About Us

The American Fisheries Society (AFS), founded in 1870, is the oldest and largest professional society representing fisheries scientists. AFS promotes scientific research and enlightened management of resources for optimum use and enjoyment by the public. It also encourages a comprehensive education for fisheries scientists and continuing on-the-job training.

 The Tennessee Chapter is an active local extension of the AFS. The chapter is composed of professionals, students, and others with an interest in the area of fisheries.
