The FSBI is an international, non-political, learned society based in the United Kingdom, that supports scientific activity in fish biology and fisheries science through charitable activities including grant funding, travel awards and conference sponsorship, and through the publication of the Journal of Fish Biology.
Membership is open to anyone interested in these objectives.
Join the FSBI to get access to the Journal of Fish Biology, grant opportunities and reduced fees for our annual symposium.
We are constantly trying to improve the society to make it more accessible and valuable to our members.
