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.

FSBI Annual Symposium
Since 1977, the highlight of each year has always been our amazing annual symposium. Next year's symposium is hosted by Nottingham Trent University from the 25th-29th July 2022.
The symposium will explore the ways in which fish are able to occupy a broad range of naturally dynamic environments, as well as their capacity to adapt to habitat loss and directional environmental change.
Want to Host Next Year's Symposium? Apply Now!
Our annual symposium is known by fish and fisheries researchers worldwide and is always fully supported by the FSBI.
