- Applications are in the form of a research paper written on any aspect of fish biology or fisheries (fish includes commercially important molluscs and crustaceans). Papers should follow the format required by the Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research.
Email your paper to the Contact person - Applicants should nominate in writing what conference they wish to attend and its relevance to the aims and activities of the Society. This will comprise part of the Scholarship Committee’s decision.
Judging process
