Oregon Chub Team<\/strong><\/p>\nAFS FELLOWS<\/h3>\n
AFS has recently established an AFS Fellows Program. The program will be implemented in three phases: (1) naming the inaugural class, (2) the transition period, and (3) the steady state period. AFS designates as Fellows of the Society certain members who have made outstanding or meritorious contributions to the diversity of fields that are included in the American Fisheries Society. The inaugural class of Fellows is large and honors those AFS members who were former presidents of the Society, editors of AFS journals, and recipients of the major AFS awards.<\/p>\n[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″]\n
