The American Fisheries Society promotes scientific research and sustainable management of fisheries resources. It also publishes some of the world’s leading fisheries research journals and books and encourages comprehensive education for fisheries professionals. By organizing scientific meetings where new results are reported and discussed, it acts as a forum for scientists, professionals, managers, and students around the world. Their annual meeting provides opportunities for graduate students to present their studies, receive feedback, and network with fisheries professionals.

Sea Grant funds supported travel for seven graduate students and one undergraduate student from the University of Maine School of Marine Sciences to attend the 2014 annual meeting in Québec City and present the following research:
