 Awards: College students who elect to participate are eligible for best paper or poster awards from the Academy in several categories (see registration form).  Students are also eligible for best paper or poster awards from the American Institute of Fishery Research Biologists (AIFRB) in the broad category of fishery research. A paper by any combination of student and professional co-authors will be considered eligible if it represents work done principally by the student(s).  In the case of an award to a co-authored paper, the monetary award and a one-year membership to the Academy will be made to the first author only.
