The Australian Society for Fish Biology had as its inception early meetings organised by the ichthyological staff of the Australian Museum and New South Fisheries intended as a mechanism for sharing advances in fish related science and the development of initiatives leading to the better understanding of the diversity and biology of Australia’s ichthyofauna. Although the enthusiasm and casual nature of this now incorporated body has remained, the various focuses of the Society and its annual conferences have changed over the decades in line with the evolving directions of the institutions and authorities charged with addressing fish studies and management, as well as the transient influences of the many characters that have been the Society’s driving force.
