Fish are a primary food source for populations around the globe and are highly sensitive to environmental change. The Physiology Section of the American Fisheries Society (AFS) holds the International Congress on the Biology of Fish every two years. It attracts a high caliber international delegation of scientists dedicated to fish research from over 40 countries around the world. The Congress symposia cover a broad range of topics ranging from basic to applied fish biology and provide a unique environment for cross-fertilization of ideas aimed at the long term viability of global fish species. One of the strengths of the congress has always been student involvement; of the 544 delegates presenting at the last Congress, 217 were students. The quality of the students' science and presentations are exceptional and has always been real highlight of the meeting. The goal of this application is to provide support for students at the graduate and post-doctoral level to travel to and participate in the 2016 Congress to be held at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas, June 12-16. Candidates applying for NSF travel support will be judged on a combination of the scientific quality of their abstract, the relevance of their subject matter to the symposia, and financial need. The travel award program more broadly promotes development of a strong scientific infrastructure, encompassing junior scientists of many ethnicities and genders. The organizers aim to continue to foster success of under represented students in the STEM fields within Fish Physiology. In addition to the science there are several supporting sessions held throughout the congress aimed specifically at students; these range from publication/grant writing workshops, to specific mentoring and career events along with social events aimed at assisting students to develop their professional networks. Proceedings of the Congress are supplied in PDF-format, free-of-charge to the public on the AFS Physiology division website.

鱼是全球种群的主要食物来源，对环境变化非常敏感。美国渔业学会（AFS）的生理学部分每两年举行关于鱼类生物学的国际大会。它吸引了高素质国际代表团的科学家代表团，该代表团致力于来自全球40多个国家的鱼类研究。国会专题讨论会涵盖了从基本的鱼类生物学到应用的广泛主题，并为涉及全球鱼类长期生存能力的思想的交叉侵入提供了独特的环境。国会的优势之一一直是学生的参与。在上次国会举行的544名代表中，有217名学生。学生科学和演讲的质量非常出色，并且一直是会议的真正亮点。该申请的目的是为6月12日至16日在得克萨斯州圣马科斯的德克萨斯州立大学举行的2016年国会前往并参加2016年国会的学生提供支持。申请NSF旅行支持的候选人将根据其摘要的科学质量，其主题与研讨会的相关性以及财务需求的结合来判断。 旅行奖计划更广泛地促进了强大的科学基础设施的发展，包括许多种族和性别的初级科学家。组织者的目的是继续在鱼类生理学中的STEM领域取得成功的成功。除科​​学外，在整个国会中还针对学生举行了几次支持会议。这些范围从出版/赠款写作研讨会到特定的指导和职业活动以及旨在帮助学生发展专业网络的社交活动。 国会会议记录在PDF-Format提供，并在AFS生理部网站上免费向公众提供。
