In an effort to promote student membership, the World
Aquaculture Society offers students the benefits of full membership at a
substantially reduced cost. An annual fee of $40 entitles you to
quarterly issues of the Journal of The World Aquaculture Society, one
of the oldest and most respected sources for technical reports in the field of
aquaculture. In addition, you'll receive World Aquaculture Magazine,
a quarterly profile of the most innovative aspects of our global aquaculture
industry.
Student members can also attend and participate in
several national and international conferences sponsored by WAS. These
conferences provide a variety of student activities including: student paper
and poster competitions, competitive travel grants, student mentorship, and
employment programs that help defer the costs of conference travel.
Perhaps the most rewarding aspect of participation is the personal and
professional contacts made possible through WAS membership. For a
detailed description of the Benefits offered to WAS Student Members, please
check out the Student Benefits link.
Becoming a student member of WAS
is a great place to start getting involved in global aquaculture. But don’t stop there, aquaculture in your
region is very important. Besides the benefits offered to you as a WAS student
member, becoming a student member for of the chapter in your region or in the
region closest to you will also make you eligible for Chapter student benefits,
which are in addition to the benefits afforded you by your WAS membership. The Student Activities Committees of the US Aquaculture Society, SE Asian Chapter, and Latin
American Chapter have been working hard to provide services for
students and need not only your membership, but also your participation. So check out their web sites and get
involved in global and regional aquaculture!!
