Our Section was first recognized and established as the Exotic Fish Section in 1980, changed to the Introduced Fish Section in 1985 and to the Invasive and Introduced Species Section in 2019 to better reflect the goals and objectives of section.
The Invasive and Introduced Species Section allows for us to bridge the
issues of introducing species for management purposes as well as fully
being recognized as a Section to meet the challenges that invasive species
(fish, plants, invertebrates and others) brings our profession.
