Abstract

In this article, I would like to reflect on the journey so far that the Asian Fisheries Society (AFS), the pre-eminent and mainstream fisheries and aquaculture professional society in Asia-Pacific, has taken towards making gender in fisheries and aquaculture, with all its angles and complexities,a mainstream topic on its programmes.The AFS was created in 1984. Within two years it established a major and comprehensive triennial forum, the Asian Fisheries Forum, now called the Asian Fisheries and Aquaculture Forum (see www.9afaf.org). Along with the Forum, the interests and themes of the AFS have included several national chapters (India, Japan, and Taiwan); specialist networks, for example, fish health and social science; thematic conferences, for example, cage culture in Asia; and a scientific journal, Asian Fisheries Science.
