Dedicated to the Conservation of Southeastern Fishes
The Southeastern Fishes Council (SFC) is a nonprofit scientific organization dedicated to
the study and conservation of freshwater and coastal fishes of the southeastern United States.
The southeastern region includes the greatest global
biodiversity of temperate freshwater fishes,
and has well over one-half of all species found in North America. The SFC was formed in
1975 by a group of scientists concerned with increasing environmental threats to rivers
of the Southeast, and long-term protection of the southeastern fish fauna. The SFC publishes
peer-reviewed scientific papers, regional reports, announcements, and other news in a biannual
Proceedings that is distributed to dues-paying members. Anyone is encouraged to submit original
research articles on the distribution, ecology, systematics, conservation, or other aspects of
the biology of southeastern fishes for publication in the Proceedings. The SFC has an annual
business meeting held in April of each year in conjunction with the annual conference of the
Association of Southeastern Biologists, or in June in years when the American Society of
Ichthyologists and Herpetologists meets in the Southeast.
