Malaysian Fisheries Society

Welcome to The MFS’s Official Website

The Malaysian Fisheries Society logo represents a fish which is symbolic for the capture fisheries and aquaculture. The actively swimming fish symbolises a dynamic society. The waves above the fish represent the aquatic environment which includes the freshwater bodies and the marine environment. The blue colour used for the logo represents the aquatic environment. The round shape signifies a holistic and integrated approach to fisheries managament, development and research.
