AES Facebook Site
We welcome active participation in the AES Facebook site and hope that it will provide an informal forum for the exchange of ideas, and the posting of interesting elasmobranch-themed current events, research findings, movie clips, and photos. Please note that the AES Facebook site is only available to current members.





The American Elasmobranch Society is a non-profit organization that seeks to advance the scientific study of living and fossil sharks, skates, rays, and chimaeras, and the promotion of education, conservation, and wise utilization of natural resources. The Society holds annual meetings and presents research reports of interest to students of elasmobranch biology. Those meetings are held in conjunction with annual meetings of the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists each year at rotating North American venues.

The membership of the society consists of members who pay annual dues in one of several membership levels listed on the application.  To be eligible to vote in the annual election and compete for student awards, you must be a member in good standing.  You are considered a member in good standing if you pay your dues by 31 December of the previous year.

    The pages that comprise the AES web site provide information on the society, document its scientific endeavors, and present information on ongoing research, society initiatives, and general interest items to all readers with an interest in elasmobranchs.
