The Huntingford Medal
The Huntingford medal is awarded to a member of the society with the most impactful paper in the Journal of Fish Biology.
Professor Felicity Huntingford is a highly esteemed and influential behavioural biologist who has been a pioneer in the utilization of fundamental behavioural knowledge to promote health, welfare and production in cultured fish, in order to support sustainable aquaculture. Throughout her career, Professor Huntingford has been a staunch supporter of many early career researchers around the world and has written many high impact books and papers, thus making her name on this medal highly appropriate.
