Student Units
Student units are organized at the university level to meet the needs of fishery students at individual universities. The Idaho Chapter sponsors two student units.
Palouse Student Unit: University of Idaho, Moscow
The Palouse Unit of the American Fisheries Society is for all students interested in fisheries conservation, recreation, management, and production. In addition to annual club events, we are actively involved in many service projects providing opportunity to engage with fisheries professionals.

Portneuf Student Unit: Idaho State University, Pocatello
The Portneuf Student Subunit is composed of undergraduate and graduate students from Idaho State University and Brigham Young University - Idaho. Our goals are to stimulate professional development of students through interactions with professionals, as well as taking interest in our local community. We accomplish this through varying activities, including:
- Assisting government agencies with stream and fish surveys
- Sponsoring elementary school classes through the Trout in the Classroom program
- Participating in community fairs and river cleanup programs
- Sponsoring guest speakers for public seminars on fisheries related issues
- Fundraising to provide assistance to students to attend the Idaho Chapter's annual meeting
