K. Radway Allen Award Explained

The K. Radway Allen Award is the highest honour awarded by the Australian Society for Fish Biology. It recognises individuals who have made an "outstanding contribution in fish or fisheries science."[1] The award, inaugurated in 1995, is named for New Zealand fisheries biologist Kenneth Radway Allen.

Although the process of the award is annual, it is not necessarily awarded every year. Between 1995 and 2013, the K. Radway Allen Award was given every two to four years; since 2013, it has been awarded annually.[1] Recipients need not be a member of the Australian Society for Fish Biology, although most of their research must have been undertaken in Australia.[1]
