Mission:
The mission of the centrarchid technical committee is to:
encourage and coordinate research leading to the development of functional management strategies toward the wise use of centrarchid stocks to advance the knowledge of centrarchid ecology and to provide a forum in which pertinent data and technologies can be exchanged within the scientific community and among user groups.
