Bayless Award
The Bayless Award was created in honor of Jack D. Bayless, to recognize the best South Carolina presentation/paper given at each annual chapter meeting. Each year, volunteer judges evaluate presentations in the following categories:
- Significance to aquaculture and fisheries
- Experimental design and analysis
- Organization
- Presentation
- Quality of visual aids.
Presenters are scored on a scale of one to four, four being excellent, for each category. The presenter with the highest total score receives the award. Any members interested in volunteering as judges for the next annual meeting, or joining the Awards Committee, should contact Chris Thomason or Leo Rose.
