Aims and Scope
Management, aquaculture, taxonomy, behavior, stock identification, genetics, nutri-
tion, physiology; these are just a few of the subject areas included in the discipline of
fisheries science. Fisheries science encompasses both finfish and an array of aquatic
invertebrates. Included are species of economic and recreational importance, those that
may be indicators of environmental health, and some that are prized for their natural
beauty. Reviews in Fisheries Science provides a forum for the publication of reviews on
the array of subjects that make up the discipline, and gives the reader the most recent
information on the issues of today. In addition, the journal publishes articles of an
experimental or historical nature. Fisheries scientists in academia, state and federal
natural resources agencies, and in the private sector will find useful articles in each
edition of Reviews in Fisheries Science.
Critical Evaluations
Significant information and new concepts in fisheries science are often obscured by
a voluminous literature base. Although abstracting services and conventional review
articles are often of value, they do not assess the importance or judge the reliability of
the information. A principle objective of Reviews in Fisheries Science is to make these
assessments and judgments. The aim is to screen the available information to provide
you with critical reviews on the latest, most significant developments in your field.
High Standards of Excellence
The Editorial Advisory Board consists of outstanding individuals with international
reputations in their respective fields of study. They aid the editor in identifying areas
of current interest and potential authors in fisheries science. Well-known authorities
serve as referees to independently review all prospective publications to ensure the
quality and objectivity of each article.
