Environmental Biology of Fishes

Aims & Scope

Environmental Biology of Fishes is an international journal that publishes original studies on the ecology, life history, epigenetics, behavior, physiology, morphology, systematics and evolution of marine and freshwater fishes.

Empirical and theoretical papers are published that deal with the relationship between fishes and their external and internal environment, whether natural or unnatural.

The journal concentrates on papers that advance the scholarly understanding of life and draw on a variety of disciplines in reaching this understanding.

Environmental Biology of Fishes publishes original papers, review papers, brief communications, editorials, book reviews and special issues.

Descriptions and submission requirements of these article types can be found in the Instructions for Authors.
