Fisheries Oceanography

Aims & Scope

The international journal of the Japanese Society for Fisheries Oceanography, Fisheries Oceanography is designed to present a forum for the exchange of information amongst fisheries scientists worldwide.

Fisheries Oceanography: presents original research articles relating the production and dynamics of fish populations to the marine environment examines entire food chains - not just single species identifies mechanisms controlling abundance explores factors affecting the recruitment and abundance of fish species and all higher marine tropic levels
