International Aquatic Research

Aims & Scope

The journal (IAR) is an international journal that publishes original research articles, short communications, and review articles in a broad range of areas relevant to all aspects of aquatic sciences (freshwater and marine).

The Journal specifically strives to increase the knowledge of most aspects of applied researches in both cultivated and wild aquatic animals in the world.

The journal is fully sponsored, which means it is free of charge for authors.

The journal operates a single-blind peer review process.

The main research areas in aquatic sciences include: -Aquaculture- Ecology- Food science and technology- Molecular biology- Nutrition- Physiology- Water quality- Climate Change
