Aims & Scope

Plankton and Benthos Research is a peer-reviewed journal publishing quarterly original papers, reviews and notes dealing with any aspect of the biology and ecology of planktonic and benthic organisms and their interactions with the environment in any aquatic system, and is open to all scientists around the world.

Submission of a paper is held to imply that it represents an original contribution not previously published and that it is not being considered elsewhere.
