Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries

Aims & Scope

Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries is a quarterly international journal which publishes original and review articles on varied aspects of fish and fisheries biology.

The subject matter is focused on including evolutionary biology, zoogeography, taxonomy, including biochemical taxonomy and stock identification, genetics and genetic manipulation, physiology, functional morphology, behavior, ecology, fisheries assessment, development, exploitation and conservation.

The journal also publishes reviews from any field of fish biology where the emphasis is placed on adaptation, function or exploitation in the whole organism.

The aims of published reviews are first, to provide an up-to-date synopsis for research workers in the chosen field with an outline of the next problems which should be tackled, and secondly, to furnish the non-specialist fish biologist with an awareness and understanding of the field.

In addition to original and review articles, Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries includes details of interesting papers given at recent conferences, book reviews and correspondence arising from the reviews.

The Journal caters for all those with an interest in fish biology and fisheries including those from universities and research institutes, fishing industries, local, regional and government institutions and international organizations.
