Aims & Scope

The quarterly journal, Marine Fisheries Review (MFR), has been an official publication of the U.S. government since 1939. It has published review articles, research reports, significant progress reports, technical notes, and news articles on fisheries science, engineering and economics, commercial and recreational fisheries, marine mammal studies, and U.S. and foreign fisheries developments. Emphasis, however, is on in-depth review articles and practical or applied aspects of marine fisheries rather than pure research.
