Fishes publishes research on aquatic organisms, including their genetics, physiology, ecology, and aquaculture. Studies investigate topics such as genetic variability in farmed fish, environmental factors influencing fishing grounds, molecular mechanisms of molting and stress response, and the impact of pollution and disease on aquatic life. The journal also covers research on fish development, nutrition, and conservation, as well as the application of modeling and machine learning in fisheries management.
