Aims & Scope

Fisheries & Aquatic Life is an open access peer-reviewed journal which provides an advanced forum for studies related to aquatic research in the widest sense. Papers on fish biology, fisheries, and aquaculture issues are especially welcome in association with experimental studies. The journal publishes research articles, short communications, reviews, monographic papers and, occasionally, the proceedings of conferences and symposia.
