Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Philippine Journal of Fisheries publishes research on various aspects of fisheries and aquatic ecosystems. Articles cover fish physiology, diet, and health, including responses to environmental factors like water hardness and pollutants such as mercury. The journal also addresses aquaculture practices, such as the development of intermuscular bones in milkfish and the use of dietary supplements for shrimp. Research extends to the ecology of aquatic environments, including phytoplankton dynamics, coral reef fish communities, and the impact of invasive species. Additionally, the journal features studies on the management of fisheries resources, the socio-economic contributions of fisherfolk, and the effects of climate change and environmental degradation on aquatic systems.
