This journal focuses on aquatic ecosystems, including marine and freshwater environments. It publishes research on the biology, ecology, and management of aquatic organisms, such as fish, invertebrates, and algae. Studies investigate topics like species distribution, reproductive cycles, physiological responses to environmental conditions, population dynamics, and the impact of human activities and invasive species. The journal also covers the application of new technologies for monitoring and conservation, including environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques.
