Fish and Fisheries - A leading fish and fisheries reviews journal

Fish and Fisheries adopts a broad, interdisciplinary approach to the subject of fish biology and fisheries. It draws contributions in the form of major synoptic review papers and synthesis that lays out new approaches, methods or theory, discussion papers and commentaries from diverse areas, including:
fish palaeontology, molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, physiology, ecology, behaviour, evolutionary studies, conservation, assessment, population dynamics, mathematical modelling, ecosystem analysis and the social, economic and policy aspects of fisheries.

A paper in Fish and Fisheries must make general points which make it compelling to a wide range of readers whatever their geographical location. In short, we aim to publish review articles, articles that make new syntheses of old or synoptic, long-term data, introduce fresh concepts or theory, or may briefly outline preliminary ideas or new ideas. Submissions not meeting this mandate are likely to be directed to the primary literature.

Though Fish and Fisheries aims to enable the wider consideration of significant and sometimes controversial issues, its ethos is one of impartiality and non-partisanship. It therefore strives to provide balance and, in so doing, encourages all sides of a debate to submit their views to the wider examination of the journal's readership
