Journal Guide

Official journal of the Aquacultural Engineering Society (AES)Aquacultural Engineering is concerned with the design and development of effective aquacultural systems for marine and freshwater facilities. The journal aims to apply the knowledge gained from basic research which potentially can be translated into commercial operations.Problems of scale-up and application of research data involve many parameters, both physical and biological, making it difficult to anticipate the interaction between the unit processes and the cultured animals. Aquacultural Engineering aims to develop this bioengineering interface for aquaculture and welcomes contributions in the following areas:– Engineering and design of aquaculture facilities– Engineering-based research studies– Construction experience and techniques– In-service experience, commissioning, operation– Materials selection and their uses– Quantification of biological data and constraintsStyle of presentation is flexible, but those papers dealing with specific problems should attempt to define them clearly in terms of systems engineering, quantifying the constraints, proposing solutions, implementing and detailing the design, and finally evaluating the outcome.

Aquaculture is an international journal for the exploration, improvement and management of all freshwater and marine food resources. It publishes novel and innovative research of world-wide interest on farming of aquatic organisms, which includes finfish, mollusks, crustaceans and aquatic plants for human consumption. Research on ornamentals is not a focus of the Journal. Aquaculture only publishes papers with a clear relevance to improving aquaculture practices or a potential application.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Aquaculture Economics and Management is a peer-reviewed, international journal that aims to encourage the application of economic analysis to the management of aquaculture in both the private and public sectors. The Journal publishes original, high-quality papers related to all aspects of aquaculture economics and management including:aquaculture inputs aquaculture production farm management processing distribution marketing consumer behavior, pricing government policy modeling international trade transfer of technology international cooperation and environmental impacts Papers are peer-reviewed and evaluated for their scientific merits and contributions.Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

nter-Research is pleased to announce the founding of a new journal: Aquaculture Environment Interactions (AEI). The journal will serve as a multi-disciplinary, international forum for primary research studies on the diverse interactions between aquaculture and the environment. Dr Tim Dempster (SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture, Norway) and Dr Marianne Holmer (University of Southern Denmark) have been appointed Editors-in-Chief.

Aquaculture International is an international journal publishing original research papers, short communications, technical notes and review papers on all aspects of aquaculture.
The Journal covers topics such as the biology, physiology, pathology and genetics of cultured fish, crustaceans, molluscs and plants, especially new species; water quality of supply systems, fluctuations in water quality within farms and the environmental impacts of aquacultural operations; nutrition, feeding and stocking practices, especially as they affect the health and growth rates of cultured species; sustainable production techniques; bioengineering studies on the design and management of offshore and land-based systems; the improvement of quality and marketing of farmed products; sociological and societal impacts of aquaculture, and more.This is the official Journal of the European Aquaculture Society.

Aquaculture Nutrition is an exciting journal, published on a bimonthly basis, providing a global perspective on the nutrition of all cultivated aquatic animals. Topics range from extensive aquaculture to laboratory studies of nutritional biochemistry and physiology. The Journal specifically seeks to improve our understanding of the nutrition of aquacultured species through the provision of an international forum for the presentation of reviews and original research papers.Aquaculture Nutrition publishes papers which strive to:increase basic knowledge of the nutrition of aquacultured species and elevate the standards of published aquaculture nutrition research.improve understanding of the relationships between nutrition and the environmental impact of aquaculture.increase understanding of the relationships between nutrition and processing, product quality, and the consumer.help aquaculturalists improve their management and understanding of the complex discipline of nutrition.help the aquaculture feed industry by providing a focus for relevant information, techniques, tools and concepts.

Aquaculture Reports will publish original research papers and reviews documenting outstanding science with a regional context and focus, answering the need for high quality information on novel species, systems and regions in emerging areas of aquaculture research and development, such as integrated multi-trophic aquaculture, urban aquaculture, ornamental, unfed aquaculture, offshore aquaculture and others. Papers having industry research as priority and encompassing product development research or current industry practice are encouraged.

We welcome submissions on novel species or production systems and on species or production systems established locally or with regional significance, falling within the following categories:

• Feeding management, nutrition and health: all aspects of aquatic animal feed, nutrition, health and diseases relevant to aquaculture, including evaluation of regional feeds and feedstuffs as well as novel feed management practices and techniques.
• Production, economics and sustainability: production methods and systems for aquatic produce. Dissemination of interdisciplinary knowledge regarding the sustainable management of aquatic resources and resulting impacts on people and the environment. Articles which include economic analysis are encouraged.
• Genetics, developmental biology, physiology and life cycle: all aspects of farmed aquatic animals and plants relevant to solving problems related to their culture.

International in perspective, Aquaculture Research is published 12 times a year and specifically addresses research and reference needs of all working and studying within the many varied areas of aquaculture. The Journal regularly publishes papers on applied or scientific research relevant to freshwater, brackish, and marine aquaculture. It covers all aquatic organisms, floristic and faunistic, related directly or indirectly to human consumption. The journal also includes review articles, short communications and technical papers. Young scientists are particularly encouraged to submit short communications based on their own research.

Aquaculture Science and Management is an open access peer-reviewed journal that aims to publish innovative research about the management of aquaculture species, the related food security considerations, and the industry’s relationship with the environment.
The subjects covered include, but are not limited to, animal management and health, infectious and non-infectious diseases, genetics, reproduction, animal welfare and ethics, technology, policy and legislation, economics, food security and climate change.
The journal welcomes content from around the world.
