Aquaculture Research is a new and independent journal published monthly. It is international in perspective 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, technical papers and book reviews. Young scientists are particularly encouraged to submit short communications based on their own research.
