Fish and Fisheries

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 papers and syntheses or meta-analyses that lay out new approaches, re-examine existing findings, methods or theory, and discuss papers and commentaries from diverse areas. Focal areas include fish palaeontology, molecular biology and ecology, genetics, biochemistry, physiology, ecology, behaviour, evolutionary studies, conservation, assessment, population dynamics, mathematical modelling, ecosystem analysis and the social, economic and policy aspects of fisheries where they are grounded in a scientific approach. A paper in Fish and Fisheries must draw upon all key elements of the existing literature on a topic, normally have a broad geographic and/or taxonomic scope, and provide general points which make it compelling to a wide range of readers whatever their geographical location. So, in short, we aim to publish articles that make syntheses of old or synoptic, long-term or spatially widespread data, introduce or consolidate fresh concepts or theory, or, in the Ghoti section, briefly justify preliminary, new synoptic ideas. Please note that authors of submissions not meeting this mandate will be directed to the appropriate primary literature.

Fish and Fisheries 是一本采用跨学科方法研究鱼类生物学和相关渔业问题的学术期刊。该期刊主要发表综述论文和综述或元分析文章，旨在介绍新的研究方法、重新评估和审视现有的研究成果、方法或理论，并探讨跨学科领域的论文和评论。重点研究领域涵盖了鱼类古生物学、分子生物学、生态学、遗传学、生物化学、生理学、行为学、进化研究、保护工作、评估、种群动力学、数学建模、生态系统分析，以及渔业的社会、经济和政策方面。这些研究必须基于科学方法，并综合考虑广泛的地理和分类范围，提供具有普遍性的视角，以确保对全球读者具有吸引力和说服力。期刊鼓励发表能够整合旧数据或广泛分布的数据、提出或巩固新概念或理论的文章，或者在"Ghoti"版块中简要阐述初步的、新的综合观点。不符合这些要求的投稿将被推荐到其他适当的文献中。简而言之，本期刊旨在发表具有广泛影响力和创新性的研究，推动鱼类生物学和渔业领域的科学发展。
