該期刊為出版漁業(yè)科學、漁業(yè)技術(shù)、漁業(yè)管理和相關(guān)社會經(jīng)濟學領(lǐng)域的論文提供了一個國際論壇。范圍包括鹽、咸水和淡水系統(tǒng)中的漁業(yè)，以及相關(guān)生態(tài)、漁業(yè)環(huán)境和經(jīng)濟的所有方面。理論和實際論文均可接受，包括與漁業(yè)有關(guān)的實驗室和實地實驗研究。歡迎發(fā)表有關(guān)保護可開發(fā)生物資源的論文。也發(fā)表評論和觀點文章。由于特定領(lǐng)域不可避免地相互影響和相互關(guān)聯(lián)，期刊的方法是多學科的，鼓勵作者強調(diào)自己的工作與其他學科的相關(guān)性。該雜志面向漁業(yè)科學家、生物海洋學家、齒輪技術(shù)專家、經(jīng)濟學家、管理人員、行政人員、政策制定者和立法者。

This journal provides an international forum for the publication of papers in the areas of fisheries science, fishing technology, fisheries management and relevant socio-economics. The scope covers fisheries in salt, brackish and freshwater systems, and all aspects of associated ecology, environmental aspects of fisheries, and economics. Both theoretical and practical papers are acceptable, including laboratory and field experimental studies relevant to fisheries. Papers on the conservation of exploitable living resources are welcome. Review and Viewpoint articles are also published. As the specified areas inevitably impinge on and interrelate with each other, the approach of the journal is multidisciplinary, and authors are encouraged to emphasise the relevance of their own work to that of other disciplines. The journal is intended for fisheries scientists, biological oceanographers, gear technologists, economists, managers, administrators, policy makers and legislators.
