Aims and scope

Aquaculture International is an international journal publishing original research papers, short notes, 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. 
* The 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, behaviour, appetite, conversion efficiency and growth rates of cultured species.
* The development of economically sound and sustainable production techniques.
* Bioengineering studies focusing on important aspects of the design and management of both offshore and land-based systems, as well as the integration and application of improved scientific and engineering technologies.
* The improvement of quality and marketing of farmed products.
* The sociological and societal impacts of aquaculture.

Each article will, where appropriate, include a clear statement of the practical significance and implications of the results obtained from original research conducted or literature synthesized, in a way that can be readily appreciated by commercial farmers.
