Journal of Applied IchthyologyOfficial Journal of the World Sturgeon Conservation Society

The “Journal of Applied Ichthyology” serves as a world-wide forum for all aspects of applied fisheries research andaquaculture. The Journal strives for complete coverage of these subject areas, the highest possible quality ofpapers, quick publication and a high technical standard of presentation.The “Journal of Applied Ichthyology” is international and interdisciplinary and publishes original contributions,reviews and short notes dealing with Aquaculture (including extensive and intensive Culture Techniques, Nutrition,Physiology, and Endocrinology), Development and Management of Fisheries Resources (including Technology),Ecotoxicology, Fisheries Ecology, Fish Health and Pathology, Fisheries in Developing Countries, and Genetics. Themain theme is research orientated toward practical application. Language of publication is English.
