North American Journal of Aquaculture

We encourage the submission of original papers on all aspects of aquaculture, including broodstock selection and spawning, nutrition and feeding, health and water quality, facilities and production technology, and the management of ponds, pens, and raceways. We will consider papers dealing with ways to improve the husbandry of any aquatic species—marine or freshwater, vertebrate or invertebrate—raised for commercial, scientific, recreational, enhancement, or restoration purposes that may be of interest to practitioners in North America. Papers concerning fisheries science per se may be submitted to the American Fisheries Society’s (AFS) sister publication Transactions of the American Fisheries Society; those dealing with management may be submitted to the North American Journal of Management; those dealing with the health of fish and other aquatic organisms may be submitted to the Journal of Aquatic Animal Health; and those with a focus on marine and estuarine species and habitats may be submitted to Marine and Coastal Fisheries: Dynamics, Management, and Ecosystem Science. Authors are cautioned not to republish original data without full attribution and explicit permission; see “Dual Publication of Scientific Information” in Transactions of the American Fisheries Society 110:573–574, 1981.
