About the journal
Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries
|
Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries is a quarterly international journal which publishes review articles on varied aspects of fish and fisheries biology. The subject matter is focused on include evolutionary biology, zoogeography, taxonomy, including biochemical taxonomy and stock identification, genetics and genetic manipulation, physiology, functional morphology, behaviour, ecology, fisheries assessment, development, exploitation and conservation. however, reviews will be published from any field of fish biology where the emphasis is placed on adaptation, function or exploitation in the whole organism.
The aims of published reviews are first, to provide an up-to-date synopsis for research workers in the chosen field with an outline of the next problems which should be tackled, and secondly, to furnish the non-specialist fish biologist with an awareness and understanding of the field.
In addition to review articles, Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries includes details of interesting papers given at recent conferences, book reviews and correspondence arising from the reviews.
The Journal caters for all those with an interest in fish biology and fisheries including those from universities and research institutes, fishing industries, local, regional and government institutions and international organizations.

Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries (RFBF) is a quarterly international journal devoted to publishing review articles on contemporary issues and concerns in fish biology and fisheries. Reviews will be considered for publication from any aspect of the biology, ecology, and management of fish and fishing. Emphasis will be placed on broad perspectives concerning the impacts and efficiencies of fisheries science in analyses of adaptation, biological function, exploitation, and conservation of fish and fish communities. The aims of published reviews are first to provide a state-of-the-art synopsis for researchers and interested parties in the chosen field with testimony on current problems, proposed corrections, and future objectives. Secondly, these reviews are intended to provide a comprehensive overview of the history of the topic and a thorough understanding of the issues.
In addition to quarterly reviews, RFBF publishes special issues dedicate to unique topics, invited editorials, book and conference reviews, letters to the editor, and select announcements. Reviews: Methods and Technology in Fish Biology and Fisheries is a book series published in affiliation with RFBF. This book series is dedicated to the publication of larger review topics with multiple aspects and/or proceedings of symposia concerning methods and technologies in fish biology and fisheries.
RFBF caters to all readers interested in the various aspects of fish biology or fisheries, including those from universities and research institutes, resource management and conservation groups, the fisheries industry, professional biological societies, and local, regional, and international resource organizations. RFBF will consider manuscripts for publication concerning reviews of scientific methods, analyses, database structure or content, literature, policy, and/or approach. The journal welcomes manuscripts containing new research if they offer important synthesis, have a strong conceptual basis, and thoroughly review historic or contrasting ideas. Manuscripts providing significant technical details or novel methodologies should be submitted elsewhere.
Contributions
Unsolicited review manuscripts must fall within the aims and scope of the journal and should not exceed 33 pages in manuscript length (including figures, tables and literature). Invited editorials, book and conference reviews, letters to the editor, and select announcements are published at the discretion of the editorial staff and the publisher. Ideas on topics appropriate for RFBF special issues (SI) or as a volume in the methods-and-technology book series must first be presented in outline form to the Editor in Chief for consideration for publication. Contributors should feel free to discuss subject and content with Dr. Nielsen at any time.

Cite only refereed, published work as far as possible. Use in press only when formal acceptance has been granted. Unpublished material (i.e. manuscripts in review, technical reports, proceedings abstracts, and summaries of raw data not previously published) should be designated in the text as unpublished dataor personal communications, and omitted from the reference list. Cite literature in the text by the Harvard name-and-year system, e.g. Nielsen (1994), Nielsen et al. (in press), Nielsen and Fountain (1999). Use et al. when there are three or more authors. Use a, b, etc. to distinguish papers by the same authors with the same date, e.g. Nielsen (1996a). Contributors are responsible for ensuring that all citations have matching and appropriate entries in the reference list and vise versa. Errors or incomplete citations may delay or prevent successful publication of a manuscript. Arrange all references alphabetically, by surname(s) of the author(s), then chronologically. List single authored papers first than list co-authored papers where the same author is listed as first-author. Arrange multi-authored references having the same first author chronologically. Abbreviate journal titles according to World List of Scientific Periodicals or the Periodical Title Abbreviations. If in doubt give the full title. Be sure to double-space all citations.

Tables
Tables must be double-spaced, on separate numbered pages (one table per page) at the end of the manuscript. Do not embed tables in your manuscript. Use horizontal lines sparingly, and no vertical lines.
Each table must have an Arabic number (sequentially based on their citation in the manuscript) and a concise title that explains all of the information given in the table. Put all sources, technical details, etc. in the caption rather than in footnotes whenever possible. Put values to be compared in columns, not rows. Tables must be fully self-explanatory, so that they can be understood without reference to the text.
Figure Legends
Number each figure (Arabic) in order of mention in the manuscript. List an informative legend (double-spaced) for each figure on a separate, numbered page sequentially. Figure legends should be concise and able to be understood without reference to the text (e.g. explain all abbreviations). Put all necessary information in the legend and avoid keys drawn on the figure.
Figures
Send illustrations on separate pages at the end of the manuscript. Do not embed illustrations or figures in the text. Send good quality photocopies (one for each copy of the manuscript) of line drawings, photos, x-ray images, micrographs, computer-generated illustrations or maps in your first submission. Retain the original artwork until you submit a revised manuscript following review and acceptance of the paper. Always use scale bars to indicate reference size, magnification, map distance, etc.
Submit original photographs (upon acceptance of your manuscript) as glossy black-and-white prints, mounted on lightweight white card stock with protective overlays if possible. Attach to the back a label indicating top, figure number, and authors name. If possible, group suitable photographs on one plate. The maximum area for a halftone is 210 X 140 mm. Color figures can be reproduced if the author agrees with the published to pay for the extra cost of color reproduction. Line drawings should be prepared in black India ink, on rag-bond paper, drawing board, drafting film, or graph paper ruled in light blue. Use a laser printed for computer-generated graphics. Allow for 2:1 (linear, not area) reduction of all figures. Use at least 0.25 mm thick lines for illustrations. Use upper and lower case letters with capitals at least 4 mm high in all graphs or illustrations. Do not submit drawings wider than 260 mm. Use clear, high quality lettering for hand labeling of figures.
Units, Symbols, and Mathematics
Metric units are required in all measurements. SI symbols should be used throughout. Follow standard mathematical notation in formulae. Explain any special characters.
Manuscript Proofs
The publisher will send page proofs to the first author unless otherwise stated on the title page of the manuscript. Proofs must be corrected within three days of receipt. Alterations in proof other than correction of printers errors may be charged to authors. There will be no proofs for submissions to the Letters section.
Reprints
Authors will receive 25 free reprints (sent to the corresponding author) following publication. All authors will be given the opportunity to order more copies upon the return of proofs.
Copyright
Submission of a paper to Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries or Reviews: Methods and Technology in Fish Biology and Fisheries will be taken to imply that it represents an original unpublished text, not under consideration for publication elsewhere. By submitting a manuscript authors agree that the copyright for there is transferred to the published if and when the article is accepted for publication. The copyright covers the exclusive rights to reproduce and distribute the article, including reprints, photographic reproductions, microfilm or any reproduction of a similar nature, and transactions.
Written permission to publish illustrations must be obtained by the author before submission and any acknowledgement should be included in the figure captions (use the format reproduced with permission from Nielsen 1996 unless the copyright holder asks otherwise).
