About the journal
The Bulletin of Marine Science is dedicated to the dissemination of research dealing with the tropical and subtropical waters of the world’s oceans. All aspects of marine science are treated by the Bulletin of Marine Science, including papers in marine biology, biological oceanography, fisheries, marine policy, applied marine physics, marine geology and geophysics, marine and atmospheric chemistry, meteorology, and physical oceanography. In most regular issues the Bulletin features separate sections on new taxa and coral reefs.
The Bulletin of Marine Science is now in its 59th year of publication. Commencing in 1951 the first volumes were published as the Bulletin of Marine Science of the Gulf and Caribbean. The name was changed in 1965 (volume 15) to the present one. It is published by the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, University of Miami, 4600 Rickenbacker Causeway, Miami, Florida 33149-1031 U.S.A.
The Bulletin of Marine Science (print ISSN 0007-4977, online ISSN 1553-6955) is published four times per year in one volume for the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science of the University of Miami by AllenPress, Inc., 810 East 10th Street, Lawrence, Kansas 66044-0368 U.S.A.

Instructions for Computer File Preparation
Text (including literature cited, figure legends, table legends, etc.
Macintosh files are preferred.
Files should be prepared in 12 point type using the Times or Times New Roman font.
Do not mix fonts special characters in other font styles will be copied from the final manuscript when typeset. Authors should circle special characters to be copied from manuscript.
No scripting of characters or boldfacing, except for new species which are boldfaced.
No hard hyphens, hard spaces, embedded code, or small caps.
Taxonomic binomials are italicized nothing else is italicized unless part of a formula or a quote.
No underlining except when the italics font is not available to the author.
No indenting of paragraphs or centering of headings all text must be flush left.
Single space all text including the Literature Cited and all table and figure legends.

Avoid the use of very small print, fine lines (hairlines) or very light stippling these fade or disappear during final printing, or in the case of text, become unreadable.
Photographs should be high-contrast glossy or matte finish prints avoid photographs containing subtle shades of gray particularly for those graphic portions of interest.
Do not submit negatives of photographs or photographic slides.
All figures must be submitted electronically and on high-quality white paper. Submit original figures only following acceptance.
Figures with errors will either be returned or printed with the errors. The Bulletin does not redraw or modify figures. Please proof carefully.
Guidelines for Submitting Electronic Images
Like many publications, Bulletin of Marine Science is undergoing a transition to fully electronic media for submissions and publication. The general “Guidelines for Submitting Imagesare intended to provide an overview to assist you in designing figures that will enhance the presentation of your data. Submitting figures developed using these guidelines also will shorten production time, allow for efficient layout of your article in electronic and print products, and help ensure satisfactory reproduction in all media.
Bulletin of Marine Science accepts EPS or TIFF images only. Please follow these guidelines when preparing illustrations for final submission of papers:
All lines must be at least 1/2 or 0.5 point (no hairline rules).
The resolution must be 360 dpi for color, grayscale, or continuous tone images and 1200 dpi for bitmap or line art strictly composed of black and white.
If a figure has shading or a texture, it should be saved as a TIFF file to ensure the patterns and shading are maintained.
If a color image is going to appear in the print version of the journal, it should be saved as CMYK.
Use Type 1 fonts or Postscript fonts instead of True Type fonts. Embed all fonts. Choose fonts for their readability (Helvetica, Times, Arial are good examples). Font size should not be less than 8 point in the final layout size. If special characters are used, create them as outlines or they may not process.
Size your images: 29 picas (4.833 inches, 12.28 cm) maximum for portrait images, 42 picas (7 inches, 17.78 cm) maximum for landscape images.
To embed fonts in an Illustrator EPS graphic, (1) open the file in Illustrator, (2) choose File->Save As and select Illustrator EPS from the “Save As Type(Windows) or “Format(Mac) menu, (3) click the “Savebutton, (4) in the EPS Format Dialog box, check “Include Document Fonts and (5) click “Okay
To ensure that your EPS images are properly saved and useable, you may want to open them in Adobe/SUP> Illustrator/SUP> or Photoshop/SUP>.
As always, include hard copy of all images when submitting your final manuscript to Bulletin of Marine Science.
