About the journal
Environmental Biology of Fishes is an international journal which publishes original studies on the ecology, life history, epigenetics, behavior, psysiology, morphology, systematics and evolution of marine and freshwater fishes and fishlike organisms. Empirical and theoretical papers are published that deal with the relationship between fishes and their external and internal environment, whether natural or unnatural. In particular, the journal concentrates on papers which advance the scholarly understanding of life and which draw on a variety of disciplines in reaching this understanding. Relevant concepts in biology and philosophy of science are also published.
Environmental Biology of Fishes publishes editorials, invited editorials, full papers, brief communications, rapid communications, essays, invited reviews, critical book reviews, translation proposals, and editorial comment and announcements.
Occasional issues are dedicated to the proceedings of relevant and topical conferences, which may also appear in a hardcover edition in the companion series Developments in Environmental Biology of Fishes.
Instructions to Authors
Manuscripts should be submitted electronically and as clear hard copies (original plus 2 copies), including tables and figures (do not send original figures with initial submission). Conventional illustrations (i.e. pen and ink) and/or original photos may be submitted as clear photocopies for initial review. Manuscripts must be submitted exclusively to Environmental Biology of Fishes and are accepted on the understanding that they have not been, nor will be, published elsewhere. If accepted for publication, all materials become the copyright of the Journal. Manuscripts should be accompanied by a cover letter giving signed permission to publish from all authors.
All copies of the manuscript must be double-spaced throughout and complete with all figures and tables at the time of submission. Electronic submission is requested and should follow the journal style provided on the Kluwer Academic Publication web page http://www.wkap.nl/authors/jrnlstylefiles/ and follow the format given below and on the Environmental Biology of Fishes homepage. Electronic submission using MS-Word is encouraged. Electronic submission via e-mail (*.pdf attachments) will facilitate a timely turn-around of the manuscript. Any manuscript that falls out of the journal's policy or scope or is too long may be returned. The final decision to publish any material in the journal or book series rests with the Editor-in-Chief. There are no page charges.
Manuscript format
Papers should be submitted in English. Spelling may follow either American (Webster) or British (Oxford) usage but must be consistent. When preparing manuscripts authors should follow the most recent issues of Environmental Biology of Fishes. Please note the journal's usage of lower-case and capital letters and punctuations as well as the left justification of all headings. We do not place a comma between the author's name and the year of publication in text citations; volume numbers and names of journals or book titles are not underlined; page numbers are incorporated in books and theses cited; figures in text and their captions are to be numbered consecutively, e.g. `Figure 1', `Figure 2' or `Figures 1, 2' and `Table 1'. The word `Figure' is not abbreviated in the text or figure legends. Single quotation `marks' are to be used throughout; only quotation marks inside the single quotation marks can be the usual ``double marks'.
Only generic or specific names should be underlined or printed in italics. Do not underline or italicize Latin or foreign idioms or abbreviations, such as, a priori, en passant, et al. Common abbreviations, such as mm, m, km, g, kg, ml, l (liter), mg, h (hour), min, sec, %, should be used only with numerals, in lower case, and without periods. Other abbreviations should have periods in the proper place, e.g., ad lib. (= ad libitum), cf. (= compare), ca. (= circa, about), e.g. (= exempli gratia, for example), no. (= number), op. cit. (= opere citato, in the work cited), i.e. (= id est, that is), and vs. (= versus).
Title page
The title page should give the title of the paper, the name of the author (given name in full) and her or his affiliation and address (underlined or in italics) followed by the e-mail address of the senior or corresponding author, and finally, at bottom of the page the key words (no more than six) in lower case which should complement the title but not repeat words in it. Multiple authors should form a single line with the '&' sign instead of an `and' before the last author, with superscript numbers referring to appropriate lines of affiliation. If the first or senior author is not handling the correspondence one of the others should be clearly designated for mailing. Multiple authors should be arranged alphabetically if all are equal, otherwise according to seniority. Unless indicated otherwise, the first or senior author's address is to be used for correspondence and receiving proofs. Corresponding authors are responsible for checking with their co-authors concerning corrections and ordering of reprints.
Synopsis
The Synopsis, on the second page, should not exceed one double-spaced page. It should summarize the most important findings and observations presented in the paper. Do not repeat details of methods or results in the Synopsis.
Text of the manuscript
The typical sections of the manuscript would include:
Introduction (including scope or history of the issue)
Material and methods (approach)
Results
Discussion
Summary/Conclusion
Acknowledgements
References cited
Use headings and subheadings only if they are informative and necessary to the context of the paper There should be no more than three ranks of headings. Do not number section headings. Do not use abbreviations or acronyms without an initial explanation of their meaning.
Acknowledgements
Acknowledge only individuals or organizations critical to the development of the paper and state clearly and concisely their contribution to the manuscript. Acknowledgement of outside reviewers contributing to the manuscript before submission for publication is encouraged.
References cited
Citations in text must concur exactly to the list of references cited, and vice versa (the'&' sign instead of `and', no commas or semicolons for citations within text). The names of all journals should be given in full. Cite literature in the text by the name-and-year system, e.g. (Nielsen 1994), Hubbs et al. (2002), Nielsen & 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. Skulason (1996a). 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. Be sure to double-space all citations. Use 'in press' only when formal acceptance has been granted. Titles in non-Roman characters (e.g. Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian) should be given in English, with the original language given in parentheses. The accuracy of the references cited is the responsibility of the author.
Submitted papers, technical reports, briefs, abstracts, and any such writings not obtainable via regular library channels (i.e. the gray literature), should not be quoted as references cited but, as unpublished data or personal communications in the text or as footnotes. Footnotes, with consecutive superscript numbers should be arranged on the bottom of the pages on which they are first cited. Examples of such footnote citations would be as follows:

Tables
Captions for Tables and Appendices should be placed above each table or appendix. Reference should be made to each table and figure in the text. Do not insert vertical rules or dotted lines in the 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
Figures should be numbered in Arabic numerals. Captions for illustrations should be typed separately in the same form as the text. All figure descriptions should be in lower case (including a, b, c ... labels in a collage) except for the first letter of the first word.
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, or other dimensions. Illustrations should be submitted in original and two legible copies. Symbols, letters and numerals must be at least 1.5 mm high when the figure is reduced to the appropriate size (column width), and must simulate as much as possible the typeset letters or numerals (do not typewrite or use computer graphics). ldentify each illustration, on the back, by lightly writing the author's name and figure number. Glossy prints of black-and- white photographs should be no larger than a manuscript page.
Color reproductions are allowed but must be paid per page, and the author or employer or sponsor must guarantee the costs when color reproductions are requested. Otherwise no page charges are requested.
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 author's name. If possible, group suitable photographs on one plate. The maximum area for a halftone is 210 X 140 mm. 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 printer 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
Measurements should be given in metric units (SI symbols) only. The inclined vertical line must not be used as an abbreviation for per. Data requiring this treatment should appear as in the following examples: 2 m sec-1, 10 mg O2 g-1 h-1, 2.1 x 105 cells cm-2. For dates use day-month--year sequence such as 1 May 1989 or 1.5.1989. For abbreviations of months in figures and tables use three letters such as `Jan, Mar, Apr, Jul, Aug,' without a period. Follow standard mathematical notation in formulae. Explain any special characters.
Manuscript Proofs
Revised manuscripts, after provisional acceptance, should be submitted as two printed copies and an electronic version. Electronic manuscripts must be identical to the final printed copies. Double density (DD) or high density (HD) diskettes are acceptable. The diskette should be labeled with the name of the computer and word processing software used, as well as the name of the author(s) and the name of the file. Scanned figures of print quality saved on ZIP diskettes are also acceptable.
The publisher will send page proofs to the first author unless otherwise stated on the title page of the manuscript. Proofs must be corrected and returned to the publisher within 1 week of receipt. Alterations in proof other than correction of printer's errors may be charged to authors. Authors are responsible for errors in typesetting; alterations of contents in proofs must be held to a minimum.
Reprints
The authors will obtain 50 reprints free of charge (sent to the corresponding author); additional reprints can be ordered at a specified rate on a form accompanying proofs.
Copyright
Papers are processed with the understanding that they have not been published, submitted, or accepted for publication elsewhere. All papers accepted for publication are subject to editorial revisions. Papers cannot be processed further if a signed copy of the Consent to Publish and Transfer of Copyright form does not accompany the revised final copy or proofs. By submitting a manuscript authors agree that the copyright is transferred to the publisher 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 Noakes 1992' unless the copyright holder asks otherwise).
