Page 3 and following
Introduction, Material(s) and Method(s), Result(s), Discussion, References, and Figure captions should follow in an unbroken sequence. Acknowledgments should be typed immediately before the references, when necessary.
Tables and Figures Tables and figures must be numbered and should be referred to as Table l or Fig. 1 etc. Each table should be typed on a separate sheet and be headed by a brief legend. All original figures should be in a finished form ready for reproduction. Photographs should be glossy prints with strong contrasts. Color photographs will be printed in color only at the author's expense. The society will invoice authors for the cost of color work. Each figure should have a short, precise legend. Legends should be listed on a separate sheet(s). For both tables and figures, the desired point of insertion should be marked in the right margin of the text. The authors may be advised to prepare tables and figures using PC packages (see Manuscripts on Disk). Tables and Figures should be printed on A4-sized paper. Illustrations should be either up to 8 cm in width to fit one column or up to 17 cm in width to fit two columns. The submitted figures should be from two to three times the final size to be printed.

Personal communications or unpublished data should be referred to in the text as follows: (Watanabe H, pers. comm., 2000); (Suzuki A & Kato Y, unpubl. data, 2000). The authors must obtain permission to cite the material as a personal communication or unpublished data. Web information including programs and data should not be listed in the references. Web addresses used in the manuscript should be indicated in the text as follows: (SDBS Website: http://www.aist.go.jp/RIODB/SDBS/2003/15). Listed references should be complete in all respects, including article titles as shown below:

Master's theses are not allowed as references. These should be cited in the text as personal communications if needed.
Units and their Abbreviations SI units should be used. Units should be written according to the following examples. The plural 's' should not be added to the abbreviated form of a unit. Examples:
Length Area Volume: pm, nm, µm, mm, cm, m, km, mm2, cm2, m2, L, mL, µL, mm3, cm3, m3, dm3
Mass: pg, ng, µg, mg, g, kg, t, Da, kDa
Time: s, min, h; specify the time as [00:00]
Temperature: °C, K
Absolute quantity: pmol, nmol, µmol, mmol, mol
Concentration: pM, nM, µM, mM, %, p.p.m., µg/kg, mg/l00 mL, mg/l00g
Work/Energy/Heat quantity: J
Force: N
Pressure: Pa, mmHg, bar
Electricity: V, W, mA, A, Hz
Photometry: cd, lx, lm, cd/m2
Sound: Hz, kHz, mHz, Abar, dB
Speed: cm/s, m/s, kn, rad/s
Radioactivity: dpm, cps, cpm, mBq, Bq, kBq, Gy, kGy, mSv, Sv, R, kR

Symbols for Physical Quantities Symbols representing physical quantities (or variables) are italic, but symbols representing units, or labels, are roman. The general rules concerning the use of an italic (sloping) font or a roman (upright) font are presented in the IUPAC Green Book (Quantities, Units and Symbols in Physical Chemistry, 2nd Edn., Blackwell Science, Oxford 1993) and the SI Brochure (Le Systeme International d'Unites, 7th Edn. BIPM, 1998).
Gene Loci Concerning genetic nomenclature, the standardized system in Gene Nomenclature for Protein-coding Loci (JB Shaklee et al. Trans. Am. Fish. Soc. 1990; 119: 2-5) should be followed.
Enzymes Where one or more enzyme is regularly referred to in a manuscript, authors should use the recommended (trivial) name with code number (preceded by 'EC') given by Nomenclature Committee of International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (cf. Enzyme Nomenclature, Recommendations, Academic Press, New York, 1992). Names of enzymes should not be abbreviated except when the substrate has an approved abbreviation (e.g. ATPase).
Nucleotide and Amino Acid Sequences Authors in Japan are requested to register new DNA and/or amino acid sequences with the DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ), National Institute of Genetics, Mishima, Japan. Authors outside of Japan should register the DNA and/or amino acid sequences with recognized public DNA data banks such as GenBank and EMBL. It is expected that newly assigned DDBJ/GenBank/EMBL accession numbers for nucleotide and/or amino acid sequence data will be included in the original manuscript or be inserted when the manuscript is modified. The accession number should be included in a separate paragraph at the end of the Materials and Methods section for full-length papers or at the end of the text for short papers. If conclusions in a manuscript are based on the analysis of sequences and a DDBJ/GenBank/EMBL accession number is not provided at the time of the review, authors may be required to provide the sequence data as a file on a floppy disk. It is expected that when previously published sequence accession numbers are cited in a manuscript, the original citations (e.g. journal articles) will be included in the References section where possible. Authors are also expected to conduct elementary searches and comparisons of nucleotide and amino acid sequences against the sequences in standard databases (e.g. GenBank) immediately before manuscripts are submitted and again at the proof stage.
Manuscripts on Disk Accepted papers should be submitted as formatted text (MS Word or Word Perfect on either Windows or Macintosh) on disks (FD/CD). Microsoft Word 2007 documents are not yet compatible with journal production systems; authors should use Word's 'Save As' option to save their documents as an older (.doc) file type. It is essential that the final version of the hard copy and the file on the disk are identical. Tables, illustrations or photographs may be submitted also on disk with matching hard copy. TIFF files are preferred; Adobe Illustrator, FreeHand or Adobe Photoshop files are also acceptable. The minimum resolution of the figure files should be 300 dpi. Authors are encouraged to visit http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor/digill.asp for more information. Japanese authors should also submit the file for the Japanese Abstract on a separate disk. It is essential that the hardware and the word processing package are specified on the disk, as well as the first author's surname, the journal title and the manuscript number. Please specify the machine type, operating system, software and version number used and ensure that the hard copy and the disk version are identical. Do not use any Japanese and Japanese-size special characters in either the manuscript file or the file name.
Proofs and Reprints Page proofs will be sent to the corresponding author. Reprints can be purchased; for the cost, see the table in the Instructions for Authors printed in the journal.
Page Charges Page charges are necessary in order to partially cover publication costs. The charge per page is ¥7,600 (note: this includes mailing costs from the Society and any necessary English revision). Extra charges will be made for color figures.
Corrections If errors are found in a paper after its publication, the author should send a correction to the Editor for publication as a Corrigendum.
Copyright Fisheries Science is copyrighted by the Japanese Society of Fisheries Science. Authors should send a signed copyright transfer form to the Editor upon acceptance of the paper.
