An International Scientific Journal dealing with Applied and Fundamental Research on Macroscopic Submerged, Floating and Emergent Plants in Marine and Freshwater EcosystemsAquatic Botany offers a platform for papers relevant to a broad international readership on fundamental and applied aspects of marine and freshwater macroscopic plants in a context of ecology or environmental biology. This includes molecular, biochemical and physiological aspects of macroscopic aquatic plants as well as the classification, structure, function, dynamics and ecological interactions in plant-dominated aquatic communities and ecosystems. It is an outlet for papers dealing with research on the consequences of disturbance and stressors (e.g. environmental fluctuations and climate change, pollution, grazing and pathogens), use and management of aquatic plants (plant production and decomposition, commercial harvest, plant control) and the conservation of aquatic plant communities (breeding, transplantation and restoration). Specialized publications on certain rare taxa or papers on aquatic macroscopic plants from under-represented regions in the world can also find their place, subject to editor evaluation. Studies on fungi or microalgae will remain outside the scope of Aquatic Botany.Interesting for further reading:Editorial: What is a plant? and what is aquatic botany?Elisabeth M.

Aquatic Ecosystem Health & Management

ISSN: 1463-4988

STATEMENT:Aquatic Ecosystem Health and ManagementVolumes 1, 2 and 3 (1988, 1999, 2000) of the journal Aquatic Ecosystem Health and Management (AEHM, ISSN 1463-4988) were published by Elsevier Science in collaboration with the Aquatic Ecosystem Health and Management Society(AEHMS). From Volume 4 (2001) onwards it was decided that the AEHMS would continue the publication of their journal with another Publisher. For more information please visit the Aquatic Ecosystem Health and Management Society website (www.aehms.org) or contact the Chief Editor (E-mail: [email protected]). For queries regarding library subscriptions for previous volumes (1998, 1999 and 2000) please contact H. Verhagen (E-mail: [email protected]).AIMS AND SCOPE The major objective of this journal is to promote understanding of the structure, function and performance of healthy and damaged aquatic ecosystems (freshwater, marine, estuarine) from integrated, multi-disciplinary and sustainable perspectives. This journal focuses on the development and application of management practices that will protect, maintain, remediate or restore the health of these ecosystems and their sustainable use by humans. This journal recognizes the need to explore the complex interactions between human society, ecology, economy/development, politics and the environment. It also encourages a watershed approach which is influenced by atmospheric and terrestrial processes, both natural and anthropogenic. The journal provides a forum for the assessment and discussion of ecosystemic, integrated approaches to aquatic ecosystem research and management, including concepts and approaches that address health, integrity, performance, efficiency, remediation, natural recovery, restoration, conservation and sustainable human use. This journal seeks to foster international and cross-sectoral exchange of information among scientists, academics, managers, engineers, lawyers, citizens, politicians, business, industry and governments on the health and sustainability of global aquatic resources.

Fisheries Research

ISSN: 0165-7836
5 Year impact factor: 2.4
Impact factor: 2.2

An International Journal on Fisheries Science, Fishing Technology and Fisheries Management This journal provides an international forum for the publication of papers in the areas of fisheries science, fishing technology, fisheries management and relevant socio-economics. The scope covers fisheries in salt, brackish and freshwater systems, and all aspects of associated ecology, environmental aspects of fisheries, and economics. Both theoretical and practical papers are acceptable, including laboratory and field experimental studies relevant to fisheries. Papers on the conservation of exploitable living resources impacted by fisheries are welcome. Review and Viewpoint articles are also published. As the specified areas inevitably impinge on and interrelate with each other, the approach of the journal is multidisciplinary, and authors are encouraged to emphasise the relevance of their own work to that of other disciplines. The journal is intended for fisheries scientists, biological oceanographers, gear technologists, economists, managers, administrators, policy makers and legislators. Fisheries Research does not accept submissions on aquaculture and related studies, such as diets, domestication, breeding conditions, and genetics. Studies should be of interest to the wide readership of the journal. Studies with a purely local focus should be submitted to a relevant regional journal. Please see our Guide for Authors for information on article submission. If you require any further information or help, please visit our Support Center

Journal of Great Lakes Research

ISSN: 0380-1330
5 Year impact factor: 2.6
Impact factor: 2.4

Devoted to Research on Large Lakes of the World and their Watersheds The official Journal of the International Association for Great Lakes ResearchPublished six times per year, the Journal of Great Lakes Research is multidisciplinary in its coverage, publishing manuscripts on a wide range of theoretical and applied topics in the natural science fields of biology, chemistry, physics, geology, as well as social sciences of the large lakes of the world and their watersheds. Large lakes generally are considered as those lakes which have a mean surface area of >500 km2 (see Herdendorf, C.E. 1982. Large lakes of the world. J. Great Lakes Res. 8:379-412, for examples), although smaller lakes may be considered, especially if they are very deep. We also welcome contributions on saline lakes and research on estuarine waters where the results have application to large lakes.
