Journal Title：Aquatic Biology

AB publishes rigorously refereed and carefully selected Feature Articles, Research Articles, Reviews and Notes, as well as Comments/Reply Comments (for details see MEPS 228:1), Theme Sections, Opinion Pieces (previously called 'As I See It') (for details consult the Guidelines for Authors) concerned with the biology, physiology, biochemistry and genetics (including the ’omics‘) of all aquatic organisms under laboratory and field conditions, and at all levels of organisation and investigation. Areas covered include:

-Biological aspects of biota: Evolution and speciation; life histories; biodiversity, biogeography and phylogeography; population genetics; biological connectedness between marine and freshwater biota; paleobiology of aquatic environments; invasive species.

-Biochemical and physiological aspects of aquatic life; synthesis and conversion of organic matter (mechanisms of auto- and heterotrophy, digestion, respiration, nutrition); thermo-, ion, osmo- and volume-regulation; stress and stress resistance; metabolism and energy budgets; non-genetic and genetic adaptation.

-Species interactions: Environment–organism and organism–organism interrelationships; predation: defenses (physical and chemical); symbioses.

-Molecular biology of aquatic life.

-Behavior: Orientation in space and time; migrations; feeding and reproductive behavior; agonistic behavior.

-Toxicology and water-quality effects on organisms; anthropogenic impacts on aquatic biota (e.g. pollution, fisheries); stream regulation and restoration.

-Theoretical biology: mathematical modelling of biological processes and species interactions.

-Methodology and equipment employed in aquatic biological research; underwater exploration and experimentation.

-Exploitation of aquatic biota: Fisheries; cultivation of aquatic organisms: use, management, protection and conservation of living aquatic resources.

-Reproduction and development in marine, brackish and freshwater organisms

AB 出版經過嚴格審查和精心挑選的專題文章、研究文章、評論和筆記，以及評論/回復評論（詳情請參閱 MEPS 228:1）、主題部分、意見文章（以前稱為“我的看法”）（詳情請參閱作者指南），涉及實驗室和現場條件下以及所有組織和調查級別的所有水生生物的生物學、生理學、生物化學和遺傳學（包括“組學”）。涵蓋的領域包括：

Aquatic Biology創刊于2007年，由Inter-Research出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋生物 - 海洋與淡水生物學全領域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所屬細分領域中專業影響力一般，過審相對較易，如果您文章質量佳，選擇此期刊，發表機率較高。平均審稿速度 約3月 ，影響因子指數1.3，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
