Aquaculture Economics and Management is a new journal published by Blackwell Science on behalf of the International Association of Aquaculture Economics and Management. The Journal provides the first single forum for aquaculture economics and management related papers - especially those of an applied nature. The primary purpose of Aquaculture Economics and Management is to encourage the application of economic analysis to the management of aquaculture in both the private and public sectors. The Journal publishes original, high-quality papers related to all aspects of aquaculture economics and management including aquaculture inputs, aquaculture production, farm management, processing, distribution, marketing, consumer behavior, pricing, government policy, modeling, international trade, transfer of technology, international cooperation, and environmental impacts.
Papers are peer-reviewed and evaluated for their scientific merits and contributions.
Country and species reviews are also welcome. The inaugural issue will be available in March 1997. The aim of this first issue is to provide a comprehensive review of applications of economic analyses to the management of aquaculture in both the private and public sectors.
