The Marine Fisheries Review publishes review articles, original research reports, significant progress reports, technical notes, and news articles on fisheries science, engineering, and economics, commercial and recreational fisheries, marine mammal studies, aquaculture, and U.S. and foreign fisheries developments. Emphasis, however, is on in-depth review articles and practical or applied aspects of marine fisheries rather than pure research. Papers are normally printed within 4-6 months of acceptance.
Publication is hastened when manuscripts conform to the following recommended guidelines.
The Manuscript Submission of a manuscript to the Marine Fisheries Review implies that the manuscript is the author's own work, has not been submitted for publication elsewhere, and is ready for publication as submitted. Commerce Department personnel should submit papers under a completed NOAA Form 25-700. Manuscript pages should be numbered and have 1.5-inch margins on all sides. Running heads are not used. Use of appendices is discouraged.
