The Journal of Fish Biology


The Official Journal of the Fisheries Society of the British Isles

The Journal of Fish Biology is a leading international journal for scientists engaged in all aspects of fish and fisheries research, both freshwater and marine.

   
 
 
 
 

 
 

The journal publishes high-quality papers relevant to the central theme of fish biology and aims to bring together under one cover an overall picture of the research in progress and to provide international communication among researchers in many disciplines with a common interest in the biology of fish. Topics covered include: Aquaculture; Behaviour; Biochemistry; Diseases; Distribution; Ecology; Genetics; Growth; Immunology; Migration; Morphology; Parasitology; Physiology; Pollution; Population studies; Reproduction; Taxonomy; Toxicology.

The Journal of Fish Biology is now published by Blackwell Publishing. Individuals and libraries that have not received recent (since 2003) issues to get in touch with Blackwells. Anyone who has not received issues up to and including December 2002 on the other hand should contact our previous JFB publisher (Elsevier).
Key contacts at Blackwells are: Nigel Balmforth and Elaine Stott

JOURNAL OF FISH BIOLOGY SUPPLEMENTARY ISSUES

We are pleased to announce the launch of four special Molecular Sciences supplementary issues within the Journal of Fish Biology from 2006. These Molecular Sciences supplementary issues will feature papers on molecular biology, genetics, taxonomy, biochemistry and immunology and will be edited by Professor Norman Maclean. The first supplement is available free.

PRE-SUBMISSION ASSISSTANCE WITH MANUSCRIPTS

The Journal of Fish Biology has become a preferred site for publication of papers, with submission rates at an all time high. Whilst this is greatly welcomed, it can pose problems for authors whose first language is not English. Previously editors and referees have provided some assistance in correcting the English, but this is becoming more and more difficult due to the increasing volume of work. For those in this situation help is at hand!

The Lucidus Consultancy (a pre-submission editorial service), aided by a panel of fish biologists, including members of FSBI, will provide assistance in the revision of text to bring your manuscript to a standard acceptable for consideration by the Journal. The reviewers will check and amend your text but will not express an opinion about its suitability for publication, as that is the prerogative of the Journal's Editor.

The cost of this service is €10-15 per page. For further details and for submission of draft manuscripts send your requests to: edit@lucidusconsultancy.com.
