Aims and Scope

Fisheries Management and Ecology is a journal that aims to serve as a forum for applied studies and reviews of fishery management and ecology from across the world. Studies can span from small-scale artisanal fisheries to large-scale industrial fisheries in developing and developed countries.  Studies of fishery management practices (harvest, habitat, or population manipulations), effects of fish stocking on management of fisheries, ecology and population dynamics of fish stocks that support fisheries, and fish stock assessments and associated methods are invited, if they are presented in an appropriately broad geographical, biological, or methodological scope to be of interest and utility for an international audience of fishery managers and ecologists.


The Journal aims to:

  • foster an understanding of the maintenance, development, and management of conditions under which fish populations and communities thrive, to conserve and enhance fish and their habitat;
  • promote understanding of the duality of fisheries as valuable recreational and commercial resources, and as pivotal indicators of aquatic habitat quality and conservation status;
  • facilitate the study and understanding of policy, management, operational, conservation, and ecological issues related to sustainable management of fisheries;
  • increase awareness of ecologists to the needs of fisheries managers for information, techniques, tools, and concepts useful for managing fisheries;
  • integrate ecological studies with all aspects of fisheries management;
  • ensure that conservation of fisheries and their environments is a recurring theme in management of fisheries and aquatic ecosystems.
