Aims & Scope

Aim

The Journal of Aquaculture Research and Innovation (JARI) is a new peer-reviewed scientific journal serving the academic and industrial aquaculture sector with original papers relating to aquaculture production, technology and innovation for different species of farmed fish, crustaceans, molluscs, algae, seaweeds and ornamental fish species. The Journal of Aquaculture Research and Innovation will appeal to the aquaculture practitioner, scientist, technician, feed manufacturer and at various levels in academia such as undergraduate, masters, PhD students and post-doctoral researcher and senior academics. The journal recognises that aquaculture technology and innovation play a vital role in efficiency, so related technologies associated with advancing this sector are pertinent. As both an invaluable source of validated information and a potential location for their own research findings, industry and NGO stakeholders will find the journal particularly relevant to their field.   

Journal of Aquaculture Research and Innovation is published quarterly online by Scilight Press.

Scope

The journal will feature disciplinary and interdisciplinary studies on aquatic animal production and the biosciences. These may include:

  • Husbandry, nutrition and feeds, physiology and metabolism, disease, immunology and health.
  • Aquatic veterinary medicine, welfare, genetics, breeding and hatchery management.
  • Innovative research into engineering applications for aquaculture. As such, examples may in RAS (Recirculation Aquaculture Systems), designs for improved sea cages, pens and tanks with advances in water quality, filtration, lighting and rearing of fish and shellfish towards reducing risk and meeting optimal rearing conditions.
  • The journal recognises that aquaculture technology and innovation play a vital role in production and efficiency, so related technologies associated with advancing natural fish behaviour and welfare in containment are pertinent.
  • Innovations in AI and vision learning associated with environmental control of life supporting systems and remote monitoring and sensors are also of relevance. Topics relating to aquaculture governance, societal implications and ethics will be promoted in the journal.

Manuscripts can consist of scientific work in the form of typical standard papers, short scientific communications or as review articles. Guidance will be provided with respect to format and style and length of submissions.
