Fisheries JournAl
In 2008 AFS will begin a new open
access electronic-only journal
devoted to the science and management
of marine and coastal
fish, fisheries, and fish habitat. This
peer-reviewed publication will
provide a highly visible outlet for
the growing number of marine
and coastal fisheries papers. The
format will encourage lively, current,
and transparent debate on
controversial topics through use
of comments, viewpoints, and
invited perspectives. The scope is
international and includes open
ocean, coastal, and estuarine
environments. Since there will be
no charge to access articles, AFS
hopes to reach the global fisheries
research and management community.
Editors and staff will focus
on rapid review and publication.
James Cowan, a professor of
oceanography and coastal
sciences at Louisiana State
University, is the new journal’s
development editor. He can be
reached at jhcowan@lsu.edu.
