Full Articles/ Reviews/ Shorts Papers/ Abstracts are welcomed in the following research fields:

Fisheries Science & Aquatic Biology

• Fish Biology & Physiology: Comparative anatomy, cardiovascular systems, aquatic respiration, osmoregulation, metabolic adaptations, and sensory systems in marine and freshwater organisms.

• Aquaculture & Mariculture Biology: Sustainable fish farming, selective breeding, larval rearing, artificial propagation, and recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS).

• Fisheries Ecology & Population Dynamics: Aquatic food webs, stock assessment models, predator-prey dynamics, habitat carrying capacity, and recruitment dynamics.

• Fisheries Management & Marine Policy: Overfishing mitigation, maximum sustainable yield (MSY), marine protected areas (MPAs), gear selectivity, and ecosystem-based management.

• Marine Biodiversity & Taxonomy: Fish taxonomy, molecular phylogenetics, extreme environment adaptations, and deep-sea biodiversity preservation.

Fisheries & Biological Science Interrelations

• Marine Biotechnology & Bioprospecting: Extraction of novel bioactive compounds, marine natural products, enzymes from extremophiles, and bio-inspired materials from marine life.

• Aquatic Pathology & Immunology: Fish diseases, host-pathogen interactions in water, teleost immune systems, aquatic epidemiology, and diagnostic methods for aquaculture.

• Aquatic Ecotoxicology & Pollution: Microplastic accumulation, heavy metal bioaccumulation, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, ocean acidification impact, and bio-indicator monitoring.

• Limnology & Biological Oceanography: Plankton dynamics, biological pumps, nutrient cycling, coral reef biology, and estuarine biology.

• Ecosystem Health & Climate Change Biology: Marine heatwaves, shift in species distribution, coral bleaching, habitat restoration, and biological indicators of ocean degradation.

Fisheries & Medical Science Interrelations

• Nutritional Medicine & Human Health: Essential fatty acids (EPA/DHA Omega-3s), high-quality marine proteins, micronutrient bioavailability, dietary ocean nutrients, and cardiovascular health benefits.

• Seafood Safety & Toxicology: Ciguatera toxins, paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP), histamine fish poisoning (scombroid), mercury bioaccumulation risks, and seafood-borne pathogen detection (Vibrio species).

• Aquatic Biomedical Models: Zebrafish (Danio rerio) as developmental models, killifish for aging studies, horseshoe crabs for endotoxin testing, and sea urchin models in embryology.

• Pharmaceuticals & Therapeutics from the Sea: Marine-derived anticancer agents (e.g., Cytarabine, Trabectedin), marine peptides for pain management (e.g., Ziconotide), chitin/chitosan wound healing materials, and fish collagen applications in tissue engineering.

• Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in Aquatic Systems: Antibiotic overuse in aquaculture, horizontal gene transfer in water bodies, environmental reservoirs of drug-resistant microbes, and human health risks.

Biological & Medical Sciences Interrelations

• Molecular Biology & Genetics: Gene expression regulation, DNA sequencing techniques, CRISPR-Cas system applications, functional genomics, and epigenetics.

• Microbiology & Parasitology: Zoonotic spillover pathogens, host-parasite life cycles, environmental bacteriology, viral dynamics, and microbiome research.

• Immunology & Vaccinology: Innate and adaptive immune mechanisms, cross-species immunity, vaccine development platforms, and auto-immunity research.

• Cell Biology & Histology: Cellular metabolism, apoptosis, tissue architecture, membrane transport, and signal transduction pathways.

• Comparative Pathology & Anatomy: Evolutionary disease mechanics, tissue degeneration across species, comparative organ function, and translational medicine.

Three-Way Integrated Domains (Fisheries, Biology, and Medicine)

• One Health Framework: The systemic connection between healthy marine ecosystems, sustainable fish stocks, animal welfare, and global human health outcomes.

• Translational Aquatic Biomedicine: Converting natural biological mechanisms found in marine life directly into clinical treatments, therapeutics, and diagnostic tools for human medicine.
