Aims and Scope

Aims and Scope

Aquatic ecosystems are fundamental to life on Earth. They provide biodiversity, food resources, climate regulation, water purification, and economic livelihoods for millions of people worldwide. However, increasing anthropogenic pressures—including climate change, pollution, overexploitation, habitat destruction, and invasive species—threaten their stability and resilience.

The Journal of Aquatic Biology and Ecology envisions a future in which aquatic ecosystems are understood, protected, and sustainably managed through sound scientific knowledge and integrated ecological approaches. The journal serves as a forum for publishing research that enhances understanding of aquatic organisms, ecosystem processes, biodiversity conservation, and ecological interactions across spatial and temporal scales.

JABE welcomes submissions that:

  • Advance fundamental and applied knowledge in aquatic biology and ecology
  • Address environmental challenges affecting aquatic ecosystems
  • Integrate multidisciplinary perspectives in aquatic sciences
  • Provide solutions for conservation, restoration, and sustainable resource management
  • Translate scientific findings into practical ecological or policy applications

The journal particularly encourages research that bridges biological sciences, environmental management, and ecological sustainability while remaining accessible to a broad scientific readership.
