Author Guidelines
1. SUBMISSION
Free format submission
Aquaculture Research now offers free format submission for a simplified and streamlined submission process.
Before you submit, you will need:
Your manuscript: this can be a single file including text, figures, and tables, or separate files – whichever you prefer. All required sections should be contained in your manuscript, including abstract, introduction, methods, results, and conclusions. Figures and tables should have legends. References may be submitted in any style or format, as long as it is consistent throughout the manuscript. Supporting information should be supplied in separate files. If the manuscript, figures or tables are difficult for you to read, they will also be difficult for the editors and reviewers. If your manuscript is difficult to read, the editorial office may send it back to you for revision.
The title page of the manuscript, including statements relating to our ethics and integrity policies:
data availability statement
funding statement
conflict of interest disclosure
ethics approval statement
patient consent statement
permission to reproduce material from other sources
clinical trial registration
(Why is this important? We need to uphold rigorous ethical standards for the research we consider for publication.)
Your co-author details, including affiliation and email address. (Why is this important? We need to keep all co-authors informed of the outcome of the peer review process.)
An ORCID ID, freely available at https://orcid.org. (Why is this important? Your article, if accepted and published, will be attached to your ORCID profile. Institutions and funders are increasingly requiring authors to have ORCID IDs.)
To submit, login at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/are and create a new submission. Follow the submission steps as required and submit the manuscript.
If you are invited to revise your manuscript after peer review, the journal will also request the revised manuscript to be formatted according to journal requirements as described below.
Authors should kindly note that submission implies that the content has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere except as a brief abstract in the proceedings of a scientific meeting or symposium.

2. AIMS AND SCOPE
International in perspective, Aquaculture Research is published 12 times a year and specifically addresses research and reference needs of all working and studying within the many varied areas of aquaculture. The Journal regularly publishes papers on applied or scientific research relevant to freshwater, brackish, and marine aquaculture. It covers all aquatic organisms, floristic and faunistic, related directly or indirectly to human consumption. The journal also includes review article, short communication and technical papers. Young scientists are particularly encouraged to submit short communications based on their own research.
3. MANUSCRIPT CATEGORIES AND REQUIREMENTS
Original Article: Generally original articles are based upon hypothesis-driven research describing a single study or several related studies constituting a single project. Descriptive studies are allowed providing that they include novel information and/or scholarly insight that contributes to advancement of the state of information on a given scientific topic.
Review Article: Review articles are welcome and should contain not only an up-to-date review of scientific literature but also substantial scholarly interpretation of extant published literature. Compilations of scientific literature without interpretation leading to new insights or recommendations for new research directions will be returned to the author without review.
Short Communication: These should differ from full papers on the basis of scope or completeness, rather than quality of research. They may report significant new data arising from problems with narrow, well defined limits, or important findings that warrant rapid publication before broader studies are complete. Their text should neither exceed 1500 words (approximately six pages of typescript) excluding keywords, tables and references, nor be divided up into conventional sections. An abstract will be required on submission, but this is for informing potential reviewers and will not be part of the Short Communication. When submitting a Short Communication, authors should make it clear that their work is to be treated as such.
4. PREPARING THE SUBMISSION

Parts of the Manuscript

Main Text File

ii. A short running title of less than 40 characters;
iii. The full names of the authors;

Results
Discussion
vii. Acknowledgements;
viii. Data Availability Statement
ix. References;
x. Tables (each table complete with title and footnotes);
xi. Figure legends;
xii. Appendices (if relevant).
Please note that figures and supporting information should be submitted as separate files. No figures should be submitted as part of the body of text. Please note that manuscripts that do not comply by these guidelines may be sent back to the Author Centre for amendments.
Authorship
Please refer to the journal’s Authorship policy in the Editorial Policies and Ethical Considerations section for details on author listing eligibility.
Acknowledgements
Contributions from anyone who does not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed, with permission from the contributor, in an Acknowledgments section. Financial and material support should also be mentioned. Thanks to anonymous reviewers are not appropriate.
Data Availability Statement
Authors are required to provide a data availability statement to describe the availability or the absence of shared data. When data have been shared, authors are required to include in their data availability statement a link to the repository they have used, and to cite the data they have shared.
Conflict of Interest Statement
Authors will be asked to provide a conflict of interest statement during the submission process. For details on what to include in this section, see the ‘Conflict of Interest’ section in the Editorial Policies and Ethical Considerations section below. Submitting authors should ensure they liaise with all co-authors to confirm agreement with the final statement.
Abstract
Please provide an abstract of no more than 200 words containing the major keywords.
Keywords
Please provide between 4-6 keywords.
References
References should be prepared according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th edition). This means in text citations should follow the author-date method whereby the author's last name and the year of publication for the source should appear in the text, for example, (Jones, 1998). The use of et al is determined by the number of authors and whether it is the first time a reference has been cited in the paper:
articles with one or two authors include all names in every in-text citation;
articles with three, four, or five authors include all names in the first in-text citation but are abbreviated to the first author name plus et al. upon subsequent citations;
articles with six or more authors are abbreviated to the first author name plus et al. for all in-text citations.
The complete reference list should appear alphabetically by name at the end of the paper. A sample of the most common entries in reference lists appears below. Please note that a DOI should be provided for all references where available. For more information about APA referencing style, please refer to the APA FAQ. Please note that for journal articles, issue numbers are not included unless each issue in the volume begins with page one.

Figures submitted in colour may be reproduced in colour online free of charge. Please note, however, that it is preferable that line figures (e.g. graphs and charts) are supplied in black and white so that they are legible if printed by a reader in black and white. If an author would prefer to have figures printed in colour in hard copies of the journal, a fee will be charged by the Publisher (please click here for further details).
