Aim and Scope

Journal of Hydroecological Systems, Fisheries and Sustainability is an international, peer-reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to advancing scientific knowledge on the structure, function, and sustainable management of aquatic ecosystems. The journal provides a platform for high-quality research addressing freshwater, estuarine, and marine environments with a particular emphasis on ecological processes, fisheries science, and long-term environmental sustainability.

The journal aims to promote interdisciplinary research that integrates hydroecology, environmental sciences, fisheries management, aquatic biodiversity conservation, and ecosystem restoration. It encourages studies that contribute to understanding hydrological dynamics, ecological resilience, species interactions, and the impacts of anthropogenic pressures such as climate change, pollution, overfishing, habitat modification, and water resource exploitation.

The scope of the journal includes, but is not limited to:

• Hydroecology and aquatic ecosystem dynamics

• Freshwater, estuarine, and marine ecology

• Fisheries biology, stock assessment, and sustainable harvest strategies

• Aquaculture systems and environmental impacts

• Biodiversity conservation and ecosystem restoration

• Water quality assessment and pollution management

• Climate change effects on aquatic systems

• Integrated watershed and river basin management

• Ecological modeling and environmental monitoring

• Sustainable policy, governance, and resource management

The journal welcomes original research articles, review papers, short communications, methodological studies, case studies, and policy-oriented analyses that contribute to sustainable aquatic resource management at local, regional, and global scales.

By fostering rigorous scientific discourse and evidence-based solutions, the Journal of Hydroecological Systems, Fisheries and Sustainability seeks to support researchers, policymakers, environmental managers, and practitioners working toward the conservation and responsible utilization of aquatic ecosystems worldwide.
