marine biology, including marine fisheries, mariculture, oceanography, climate, socio-
economics, and livelihoods. The journal covers diverse topics such as marine plankton,
nekton, benthos, corals, and coral reefs; ecology, zoogeography, and systematics; primary
production and experimental ecosystem studies, including energy flow at different trophic
levels; population dynamics, stock assessment, and theoretical models; matter recycling and

journal also welcomes contributions on modifications in methodology and techniques, the
development of new apparatus related to marine sciences, and any emerging areas in marine
science.
