Focus and Scope

SAGARA: Journal Advancing Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences is a peer-reviewed open-access journal dedicated to the advancement of research in fisheries, aquaculture, and aquatic sciences. The journal serves as a vital platform for researchers, academicians, and professionals to publish original research findings, reviews, and technological innovations related to marine and freshwater environments.

1. Focus

The primary focus of this journal is to promote sustainable practices and scientific understanding of aquatic ecosystems and fisheries resources. It aims to bridge the gap between biological conservation, environmental management, and the practical technologies used in the fisheries industry.

2. Scope

The journal welcomes high-quality original research articles and comprehensive reviews covering (but not limited to) the following scopes:

A. Aquaculture and Fisheries Management

  • Breeding, genetics, and nutrition in aquaculture.
  • Aquatic animal health, disease control, and immunology.
  • Fisheries resources management, stock assessment, and socio-economics of fisheries.

B. Aquatic Biology and Ecology

  • Marine and freshwater ecology, biodiversity, and conservation.
  • Water quality, pollution, and ecotoxicology.
  • Climate change impacts on aquatic ecosystems and blue carbon dynamics.

C. Fisheries Technology and Oceanography

  • Fishing gear technology, vessels, and capture fisheries operations.
  • Post-harvest technology, seafood processing, and food safety.
  • Physical, chemical, and biological oceanography related to fisheries.

By publishing innovative and rigorous scientific works, SAGARA aims to contribute significantly to the sustainable development of global aquatic resources and the prosperity of coastal and fishing communities.
