African Journal of Marine Science

期刊简介：The African (formerly South African) Journal of Marine Science provides an international forum for the publication of original scientific contributions or critical reviews, involving oceanic, shelf or estuarine waters, inclusive of oceanography, studies of organisms and their habitats, and aquaculture. Papers on the conservation and management of living resources, relevant social science and governance, or new techniques, are all welcomed, as are those that integrate different disciplines. Priority will be given to rigorous, question-driven research, rather than descriptive research. Contributions from African waters, including the Southern Ocean, are particularly encouraged, although not to the exclusion of those from elsewhere that have relevance to the African context. Submissions may take the form of a paper or a short communication. The journal aims to achieve a balanced representation of subject areas but also publishes proceedings of symposia in dedicated issues, as well as guest-edited suites on thematic topics in regular issues.

【译文】非洲（原南非）海洋科学杂志提供了一个国际论坛，用于发表关于海洋、大陆架或河口水域的原创科学贡献或批判性评论，包括海洋学、生物及其栖息地的研究，以及水产养殖。欢迎有关生物资源保护和管理、相关社会科学和治理或新技术的研究论文，以及跨学科整合的研究。优先考虑严谨、以问题为导向的研究，而不是描述性研究。特别鼓励来自非洲水域，包括南大洋的贡献，尽管不排除与非洲背景相关的其他地方的研究。投稿可以是论文或简短通讯。该杂志旨在平衡地代表各个学科领域，但在特定问题中也会出版研讨会论文集，以及在常规问题中出版关于主题主题的特邀编辑系列。
