Special Journal Issue on Ancestral Fishes
The Journal of Ichthyology is planning a special issue entitled “Primitive fishes: scientific, cultural, and commercial importance.” Sturgeon and paddlefish papers are welcome! The special issue aims to provide an overview of the current knowledge of primitive fishes with respect to 1) evolution, phylogeny, phylogeography, and molecular biology; 2) taxonomy and zoogeography; 3) ecology and life history; 4) harvesting, stock assessment, and fisheries management; 5) physiology; 6) artificial propagation and aquaculture; and 7) conservation and stock rebuilding.
Manuscripts should be submitted online at https://publish.sciencejournals.ru/login by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, you can access the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline (1 May, 2022). Research articles, review articles and short communications are invited. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts are available on the Instructions for Authors page (https://www.pleiades.online/ru/journal/ichth/authors-instructions/). All papers submitted to this issue and accepted will be published free of charge. If you are interested in submitting to this issue, please email Dr. Alexei Orlov (orlov@vniro.ru ) with the following information: tentative title; list of potential co-authors with affiliations; short description of the paper (abstract); approximate number of pages; possible date of submission.
