Aquatic Living Resources

Aquatic Living Resources is an international, English-language journal about the aquatic organisms that people harvest or raise, spanning marine, brackish and freshwater environments from the biology of the exploited species to the economics of the fleets and farms behind them.《水生生物资源》是一份面向国际读者的英文学术期刊，主题是人类捕捞或养殖的水生生物，覆盖海洋、咸淡水与淡水环境，内容从被开发物种的生物学延伸到渔船与养殖场的经济层面。

Published by EDP Sciences from its base at Les Ulis in France, the title carries Ifremer in the Directory of Open Access Journals record as the institution associated with it.刊物由法国莱于利的 EDP Sciences 出版，开放获取期刊目录登记的主办机构为 Ifremer。

It began in 1988 out of a French-language research tradition on inland and marine waters and now appears as a fully open access journal with one continuous volume series each year.该刊 1988 年起步，源自法语界对内陆水体与海洋的研究传统，如今以完全开放获取方式发行，每年一卷且卷号连续。

Scope

• Original research papers, review articles and prospective notes make up the three manuscript categories the journal recognises.原创研究论文、综述文章与前瞻性札记构成该刊承认的三类稿件。

• The resources in view are the ones actually exploited, meaning species taken by capture fisheries or produced through aquaculture.刊物锁定的资源是被实际开发的那一类，也就是捕捞渔业采收或水产养殖培育的物种。

• Marine coasts and shelves, brackish lagoons and estuaries and inland rivers and lakes all fall inside one coverage, so a fish stock and a shellfish bed and a lake fishery can meet in the same issue.海洋岸线与陆架、咸淡水潟湖与河口以及内陆河流与湖泊共享同一覆盖范围，鱼类资源、贝类苗床与湖泊渔业因此可能出现在同一期里。

• The aims give priority to ecosystem-based approaches and treat fisheries and aquaculture as social-ecological systems rather than as simple harvest operations.办刊宗旨把基于生态系统的进路放在首位，将渔业与水产养殖视为社会生态系统，而非单纯的采收作业。

• Biological, ecological, economic and social dimensions are expected to appear together within a single study instead of being split across separate specialisms.一篇研究里通常被要求同时呈现生物、生态、经济与社会四个维度，而不是把它们拆散到各自的专业口径中。

• Work that builds interdisciplinary methods and tools for designing, implementing and testing alternative management strategies is singled out as especially welcome.为备选管理策略的设计、执行与检验开发跨学科方法和工具的成果被明确列为特别受欢迎的投稿。

• Stock assessment, population dynamics and the trophic ecology of fished or farmed species form a steady current through the pages.资源评估、种群动态以及被捕捞或被养殖物种的摄食生态是贯穿全刊的稳定水流。

• Aquaculture enters at the level of production technique, as with studies of stocking-density limits for oyster culture.水产养殖以生产技术的姿态进入，牡蛎养殖的放养密度上限研究即为一例。

• Species introduction and acclimatisation belong to the scope, illustrated by European work on introducing and rearing the paddlefish Polyodon spathula.物种引进与驯化同样在范围之内，欧洲关于匙吻鲟引种与饲养的工作便是佐证。

• Fishing-ground use and vessel activity have been mapped from automatic identification data, establishing where dredge fisheries actually operate at high resolution.渔场利用与船舶活动可以借助自动识别数据来刻画，从而高精度地确定疏浚式采捕渔业真实的作业水域。

• Conservation scenarios and strategies for aquatic biodiversity are solicited alongside the exploitation side rather than kept in a separate environmental journal.水生生物多样性的保护情景与策略与开发利用一侧同时征求，并不被推给另一本环境类刊物。

• Integrated assessment frameworks aimed at sustainable and high-quality uses of living resources close the scope statement and set its practical ambition.面向可持续且高品质利用生物资源的综合评估框架收束了范围声明，也界定了它的实践抱负。

• Freshwater hydrobiology reaches the journal through water-source questions, such as separating endogenous from exogenous origins of spring water feeding a habitat.淡水水生生物学经由水源问题抵达该刊，例如区分滋养生境的泉水之内源与外源成因。

History

• The journal was founded in 1988 and has kept a single volume series since, so volume 14 corresponds to 2001 and volume 30 to 2017.刊物 1988 年创刊，此后维持单一卷次序列，第 14 卷对应 2001 年，第 30 卷对应 2017 年。

• Its first imprint was the French medical and scientific house Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier SAS, whose copyright lines still survive in library cataloguing.创刊期的出版署名是法国 Elsevier 旗下的医学与科学出版机构，其版权行至今留在图书馆编目里。

• Early issues were bilingual in practice, and French-language research articles were still being registered under the journal in 2001.早期刊物实际上双语并用，2001 年仍有法语研究论文登记在该刊名下。

• Print volumes of the Elsevier years ran to at least six parts, with issue 6 of volume 14 dated December 2001.Elsevier 年代的纸质卷至少排到六期，第 14 卷第 6 期的日期落在 2001 年 12 月。

• A change of publisher came in 2004, when EDP Sciences took the title over at Les Ulis and the frequency settled into a quarterly rhythm.出版方于 2004 年更替，EDP Sciences 在莱于利接手，刊期随之稳定为季刊节奏。

• The transfer is legible in the identifiers themselves, with older papers registered under an Elsevier prefix and later work under the EDP Sciences prefix 10.1051.更替在标识符里读得出来，较早的论文登记在 Elsevier 前缀之下，此后的成果改用 EDP Sciences 前缀 10.1051。

• Two serial numbers serve the journal, the print ISSN 0990-7440 and the electronic ISSN 1765-2952.刊物备有两个连续出版物号，纸质为 ISSN 0990-7440，电子为 ISSN 1765-2952。

• Open access grew from partial to complete, and Journal Citation Reports for 2025 record the share of gold open access articles at 100 percent.开放获取由部分走向全部，2025 年期刊引证报告把金色开放获取文章占比记为 100%。

• The Creative Commons BY 4.0 licence noted in the directory record now governs reuse of every paper the journal publishes.目录记录中标明的 Creative Commons BY 4.0 许可管辖该刊此后所有论文的复用。

• Impact factors moved from 1.592 in 2022 to 1.5 in 2023 and then held at 1.9 for both 2024 and 2025.影响因子从 2022 年的 1.592 回落到 2023 年的 1.5，随后 2024 年与 2025 年一并停在 1.9。

• Category placement in 2025 puts the title in the third quartile of FISHERIES at 32 of 63 and in the second quartile of MARINE & FRESHWATER BIOLOGY at 57 of 124.2025 年的类目排位让该刊落在 FISHERIES 第三分位（63 刊中列第 32）与 MARINE & FRESHWATER BIOLOGY 第二分位（124 刊中列第 57）。

• Output stays small and deliberate, with 18 published documents and 1486 total citations in the 2025 report, a Journal Citation Indicator of 0.64 and a percentile of 54.4.发文量小而克制，2025 年报告记录 18 篇文献与 1486 次总被引，期刊引证指标 0.64，百分位 54.4。

• A citation half-life of 16.8 years marks the back file as slow-burning, and the registries hold about 1203 Crossref records against roughly 1485 OpenAlex works.16.8 年的引文半衰期说明存档后劲缓慢而持久，Crossref 收录约 1203 条记录，OpenAlex 一侧约 1485 篇作品。

• Within its publisher's list the journal sits beside an older French freshwater ecology title whose own origin predates 1988 by more than two decades.在同一出版社的书目里，它与一本历史更久的法语淡水生态学期刊相邻，后者的起源比 1988 年早二十余年。

Editors

• Selection criteria are written into the aims themselves, with manuscripts judged on what they add to the sustainable and high-quality use of living aquatic resources.取舍标准直接写进办刊宗旨，稿件按其能否推进可持续且高品质的水生生物资源利用来评判。

• The stated preference for ecosystem-based work shapes first-round triage, and purely descriptive single-species reports face the harder editorial path.宗旨中对生态系统进路的偏好决定了初筛方向，仅描述单一物种的报告在编辑环节较难走通。

• Three article types carry three different editorial burdens, since research papers are assessed on evidence while prospective notes are assessed on argument.三种稿件类型背负三种不同的编辑负担，研究论文凭证据评审，前瞻性札记凭论证评审。

• Every accepted contribution is peer reviewed, a condition reflected in the journal's coverage by SCIE and its listing in the open access directory.凡录用稿件皆经同行评审，SCIE 收录与开放获取目录在册同时印证了这一条件。

• The editorial language is English, and residual French titles in the older register mark the bilingual phase that faded around the publisher change.编辑语言为英文，登记库中残留的法语题名标记出那段在出版方更替前后消退的双语期。

• Reviewers are expected to supply biological, ecological, economic and social expertise together, mirroring the interdisciplinary demand placed on authors.审稿人被期待一并给出生物、生态、经济与社会四类专长，与落在作者身上的跨学科要求相互对应。

• No subscription gate stands in front of accepted work, since publication proceeds under an open licence and the whole 2025 output is recorded as gold open access.录用稿件面前不设订阅门槛，出版依开放许可进行，2025 年全部成果均被记为金色开放获取。

• The directory record carries no article-processing-charge flag for the title, pointing instead to the publisher's own page on publication charges.目录记录未为该刊标注文章处理费，指向的是出版社自设的版面费说明页面。

• Beyond the publisher's catalogue pages the journal maintains a dedicated website under its own name, which has served as the public face for authors.除出版社目录页外，该刊另设有以自身刊名标识的专属网站，长期充当面向作者的公开门户。

• Management relevance is a recurring editorial demand, so authors are asked to spell out what a finding changes for a fishery or an aquaculture operation.管理相关性是反复出现的编辑要求，作者被要求说明一项发现在渔业或水产养殖作业中改变了什么。

• The title has never been renamed, which lets the volume series that opened in 1988 run unbroken and keeps older papers retrievable under one name.该刊从未更名，1988 年开启的卷次因此一脉贯通，旧文在同一刊名下始终可检。

• With annual output measured in tens of papers, editorial capacity is the scarce resource and the scope statement does much of the screening before review begins.年发文量以几十篇计，编辑处理能力成了稀缺资源，范围声明在评审开始前就承担了大半筛选工作。
