Journal of Fish Biology

Journal of Fish Biology is the official journal of the Fisheries Society of the British Isles, published by Wiley, and has appeared without interruption since 1969 as a forum for research on fish in marine, estuarine and fresh water.《鱼类生物学杂志》是英国鱼类学会（Fisheries Society of the British Isles）的会刊，由 Wiley 出版，自 1969 年起连续发行，为海洋，河口与淡水环境中的鱼类研究提供论坛。

It covers all aspects of fish biology, their exploitation and their importance to human society, and its 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 1.9 against a five-year value of 2.2.刊物覆盖鱼类生物学的各个方面，兼及鱼类资源的开发利用与其对人类社会的重要性，2025 年影响因子为 1.9，五年影响因子为 2.2。

Scope

• The aims statement is deliberately wide, claiming all aspects of fish biology along with their exploitation and their importance to human society, and it holds the journal to finfish rather than to aquatic life in general.宗旨声明有意写得宽泛，声索鱼类生物学的所有方面，连同鱼类资源的开发与其对人类社会的意义，并把对象限定为鱼类本身，不泛指整个水生生物。

• Marine, estuarine and fresh water systems all fall inside that remit, so a paper on a deep-sea gadoid and a paper on a lowland river cyprinid can sit in the same issue.海洋，河口与淡水三类水体都在收录范围之内，深海鳕形类的研究与低地河流鲤科鱼类的研究可以同期刊出。

• Taxonomy and systematics remain a named strength, with new species descriptions, redescriptions and regional faunal surveys appearing in most volumes.分类学与系统学是刊物明列的强项，新种描述，重新描述与区域性鱼类区系调查几乎每卷都有。

• Morphology, anatomy and development are treated alongside molecular work, and osteology or larval ontogeny papers often carry the descriptive detail that field surveys cannot supply.形态学，解剖学与发育生物学同分子研究并列，骨骼学或仔鱼个体发育的论文常带有野外调查无法提供的描述细节。

• Ecology and distribution form the largest single stream, taking in habitat use, community structure, trophic relations and the shifting ranges that accompany environmental change.生态学与分布构成最大的单一板块，涵盖生境利用，群落结构，营养关系以及随环境变化而移动的分布区。

• Behavioural papers range from schooling and social learning to feeding tactics, spawning behaviour and the responses of fish to noise made by human activity.行为学论文从集群与社群学习延伸到摄食策略，产卵行为以及鱼类对人为噪声的反应。

• Physiology covers respiration, osmoregulation, thermal tolerance, swimming performance and endocrine control, often set against climate warming or hypoxic water.生理学涵盖呼吸，渗透压调节，耐热性，游泳能力与内分泌调控，常置于气候变暖或缺氧水体的背景之中。

• Genetics and population studies address stock structure, phylogeography, pedigree reconstruction and the genomic basis of local adaptation in wild and cultured stocks.遗传学与种群研究处理种群结构，谱系地理学，系谱重建以及野生与养殖种群中局域适应的基因组基础。

• Growth, age determination, maturity schedules and life-history variation are regular fare, since those quantities underlie both stock assessment and conservation planning.生长，年龄鉴定，性成熟进程与生活史变异属于常设内容，这些量既是渔业资源评估的基础，也是保护规划的依据。

• Disease, immunology and parasitology have a constituency of their own, with papers on pathogen surveys, immune gene expression and host-parasite dynamics in wild and farmed fish.疾病，免疫与寄生虫学自有其读者群，论文涉及病原调查，免疫基因表达以及野生与养殖鱼类中的宿主与寄生虫关系。

• Aquaculture is treated as applied fish biology, taking in broodstock management, larval rearing, nutrition, welfare and the genetic improvement of cultured strains.水产养殖被当作应用鱼类生物学处理，内容包括亲鱼管理，苗种培育，营养，福利以及养殖品系的遗传改良。

• Pollution impacts and toxicology enter through work on contaminants, microplastics, acidification and the sublethal endpoints that link exposure to population change.污染影响与毒理学经由污染物，微塑料，酸化以及把暴露与种群变化联系起来的亚致死指标进入范围。

• Migration and movement ecology lean increasingly on telemetry, otolith chemistry and tagging, and the journal publishes both the methods and the field results they make possible.洄游与运动生态学日益倚重遥测，耳石化学与标记放流，刊物既收方法学论文，也收这些方法带来的野外结果。

• Fisheries science and conservation sit at the applied end, where stock assessment, bycatch questions and the status of exploited species meet the stated interest in human use.渔业科学与保护处于应用一端，资源评估，副渔获问题与开发种群的状态在此与刊物明示的人类利用关切相接。

• Article types run from full papers and brief communications to review articles and the special issues that gather the proceedings of the society's annual symposium.文章类型从全文与简报延伸到综述，以及汇集学会年度研讨会论文的专辑。

History

• The first volume appeared in 1969 under the imprint of Academic Press in London and New York, published for the Fisheries Society of the British Isles.首卷于 1969 年问世，由 Academic Press 在伦敦与纽约印行，出版方为英国鱼类学会。

• Its founding prospectus promised to gather current research under one cover and to give fish biologists in different disciplines a means of international communication.创刊说明承诺把分散的研究汇于一册，并为不同学科的鱼类生物学家提供国际交流的渠道。

• The society behind it is a registered British charity, number 256475, affiliated to the Royal Society of Biology, and the journal is its principal publication.主办学会是注册的英国慈善机构，编号 256475，隶属 Royal Society of Biology，该刊为其主要出版物。

• Blackwell Publishing of Oxford took over production from 2003, a transfer the National Library of Medicine records in the imprint of its catalogue entry.牛津的 Blackwell Publishing 自 2003 年起接手出版，美国国家医学图书馆的书目记录在出版项中留下了这次交接。

• Wiley absorbed Blackwell in 2007, and the title has been carried by Wiley since then, with Crossref listing the publisher as Wiley (Blackwell Publishing).Wiley 于 2007 年并购 Blackwell，此后该刊由 Wiley 承接，Crossref 以 Wiley (Blackwell Publishing) 的复合名称登记出版方。

• Issue output grew with the field, and the title now runs three volumes of six issues within a calendar year, its continuous numbering having passed the hundredth volume.刊期随学科扩张而增加，如今每个日历年出三个卷、每卷六期，连续卷号已越过第一百卷。

• A 2008 assessment placed the journal among the hundred most influential titles in biology and medicine of the preceding century, a claim the society still repeats.2008 年的一项评选把该刊列入此前一百年间生物学与医学最具影响力的百种期刊，学会至今仍在自己页面上重述这一说法。

• Bibliographic coverage widened in stages, PubMed taking the title from July 1997 and MEDLINE indexing it in full from January 2009.书目收录分阶段扩大，PubMed 自 1997 年 7 月起收录，MEDLINE 自 2009 年 1 月起全文索引。

• Each volume has generally carried five regular issues and one special issue, the special one often holding the papers of the annual symposium.每卷一般含五期常规号与一期专辑，专辑常刊载年度研讨会的论文。

• Access is hybrid, subscription content sitting beside papers published open, and 40.65 per cent of the 2025 output appeared under gold open access.获取方式属混合型，订阅内容与开放获取论文并存，2025 年有 40.65% 的论文以金色开放获取形式发表。

• Printing ended with the 2024 volume, and from 2025 the journal is published online only, a change the publisher attributes to the environmental cost of print distribution.印刷版止于 2024 年卷，自 2025 年起改为纯在线出版，出版社把这一变动归于纸本印制与发行的环境代价。

• Citation figures for 2025 give 1.9 against 2.0 in 2024, a five-year impact factor of 2.2, a journal citation indicator of 0.64 and 17,062 citations with a half-life of 14.6 years.2025 年的引文数据为 1.9，2024 年为 2.0，五年影响因子 2.2，期刊引文指标 0.64，总被引 17062 次，引用半衰期 14.6 年。

• Category placement is FISHERIES at 32nd of 63 in Q3 and MARINE & FRESHWATER BIOLOGY at 57th of 124 in Q2.类目归属为 FISHERIES 一档 Q3，在 63 种期刊中列第 32 位，MARINE & FRESHWATER BIOLOGY 一档 Q2，在 124 种期刊中列第 57 位。

Editors

• Michel Kaiser, Professor of Fisheries Conservation at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, holds the post of editor-in-chief.主编为赫瑞瓦特大学（Heriot-Watt University）渔业保护学教授 Michel Kaiser。

• His own work concerns the effects of fishing on benthic habitats and on the structure of exploited fish communities, which keeps the applied end of the journal close to the editorial desk.他本人的研究关注捕捞对底栖生境与开发鱼类群落结构的影响，刊物的应用一端因此紧贴编辑桌面。

• Two senior editors share the load, Nick Graham of Lancaster University and Kath Sloman of the University of the West of Scotland.两位高级编辑分担日常裁决，分别是兰卡斯特大学（Lancaster University）的 Nick Graham 与西苏格兰大学（University of the West of Scotland）的 Kath Sloman。

• Below them sits an assistant editor corps of several dozen, spread over Britain, continental Europe, North America, South America, Africa, Asia and Australia.其下是数十人的助理编辑队伍，分布于英国，欧洲大陆，北美，南美，非洲，亚洲与澳大利亚。

• The list reads as a subject map, with named specialists in taxonomy, parasitology, physiology, aquaculture, elasmobranch biology and small-scale fisheries.这份名单近于一张学科地图，分类学，寄生虫学，生理学，水产养殖，板鳃类生物学与小规模渔业各有专人在列。

• Each entry carries an institutional address and an email, so an author can see who is likely to handle a submission before it is sent.每位编委条目都附机构地址与电子邮箱，作者在投稿之前即可看出稿件可能落到谁手中。

• Reading access follows membership, since members register on the Wiley society platform and receive the journal without further charge.阅读权随会员身份而来，会员在 Wiley 的学会平台上注册后即可免费阅读该刊。

• Editorial direction keeps descriptive ichthyology in view, and regional faunas, range extensions and first records still find a home when they are properly documented.编辑取向仍为描述性鱼类学留出位置，区域性鱼类区系，分布区扩展与首次记录只要记录扎实，仍可在刊物落脚。
