New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research is a quarterly aquatic-science journal owned by Royal Society Te Apārangi, the country's national academy, and published by Wiley from 2026 after a long run with Taylor & Francis. It began in 1967 and covers marine, estuarine and freshwater research with a Southern Hemisphere accent, and its 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 1.9, which places it Q2 at 57 of 124 in marine and freshwater biology.《新西兰海洋与淡水研究杂志》由新西兰皇家学会（Royal Society Te Apārangi）所有，2026 年起由 Wiley 出版，此前长期由 Taylor & Francis 代理。该刊 1967 年创刊，刊登海洋、河口与淡水研究，重心在南半球，2025 年影响因子为 1.9，在海洋与淡水生物学类目列 Q2，排名 57/124。

Scope

• The stated remit takes in observational, experimental, theoretical and numerical work on the marine, estuarine and freshwater environments of the southern continents and their surrounding oceans, a span running from mountain streams to the open Southern Ocean.宗旨覆盖南半球各大陆及其周边海域的海洋、河口与淡水环境，观测、实验、理论与数值四类研究都在其中，范围从山间溪流一直延伸到南大洋开阔水域。
• Geography carries weight in the editorial calculus. Work on New Zealand and its exclusive economic zone sits at the centre, while submissions from Oceania, South America, Antarctica, the Pacific islands and the Southern Ocean are given particular welcome.地理取向在选稿中占分量，新西兰及其专属经济区的研究居于核心，来自大洋洲、南美、南极、太平洋岛屿与南大洋的稿件尤其受欢迎。
• Fisheries science is a mainstay, covering stock assessment, age-based life histories read from otoliths, harvest strategies for inshore species and the population models that turn catch and survey records into management advice.渔业科学是支柱板块，资源评估，依据耳石判读的年龄与生活史，近岸种群的采捕策略，以及把渔获与调查记录转成管理建议的种群模型，都在其中。
• Aquaculture papers deal with mussel spat supply and reef rebuilding, pāua and other native shellfish, finfish grow-out in tilapia and salmonids, aeration and stocking density, and formulated feeds carrying amino acid supplements.水产养殖论文涉及贻贝苗种供应与礁体重建，黑脚鲍（pāua）等本地贝类，罗非鱼与鲑科鱼类的养成，增氧与放养密度，以及添加氨基酸的配合饲料。
• Estuarine and coastal work ranges over sedimentation in anthropogenically altered inlets, eighty years of shoreline erosion and accretion, harbour water quality, and the hydrodynamics that tie a catchment to the sea.河口与海岸研究涵盖受人类活动改变的入海口沉积过程，八十年尺度的岸线侵蚀与淤积，港湾水质，以及把集水区与海洋连起来的水动力过程。
• Freshwater limnology and hydrology take in lake water quality and trophic state, stormwater contaminants such as plastics reaching Lake Rotorua, stream flow regimes, and the national datasets used to describe fish communities and their β diversity.淡水湖沼学与水文学包括湖水水质与营养状态，随雨水管进入罗托鲁瓦湖的塑料等污染物，河流流量情势，以及用于描述鱼类群落与 β 多样性的全国数据集。
• Algal ecology appears on both sides of the salt line, from macroalgal restoration and seagrass meadows to the phytoplankton and cyanobacterial assemblages that drive lake trophic assessment and the risk of blooms.藻类生态横跨咸淡水两侧，从大型藻类修复与海草床，到支撑湖泊营养状态评价与藻华风险判断的浮游植物和蓝细菌群落。
• Invertebrate biology and taxonomy keep a steady presence, with new species described from the subantarctic islands, shell growth in invasive snails, drill-hole repair in deep-sea brachiopods and the ecology of bioeroding sponges.无脊椎动物生物学与分类学稳定占位，亚南极群岛的新种描述，入侵螺类的壳体生长，深海腕足动物钻孔的修复，以及钻孔海绵的生态，均有收录。
• Fish biology covers native galaxiids and eels, the contested place of introduced salmonids, age and growth of reef species such as surgeonfish and parrotfish, and survey work on what the public makes of freshwater fish.鱼类生物学涉及本地南乳鱼与鳗鲡，外来鲑科鱼类颇具争议的地位，刺尾鱼与鹦嘴鱼等礁鱼的年龄和生长，以及公众如何看待淡水鱼的调查。
• Biosecurity and invasion biology run through the journal, from apple snails and the Asian paddle crab to management scenarios for trout, risk assessment for new introductions and surveillance in ports and marinas.生物安全与入侵生物学贯穿全刊，从福寿螺与亚洲梭子蟹，到鳟鱼的管理情景，新引入物种的风险评估，以及港口与游艇码头的监测。
• Restoration and protection form a growing strand. Kelp and mussel reef rebuilding, urchin removal treated as a tool rather than a remedy, seagrass transplanting and the siting questions that surround marine protected areas all appear in recent volumes.修复与保护构成日渐壮大的一支，海带场与贻贝礁重建，把海胆清除当作手段而非终点，海草移植，以及海洋保护区选址所牵涉的取舍，近几卷均有讨论。
• Physical oceanography and marine geology remain in scope, from underwater sound propagation and sediment texture to the fracture zones of the southwest Pacific, coastal accretion and the ocean acidification agenda set out by the research community.物理海洋学与海洋地质仍在范围之内，从水下声传播与沉积物结构，到西南太平洋的断裂带，海岸淤积，以及研究共同体提出的海洋酸化议程。
• Methodologically the journal favours long series and hard-won field data: decades of monitoring, tag and recapture, otolith microchemistry, stable isotopes, environmental DNA, and remote sensing paired with machine learning for seagrass mapping.方法上偏爱长序列与难得的野外数据，数十年的监测记录，标记重捕，耳石微化学，稳定同位素，环境 DNA，以及与机器学习配合用于海草制图的遥感。
• Article types follow the habit of the field: original research papers, review papers, short communications, book reviews, letters and forum articles, the last of these leaving room for argued positions on contested management questions.栏目沿用同类刊物的惯例，原创研究论文，综述，短通讯，书评，读者来信与论坛文章，最后一类为有争议的管理问题留出论辩空间。

History

• The first volume opened in March 1967 under the Royal Society of New Zealand, which had taken on the task of giving the country's marine and freshwater workers a journal of their own.第 1 卷第 1 期于 1967 年 3 月问世，主办方是新西兰皇家学会，该学会当时承担起为本国海洋与淡水研究者办一份自家刊物的任务。
• Early issues mixed disciplines that later specialisation pulled apart. The Antipodes Fracture Zone, sound channels around New Zealand, the texture of Wellington Harbour sediments, laboratory rearing of spiny lobster larvae, gastroliths in freshwater crayfish and the freshwater fishes of the Chatham Islands all appeared within the first volumes.早期各期把后来分道扬镳的学科混编在一起，安蒂波德斯断裂带，新西兰周边的声道，惠灵顿港沉积物的结构，龙虾幼体的实验室培育，淡水螯虾的胃石，以及查塔姆群岛的淡水鱼类，都出现在头几卷。
• Volume numbering has run without a break. Four issues to a volume is the normal pattern, and the arithmetic is plain: the 2026 subscription carries volume 60, fifty-nine years after volume 1.卷号自此连续不断，多数年份每卷四期，算术也对得上，2026 年的订阅对应第 60 卷，距第 1 卷已五十九年。
• Quarterly publication has been the rule, though lean years combined two numbers into one part, as in 1971, 1972, 1982 and 1992, when issues 3 and 4 or issues 1 and 2 were printed together.季刊是长期规矩，印量少的年份会把两期合为一册，1971 年，1972 年，1982 年与 1992 年都出现过第 3 期与第 4 期合并，或第 1 期与第 2 期合并的情形。
• The society published from its own office in Wellington for decades, and the imprint RSNZ Publishing at PO Box 598 still appears as the correspondence address in the abstracting records of that period.数十年间由学会在惠灵顿的自家机构出版，RSNZ Publishing 与 PO Box 598 这一通信地址，至今仍留在那个时期的文摘记录里。
• Taylor & Francis then took over production and hosting, and every article from volume 1 to volume 59 carries the DOI stem 10.1080/00288330, which is the mark of that arrangement.随后由 Taylor & Francis 承接制作与托管，第 1 卷至第 59 卷的每篇文章都带 10.1080/00288330 这一 DOI 词干，成为那段安排的印记。
• The break came with volume 60. From January 2026 the articles sit under the 10.1002 prefix with a fresh identifier stem, the Crossref publisher field reads Wiley, and the full text runs on a Wiley Online Library site named for the society.转折出现在第 60 卷。2026 年 1 月起，文章改挂 10.1002 前缀并启用新的 DOI 词干，Crossref 的出版方字段记为 Wiley，全文发布在以学会命名的 Wiley Online Library 站点上。
• Taylor & Francis announced the move on its own pages, which state that the society's titles, among them the Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand and the New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, will be published by Wiley from 2026.Taylor & Francis 在自己的页面上公布了这次移交，写明学会旗下的数种刊物，包括《新西兰皇家学会杂志》与《新西兰地质与地球物理杂志》，自 2026 年起改由 Wiley 出版。
• Volume 59 closed the old arrangement with an unusual fifth issue in 2025, a fuller year than the four-issue volumes on either side of it.第 59 卷为旧安排收尾，2025 年多出一个第 5 期，比前后各卷的四期更厚。
• Ownership never moved. The journal belongs to Royal Society Te Apārangi, the national academy, and its editorial office answers at publish@royalsociety.org.nz, the address printed in editorial recruitment notices.归属始终未变。刊物属于国家级学会新西兰皇家学会（Royal Society Te Apārangi），编辑部以 publish@royalsociety.org.nz 应答，这一地址印在编辑招募公告里。
• Access is hybrid. Subscriptions still carry the journal, authors may pay for open publication, and Clarivate records the gold open access share of 2025 output at 22.41 per cent.获取方式为混合模式，订阅仍是主要渠道，作者也可付费开放出版，Clarivate 记录 2025 年发文的金色开放获取比例为 22.41%。
• Impact factors have moved in a narrow band. The 2021 figure was 1.842, 2022 brought 1.677, 2023 fell to 1.4, and the series recovered through 1.7 in 2024 to 1.9 in 2025, with a five-year value of 1.9 and a JCI of 0.54.影响因子在窄区间内起落，2021 年为 1.842，2022 年为 1.677，2023 年降至 1.4，此后回升，2024 年为 1.7，2025 年为 1.9，五年影响因子 1.9，JCI 为 0.54。
• Category placement is split. Clarivate puts the journal Q2 at 57 of 124 in marine and freshwater biology, Q3 at 32 of 63 in fisheries and Q3 at 42 of 67 in oceanography, on 2247 citations to a body of roughly 28 articles a year.分区并不齐整，海洋与淡水生物学列 Q2，排名 57/124，渔业列 Q3，排名 32/63，海洋学列 Q3，排名 42/67，全年被引 2247 次，年发文约 28 篇。
• The archive is complete in Crossref, 3277 backfile records beside 182 current ones, and a cited half-life of 17.9 years says the older papers are still being read.Crossref 中的存档完整，过刊记录 3277 条，现刊 182 条，17.9 年的引用半衰期说明旧文仍被翻阅。

Editors

• The masthead is headed by a senior editor, Candida Savage of the University of Otago, whose own research sits in estuarine and coastal ecology.编头由一位资深编辑领衔，即奥塔哥大学的（Candida Savage），其本人的研究在河口与海岸生态。
• Associate editors are drawn from the country's marine and freshwater institutions: Andrea C Alfaro at Auckland University of Technology, Steve Bird at Waikato, Joanne Clapcott at the Cawthron Institute, Neill Herbert at Auckland, Miles Lamare at Otago, Sebastian Naeher at GNS Science and Deniz Özkundakci at Waikato Regional Council.副编辑来自本国的海洋与淡水机构，（Andrea C Alfaro）在奥克兰理工大学，（Steve Bird）在怀卡托大学，（Joanne Clapcott）在考思伦研究所，（Neill Herbert）在奥克兰大学，（Miles Lamare）在奥塔哥大学，（Sebastian Naeher）在 GNS Science，（Deniz Özkundakci）在怀卡托地区委员会。
• The list is a working spread rather than a ceremonial one. Shellfish and finfish aquaculture, fish physiology, freshwater ecology, marine invertebrates, isotope and palaeoenvironmental geochemistry and lake management each have a named editor behind them.这份名单属于干活的班底，礼仪性成分很少，贝类与鱼类养殖，鱼类生理，淡水生态，海洋无脊椎动物，同位素与古环境地球化学，湖泊管理，背后都有具名编辑。
• Recruitment runs in the open. The 2025 round closed on 7 June, and candidates were judged on a live publication record and on a working international network rather than on seniority alone.招募公开进行。2025 年那一轮于 6 月 7 日截止，评审看持续的发表记录与可用的国际学术网络，资历并非唯一尺度。
• The advertisement named the fields it wanted: ecology, aquaculture and fisheries, genetics, biodiversity, invasion biology, physical oceanography, limnology, hydrology, aquatic biotechnology, aquatic chemistry and the physiology of aquatic organisms.招募公告列出所需方向，生态学，水产养殖与渔业，遗传学，生物多样性，入侵生物学，物理海洋学，湖沼学，水文学，水生生物技术，水生化学与水生生物生理学。
• An associate editor carries about five manuscripts a year from assignment through to final decision, a load small enough for people who still run their own field programmes.一位副编辑每年经手约五篇稿件，从送审到终审都由其负责，这样的负荷让仍在跑野外项目的人也能承担。
• Terms run two years and may be renewed for two more by mutual agreement, and each editor is expected to publish at least one paper in the journal during the appointment.任期为两年，双方商定后可续两年，任内每位编辑需在本刊至少发表一篇论文。
• The duties reach past manuscript handling. Editors propose special issues, guest-edit them, speak for the journal at conferences, and advise on scope and on awkward cases in publication ethics.职责不止处理稿件，编辑要提出专刊选题，担任客座编辑，在学术会议上代表刊物，并就范围与棘手的出版伦理问题提供意见。
• A first Early-Career Editorial Board was opened alongside the 2025 round, giving doctoral graduates and postdoctoral researchers a seat in decisions about the journal's direction.2025 年同期还组建了首届早期职业编辑委员会，让博士毕业生与博士后参与刊物方向的讨论。
• Special issues have become a common vehicle, with guest editors taken from the fields a theme touches, and the theme itself settled by the associate editor who proposes it.专刊是常见载体，客座编辑从选题涉及的领域里选聘，主题则由提出方案的副编辑确定。
• Manuscripts are matched to an editor with the relevant speciality, and that editor selects the referees and signs the decision, an arrangement that suits a field where reviewers are few and busy.稿件交给方向对口的编辑，由其挑选审稿人并作出决定，这样的安排适合审稿人稀少而忙碌的领域。
• Correspondence and review administration pass through the society's publishing office rather than a commercial address, and submissions in the Taylor & Francis years went through the ScholarOne system the publisher hosted for the society.通信与审稿事务由学会的出版办公室经办，不经商业机构，Taylor & Francis 时期的投稿则经由出版方为学会托管的 ScholarOne 系统。
