The inclusion of social science perspectives allows for exploration of human dimensions, including recreational fishing, community engagement, and the socio-economic impacts of fisheries.
Trending and Emerging
- Climate Change Impacts on Fisheries:
There is an increasing emphasis on understanding the effects of climate change on fish populations and ecosystems, reflecting the urgent need for adaptation strategies in fisheries management. - Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in Fisheries:
Research addressing DEI in fisheries science is gaining prominence, highlighting the importance of diverse perspectives and equitable practices within the fisheries community. - Community and Citizen Science Engagement:
The journal shows a growing trend towards involving local communities and citizen scientists in data collection and fisheries management, enhancing public participation and knowledge co-production. - Interdisciplinary Approaches to Fisheries Science:
Emerging studies often adopt interdisciplinary frameworks, integrating social, ecological, and technological dimensions to address complex fisheries issues more holistically. - Innovative Monitoring Technologies:
There is an increasing focus on the application of new technologies, such as environmental DNA (eDNA) and remote sensing, to improve fish monitoring and management practices.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Fisheries Practices:
There appears to be a decrease in research focused solely on traditional fishing practices, as the journal increasingly emphasizes modern management approaches and ecological sustainability. - Single-Species Management Approaches:
Research centered on single-species management is becoming less frequent, reflecting a shift towards ecosystem-based management that considers multi-species interactions and broader ecological contexts. - Generalized Fish Biology Studies:
Studies that provide generalized accounts of fish biology, without specific application to management or conservation, are declining as the journal seeks to publish more targeted, impactful research.
