Journal of Northwest Atlantic Fishery Science

The Journal of Northwest Atlantic Fishery Science publishes peer-reviewed papers that reflect NAFO’s objectives of sustainable fisheries management and conservation. The Journal focuses on the Northwest Atlantic Ocean but also welcomes contributions of general applicability to fisheries science. Emphasis is placed on environmental, biological, economic and social science aspects of fisheries and their interactions with marine habitats and ecosystems.

Popular topics include:

Scientific symposia sponsored by NAFO or in collaboration with other international scientific fisheries organizations, like the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) are published in special volumes of the Journal.
