Aquaculture
Aquaculture is an international journal devoted to research on the exploration, improvement, and management of all aquatic food resources. Barry Costa-Pierce, Rhode Island Sea Grant director, is the editor of the Husbandry and Management section, which has produced two special editions, one in October 2003 on “Management of Aquaculture Effluents,” guest-edited by Cheng-Sheng Lee and Patricia J. O’Bryen, and one in March 2006 on “Seaweed-based Integrated Mariculture,” guest-edited by Rui Santos. The Husbandry and Management section of the journal reviewed more than 400 research manuscript submissions in 2005. In early 2006 the journal moved to a new on-line, web-based manuscript submittal and review system, which will improve, as well as shorten, the scientific peer review process for authors.
