Fisheries Acoustics and Marine Science Technology

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, fisheries acoustics has been directly used to investigate underwater fish migration and behavioral characteristics by using optic and acoustic techniques. Optic techniques, having a rather narrow detection range, are suitable for observing the location and behaviors of fish. Additionally, fisheries acoustics and engineering have advanced greatly with the development of new technologies and are actively used in fisheries as assessment tools. Accordingly, the current domestic and international research trend regarding the fish density and behavioral patterns is the use of acoustic techniques in combination with the use of existing direct collection results. This Special Issue is expected to comprise excellent research results in fisheries engineering technology, and thus we invite scientists to submit original research papers on fisheries acoustics, fishing gear engineering, aquaculture engineering, fishing vessel safety, fishery resource management and data analysis, and fisheries equipment technology. We hope that this Special Issue will make a noteworthy contribution to promote further developments in marine science technology.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
