This is a scientific journal reporting on research in aquatic disciplines related to fisheries.<br /> Research papers on fisheries /aquaculture and fishery-related subjects will be considered for publication. All material submitted must be original and unpublished. Three categories of papers are considered for publication: “Original research,”, “Short communications,” and “Reviews.”<br />Topics of interest to the journal include new information on various animal and plant species related to fisheries and aquaculture. Specific areas of interest include aquatic ecosystems, methods of propagation and culture of high value aquatic resources, pollution and its effect on the environment and aquatic species, nutrition, health and diseases of aquatic species, research on fish processing and production of new products, protection of recovering stocks and sustainable exploitation of living resources, and finally the economic and social aspects of fisheries.<br /><br />All articles are Open Access and are immediately available online at no cost to read, distribute, and/or reuse.<br />Expert reviewers will evaluate the articles submitted to the journal. While the objective of the peer review process is to ensure high quality science, peer reviewers do not make the final decision to accept or reject papers for publication. The decision-making authority rests solely with the journal editor and the journal’s editorial board. The journal decision-making process includes the following steps:</p> <ol> <li>Registration on the Journal’s website by the corresponding author and providing the full affiliation of all authors. Submission of the paper in proper format is required.</li> <li>After a paper is submitted to the journal, the Journal’s editor and/or a member of the editorial board will screen the manuscript and decide whether or not to send it for full peer review. At this stage the paper may also be returned to the author for reformatting or other corrections to meet the minimum requirements of the Journal.</li> <li>After clearing the initial screening up to three peer reviewers are allocated to review the manuscript. The editor or a member of the editorial board may also review the manuscript.</li> <li>The peer review is a double-blind process, which means that both the reviewers and authors identities are concealed throughout the review process.</li> <li>The Journal’s editor considers the peer reviewers’ reports, along with the evaluation form (completed by the reviewers), and makes a final decision as follows:</li> </ol> <p>a. If at least two reviewers recommend to rejection, the editor may reject the paper at this stage. <br /> b. If at least one reviewer requests a major correction, the paper is sent back to the author to provide corrections and/or appropriate responses to the reviewer’s comments.<br />c. If any of the reviewers decline to review the paper, or do not send their response about the paper within the predefined period of time, then another reviewer will be assigned by the editor.<br />6. As soon as the corrected version of the paper along with the responses to the reviewers’ comments are submitted to the journal (normally within 2 weeks), they will be checked by the editor and sent to one of the reviewers for final consideration and recommendation.<br />7. Based on the full peer review process outlined above the final decision is made by the editorial board.<br />8. A formal letter of acceptance is issued by the Journal’s office for the accepted papers.<br />9. The papers are published in the journal based on a “first come, first served” policy.</p> https://sifisheriessciences.com/index.php/journal/article/view/2638 Seasonal Variations And Zooplankton Diversity From Mangroves Area, Kakinada District, Andhra Pradesh 2024-04-25T11:43:43+00:00 Yandamuri Ayyanna huzaifamehmoodshah@gmail.com Alavala Matta Reddy martinamaharabam13@gmail.com Pangi Vijaya Nirmala vijayanirmala.p@aknu.edu.in <p>In the present study, the zooplankton diversity and distribution was studied in relation to seasonal variation in the mangrove area, Kakinada District, Andhra Pradesh. Samples were seasonally collected (i.e., monsoon: July-2013 and monsoon: June-2014). A total of 8 groups zooplankton were recorded during this study period. A total of 8 groups of zooplankton belonging to different species were identified. Copepod was found to be the most dominant group and it contributed more than 85% of the total zooplankton collected in this study. Second abundant group Molluscan veligers followed by Chaetognathes, Adult crustaceans, Decapods larvae, Polychaete larvae, Fish eggs and larvae and Cirripede nauplii. The results of present study help to develop an understanding on the zooplankton distribution in mangrove areas, which will form a reliable tool in bio-monitoring studies.</p> 2024-04-25T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of Survey in Fisheries Sciences https://sifisheriessciences.com/index.php/journal/article/view/2409 Harnessing the Health Benefits of Pulses (Fabaceae): Pulses (Fabaceae) Nutrient Contents & Phytochemical Composition. 2024-03-29T09:56:55+00:00 Iqra Bibi Ammadkundi3222@gmail.com Muhammad Adnan Hussain Ammadkundi3222@gmail.com Muhammad Ammad Abu Bakkar Ammadkundi3222@gmail.com Abdul Jabbar aj2981023@gmail.com Shumaila Khan skhan.asab@asab.nust.edu.pk Khansa Amber ambi.khankhail@gmail.com Zunaira Naeem zunairanaeem25@gmail.com Anam Fatima anamfatima184@gmail.com <p>Pulses, dry seeds of legume family, their roles have been very significant in human diets &amp; agriculture for thousands of years. This comprehensive review paper delves into the nutritional properties, health benefits, &amp; culinary uses of pulses. Pulses are very rich in plant proteins, dietary fiber, minerals, vitamins, antioxidants &amp; bioactive compounds, making them valuable for human nutrition. Furthermore, highlighting the potentially health benefits which the pulses provide, including their role in heart health, weight management, &amp; blood sugar control. Pulses may lower your risk of developing cardiovascular disease, weight loss, &amp; improved glycemic control in various studies. Pulse seeds vitally possess potential in the prevention of many chronic diseases e.g., cancer. Incorporating pulses into diets, especially in regions with dietary diversity challenges, is emphasized as a means to enhance nutritional status. Different culinary methods for pulse consumption are explored, along with the impact of processing techniques on nutrient retention. However, there are certain anti-nutritional factors in pulses, which can affect nutrient absorption &amp; bioavailability. Traditional food preparation methods are discussed as strategies to mitigate the effects of these anti-nutrients. Overall, this review underscores the nutritional significance of pulses &amp; their potential in promoting human health, while also acknowledging the importance of understanding &amp; managing their anti-nutritional components. Pulses, with their diverse nutritional profile, have potential in contributing to sustainable &amp; health-conscious diets worldwide.</p> 2024-04-03T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of Survey in Fisheries Sciences https://sifisheriessciences.com/index.php/journal/article/view/2424 Study Of Morphometric Characters And Heavy Metals Detection In Knifefish (Notopterous Notopterous) Sampled From River Ravi, Pakistan 2024-04-04T07:29:43+00:00 Sara Parveen hff@gmail.com Yasir Nawaz Royyasirnawaz@Gmail.Com Saba Munir hfff@gmail.com Hafiza Fizzah Riaz hfff@gmail.com Hussain Mehdi hfff@gmail.com Iqra Yasin hfff@gmail.com Aqeela Nawaz hfff@gmail.com Muhammad Luqman hfff@gmail.com Fouzia Tanvir hfff@gmail.com <p><strong>Background: </strong><em>Notopterous notopterous</em> belongs to catfishes and are 2<sup>nd</sup> main group of freshwater fishes.<strong> Objectives:</strong> To measure morphometric characters and heavy metals in fish from River Ravi.</p> <p><strong>Methodology:</strong> Morphometric measurements was made by measurement tape and weight was calculated by digital balance. Heavy metals detection was also studied.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> It was found that, fish weight was 105.85±26.620 g, length with tail 21.03±1.60 cm, length without tail 19.30±1.5 cm. The distance in eyes was 1.47±0.30 cm, in nostrils 0.7±0.09 cm. Mandibles length was 2.59±0.30 cm, and maxilla 3.21±0.19 cm, diameter of eye 0.97±0.08 cm. Length of fins was also compared. The number of rays of different fins was also seen. The relationship between length and weight was discovered to be non-linear, and development was allometric. The concentration of Cd was more in Liver, Cr was more in Liver, Cu was more in Liver and Pb was more in Gills then other organs of the fish.<strong> Conclusions</strong>: Fish had large head region with various kinds of fins including dorsal fins and anal fins. Iron, cadmium, Copper, Chromium and lead in different organs were also seen and nickel was high in all organs of body except gills. Lead accumulates in the gills</p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> 2024-04-04T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of Survey in Fisheries Sciences
