海洋和淡水行为和生理学致力于发表涵盖生态学、进化和保护背景下所有海洋和淡水动物行为和生理学各个方面的现场和实验室研究的论文。随着世界生物资源海洋、河流和湖泊作为人类食物来源及其在全球生态中的作用日益受到关注，该杂志还将发表渔业生物学和技术领域的研究成果，其中所描述的行为和生理学与上述背景有明确的联系。该期刊将接受发表研究文章、评论、快速通讯和技术说明（详细信息请参阅作者须知）。此外，社论、意见和书评（受邀和建议）也会偶尔发表。鼓励向特刊主编提出建议，并将临时考虑。为了支持早期职业研究人员，该期刊特别邀请研究生和帖子提交- 博士研究人员：除了认识到他们的研究经常面临的时间限制和后勤限制，以及他们对迅速审查过程的特殊需要之外，这些研究人员接受的文章将在期刊中得到突出显示（详细信息请参阅作者须知）。

Marine and Freshwater Behaviour and Physiology is devoted to the publication of papers covering field and laboratory research into all aspects of the behaviour and physiology of all marine and freshwater animals within the contexts of ecology, evolution and conservation. As the living resources of the world"檚 oceans, rivers and lakes are attracting increasing attention as food sources for humans and for their role in global ecology, the journal will also publish the results of research in the areas of fisheries biology and technology where the behaviour and physiology described have clear links to the contexts mentioned above. The journal will accept for publication Research Articles, Reviews, Rapid Communications and Technical Notes (see Instructions for authors for details). In addition, Editorials, Opinions and Book Reviews (invited and suggested) will also occasionally be published. Suggestions to the Editor-In-Chief for Special Issues are encouraged and will be considered on an ad hoc basis. With the goal of supporting early career researchers, the journal particularly invites submissions from graduate students and post-doctoral researchers. In addition to recognising the time constraints and logistical limitations their research often faces, and their particular need for a prompt review process, accepted articles by such researchers will be given prominence within the journal (see Instructions for authors for details).
