Aquatic Conservation-marine and Freshwater Ecosystems covers a variety of subjects, including Ecology, Fishery, Habitat, Biodiversity and Endangered species. Species richness, Threatened species, Ecosystem, Invertebrate and Abundance (ecology) are among the areas of Ecology tackled. Many of the studies tackled connect Fishery with a similar field of study like Marine protected area.
The work on Marine protected area tackled in it brings together disciplines like Marine conservation, Environmental resource management and Marine reserve. Aquatic Conservation-marine and Freshwater Ecosystems facilitates discussions on Habitat that incorporate concepts from other fields like Estuary, Range (biology) and Drainage basin. The in-depth study on Reef also explores topics in the intersecting field of Coral reef.
The journal publications primarily focus on research topics in Ecology, Habitat, Fishery, Environmental resource management and Biodiversity. The studies on Habitat discussed at the most cited publications can also contribute to research in the domains of Range (biology), Abundance (ecology) and Hydrology, Wetland, Channel (geography). The journal publications explore issues in Fishery which can be linked to other research areas like Marine protected area and Mediterranean sea.
The journal focuses on Fishery, Ecology, Endangered species, Habitat and Biodiversity. The studies in Fishery featured incorporate elements of Marine protected area and Critically endangered. Topics in Ecology explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Freshwater fish and Biological dispersal.
The work tackled in it goes beyond the discipline of Endangered species as it also encompasses Zoology. While the journal focused on Biodiversity, it was also able to explore topics like Species richness, Threatened species and Amazon rainforest. Research in the field of Oceanography was used to conduct the presented Climate change study.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Aquatic Conservation-marine and Freshwater Ecosystems (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Aquatic Conservation-marine and Freshwater Ecosystems (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 3.79% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 13.98% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 14.34% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 22.58% of all publications and 49.10% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2020)Pursuing a degree in Biology or Biochemistry offers foundational knowledge critical for various scientific careers. However, many students consider expanding their expertise through specialized degrees in related fields like counseling and mental health. For those interested in integrating science with human behavior, the cheapest online master's in counseling can be an accessible pathway to gain counseling credentials without interrupting your current schedule.
Clinical applications are another significant avenue. Programs such as clinical mental health counseling offer fast-track options designed to prepare students for licensure and clinical practice. These degrees complement a scientific background by equipping graduates to support mental and emotional well-being.
For those interested in younger demographics, an masters in child development online provides targeted training on cognitive and emotional growth. This specialization often proves valuable in schools, healthcare, and community settings.
Lastly, the flexibility of an online master's degree in counseling can help students balance work and study, making it easier to transition into fulfilling careers that blend science and human services. Exploring these pathways broadens opportunities beyond traditional biological sciences.
