“Open Access” as a publishing model was adopted by SUMAE for all her journals; Turkish Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (TrJFAS), Genetics of Aquatic Organisms (GenAqua) and Aquaculture Studies (Aquast) with the aim of retaining, reflecting and redistributing knowledge amongst researchers and scientists.


Turkish Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences” (TrJFAS) is a refereed academic journal has been published by Central Fisheries Research Institute of Turkey and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).

[toggle title=”About” color=”white”] It aims to address research and needs of all working and studying within the many varied areas of fisheries and aquatic sciences. The Journal publishes English language original research papers, critical review articles, short communications and technical notes on applied or scientific research relevant to freshwater, brackish and marine environments. TrJFAS was published biannually (April & November) between 2001 and 2009. A great number of manuscripts have been submitted to the journal for review from acceptance of the SCI index. Thereby, the journal has been published quarterly (March, June, September and December) from 2010 to 2017. The journal has been publishing monthly since January 2018.

“Aquaculture Studies” is the successor to the “Yunus Research Bulletin” (Yunus Araştırma Bülteni). Based on the experience and strengths of its predecessor, Aquaculture Studies has been developed to create a truly international forum for the communication of research in aquaculture science. Aquaculture Studies is a refereed academic journal has been published biannually (June & November), free of charge and open accessed by Central Fisheries Research Institute. It covers research and requirements of all works within the areas of aquaculture.

[toggle title=”About” color”white”] The Journal publishes English language original research papers, critical review articles, short communications and technical notes on applied and scientific research relevant to freshwater, brackish and marine environments. It aims to address all aquaculture studies releated aquatic organisms such as:

  • The biology, physiology and pathology of cultured fish, crustaceans, molluscs
  • Cultured of alternative aquatic species
  • The developments of broodstock management techniques
  • Animal welfare; nutrition, feeding and stocking practices especially as they affect the health, behaviour, appetite, conversion efficiency and growth rates of cultured species
  • The developments of sustainable production techniques
  • The design and management of both offshore and land-based systems, as well as the integration and application of improved scientific and engineering technologies
  • Novel processing technologies and techniques for aquaculture products
  • The sociological, societal impacts and techno-economic assessments of aquaculture
