Aquatic Life Sciences

Aquatic Life Sciences is an international, peer-reviewed journal focused on advancing knowledge of living systems in aquatic environments. The journal covers all biological aspects of life in freshwater, marine, and brackish ecosystems, including molecular, organismal, ecological, and evolutionary perspectives. The journal is affiliated with the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Mulawarman University.

We publish research that explores how aquatic organisms develop, adapt, interact, reproduce, and sustain ecosystems, as well as how they respond to natural and human-induced changes. The journal particularly values studies that enhance our understanding of biodiversity, physiological function, life strategies, and ecological resilience.

Aquatic Life Sciences encourages interdisciplinary work and innovation that deepen insights into the biology and sustainability of aquatic life, from microbes and invertebrates to fish, aquatic plants, and megafauna.
