Nigerian Journal of Fisheries (NJF)

The Fisheries society of Nigeria (FISON) was founded in 1976 by some few civil service based enthusiasts to promote the development of the fisheries profession and related disciplines in Nigeria, Africa and internationally. Today the membership of the society has expanded cutting across all the related disciplines including fisheries scientists, fishing companies and professional industrial fishing/fish farming enthusiasts and entrepreneurs. The Nigerian Journal of Fisheries is aimed at encouraging needed research into multivariate fisheries development options for national and international benefits and also providing the forum for dissemination of scientific findings in all aspects of fisheries for progressive development. It aims to serve individuals, industrialists and most importantly members of academia.Research published in the journal often addresses issues such as overfishing, environmental degradation, pollution impacts on aquatic ecosystems, and climate change effects on fisheries. It also highlights aquaculture development, including fish farming technologies, feed formulation, and hatchery management. The journal plays an important role in supporting Nigeria’s fisheries sector by encouraging evidence-based management practices and advancing scientific understanding of aquatic ecosystems.
