Guidelines for contributors 



Content of papers 



Articles 



Articles arc reports of 10 to 30 pages (double 

 spaced) that describe original research in one or 

 a combination of the following fields of marine 

 science: taxonomy, biology, genetics, mathematics 

 (including modeling), statistics, engineering, eco- 

 nomics, and ecology. 



Notes 



Notes are reports of 5 to 10 pages without an 

 abstract that describe methods and results not 

 supported by a large body of data. Although all 

 contributions are subject to peer review, responsi- 

 bility for the contents of articles and note 

 upon the authors and not upon the editor or the 

 publisher. It is therefore important that authors 

 consider the contents of their manuscripts care- 

 fully Submission of an article is un-derstood to 

 imply that the article is original and is not being 

 considered for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts 

 must be written in English. Authors whose native 

 language is not English are strongly advised to 

 have their manuscripts checked for fluency by 

 English-speaking colleagues prior to submission.
