• Do not use bold fonts or bold lines in figures. 
• Do not place outline rules around graphs. 
• Place a north arrow and label degrees latitude and 
longitude (e.g., 170°E) in all maps. 
• Use symbols, shadings, or patterns (not clip art) in 
maps and graphs. 
Supplementary materials that are considered essential, 
but are too large or impractical for inclusion in a pa¬ 
per (e.g., metadata, figures, tables, videos, and web¬ 
sites), may be provided at the end of an article. These 
materials are subject to the editorial standards of the 
journal. A URL to the supplementary material and a 
brief explanation for including such material should be 
sent at the time of initial submission of the paper to 
the journal. 
• Metadata, Figures, and tables should be submitted in 
standard digital format (MS Word or PDF file) and 
should be cited in the general text, for example, as 
“...was determined (Suppl. Table 3, Suppl. Fig. 1).” 
• Websites should be cited with a URL in the general 
text. 
• Videos must not be larger than 30 MB to allow a 
swift technical response for viewing the video. Au¬ 
thors should consider whether a short video uniquely 
captures what text alone cannot capture for the un¬ 
derstanding of a process or behavior under exami¬ 
nation in the article. Supply an online link to the 
location of the video. 
Copyright law does not apply to Fishery Bulletin, which 
falls within the public domain. However, if an author 
reproduces any part of an article from Fishery Bulle¬ 
tin, reference to source is considered correct form (e.g., 
Source: Fish. Bull. 97:105). 
Failure to follow these guidelines 
and failure to correspond with editors 
in a timely manner will delay 
publication of a manuscript.
