Focus and Scope

Journal of Aquatic and Fisheries Products Technology (AFISH) publishes scientific works that contribute to the development of knowledge, technology, innovation, quality, safety, processing, utilization, and value addition of aquatic and fisheries products.

AFISH provides a scholarly publication platform for researchers, academics, practitioners, students, and professionals working in fisheries products technology and related disciplines.

AFISH accepts Research Articles and Review Articles. Manuscripts may be submitted in English or Bahasa Indonesia.

Scope of the Journal

The scope of AFISH includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:

  • Post-harvest handling and preservation of aquatic and fisheries products.
  • Processing technology for fish, shellfish, seaweed, and other aquatic resources.
  • Quality control and food safety, including quality assurance, food hygiene, contaminants, and product safety.
  • Product diversification and development, including innovative and value-added fisheries products.
  • Biotechnology related to fisheries products, processing, fermentation, enzymes, and bioactive compounds.
  • Functional foods and functional products derived from aquatic and fisheries resources.
  • Packaging and storage technology, including shelf-life, preservation systems, and product stability.
  • Utilization of fisheries waste and by-products for food, feed, biomaterials, bioactive compounds, or other value-added applications.
  • Sensory analysis and consumer acceptance of aquatic and fisheries products.
  • Microbiological, chemical, physicochemical, and nutritional analysis related to fisheries products and their processing.
  • Small-scale fisheries industries, entrepreneurship, and product innovation related to fisheries processing and value-added products.

Types of Manuscripts

Research Article

Original scientific research presenting clear objectives, appropriate methodology, valid data analysis, and findings that contribute to the advancement of fisheries products technology.

Review Article

Critical and comprehensive reviews that synthesize current scientific knowledge, identify research gaps, discuss emerging developments, and provide perspectives relevant to the scope of AFISH.

Manuscripts submitted to AFISH should demonstrate clear relevance to fisheries products technology. Studies whose primary focus falls outside the journal's scope may be declined during the initial editorial screening.
