Acta Aquatica also covers related studies in aquatic biotechnology, aquatic renewable energy, aquatic bioecology, aquaculture, hydrology, biodiversity of the aquatic biosphere, oceanology, exploration and exploitation technology of aquatic resources, fisheries product technology, aquatic microbiology, aquatic modeling, aquatic geographic information systems, and the socio-economics of aquatic resources, along with related articles and topics that are not published elsewhere in any language.
