Overview

An aquatic environment is any water-based habitat, including marine systems such as oceans and estuaries and freshwater systems such as rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, and wetlands, characterized by distinctive physical and chemical conditions that support diverse organisms and ecological processes. These environments sustain fisheries and aquaculture, regulate biogeochemical cycles, and provide ecosystem services, but are vulnerable to pollution, eutrophication, habitat alteration, and anthropogenic stressors. Their study integrates ecology, limnology, ecotoxicology, and fisheries science to assess water quality, biodiversity, and the health of aquatic organisms. The research themes reflected here include the adverse effects of underwater sound on fishes and invertebrates, approaches to fisheries management, and the use of freshwater bivalves as bioindicators of pollution. Ecotoxicological work examines the effects of hexavalent chromium and heavy-metal contamination on fish blood and aquatic plants, the impact of pesticides on mosquito larvae, and the attenuation of cyanotoxins. Further studies address algal cultivation and energy applications, amphibian metamorphosis under chemical stress, and hepatic metabolomic responses to pesticide toxicity in fish. Across these topics, contamination assessment, bioindicator monitoring, and the protection of aquatic biodiversity recur. The journal publishes peer-reviewed studies, assessments, and reviews addressing aquatic ecosystems, the responses of aquatic organisms to environmental stressors, and the management and conservation of freshwater and marine environments.
