About the journal
 “The zoonotic potential of the aquatic species has been relatively unnoticed over the past years, and either through more intensive examination, or due to changing environmental conditions, the incidence of human health issues associated with the aquatic environment and species has dramatically increased.” ccording to a recent analysis of the ISI Essential Science Indicators Web product, the Journal of Aquatic Animal Health is having a growing impact in the field of Plant & Animal Science. Currently, this journal’s record includes 301 highly cited papers cited a total of 1,247 times to date. The Journal of Aquatic Animal Health is published by the American Fisheries Society. In the interview below, Dr. Stephen Kaattari, Co-Editor-in-Chief of the journal from 1999-2003, discusses the journal’s citation record and impact. Dr. Kaattari is presently a Professor in the Department of Environmental and Aquatic Animal Health at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science in Gloucester Point, Virginia.
Instructions to Authors How do you see your field(s) evolving in the next few years?
There has been a tremendous increase in the economic development potential of aquaculture. As in the case with all intensive animal culture situations, the problems with infectious diseases become greatly magnified. When allied with potential new sources of income for people around the world, the interest in aquatic animal health must also increase.
Secondly, another area of great importance is the interface between aquatic animal health and human health, particularly within freshwater and estuarine systems. This has been heavily profiled and recognized by NOAA and NIH through their respective Oceans and Human Health programs. The zoonotic potential of the aquatic species has been relatively unnoticed over the past years, and either through more intensive examination, or due to changing environmental conditions, the incidence of human health issues associated with the aquatic environment and species has dramatically increased.
What role do you see for your journal?
Provide quality information that can assist aquaculturists in improving their industry.
Provide quality information that can assist fish and wildlife managers in making the most cogent decisions relating to our natural resources.
Provide the stimulus for scientists to develop new and exciting models/paradigms with which we accelerate our understanding of the biological world.
To serve as a catalyst in melding disparate disciplines in addressing common problems or interests.
