About the Journal

Focus and Scope

Torani Journal of Fisheries and Marine Science is a peer-reviewed, bilingual (English/Indonesian) journal specializing in tropical fisheries and marine research. Its dual geographical focus is on Indonesia's marine territories (especially the Wallacea region) and comparable tropical marine ecosystems worldwide.
We prioritize cutting-edge studies on Wallacea's unique marine biodiversity hotspot, encompassing its coral triangle ecosystems, transboundary fisheries, and endemic species conservation, while remaining open to relevant research from other tropical regions that offer transferable insights for Indonesian waters. The journal serves as a scientific nexus connecting field-based research, policy formulation, and community-based marine management, particularly addressing:

1. Wallacea-specific challenges: marine protected area management, migratory species
conservation, and small island fisheries
2. Pan-tropical fisheries and marine issues: climate resilience, sustainable fisheries and smart aquaculture, and blue economy innovations

All submissions must include full English metadata (title/abstract/keywords), with Indonesian-language articles requiring extended English abstracts to ensure global discoverability. We encourage transdisciplinary studies integrating traditional ecological knowledge with modern marine science in the Wallacea context.
