Scientific and practical peer-reviewed journal
"Izvestiya TINRO" (“Transactions of the Pacific Research Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography”) is the oldest scientific periodical in the Far East. The first volume (entitled "Izvestiya TONS" in that time) was issued in 1928, when the fisheries science began developing in the Far East.
The structure of materials published in “Izvestiya TINRO” reflects the complexity of the fisheries science. They include articles on climatic, oceanographic, and hydrobiological problems and issues, biology and ecology of not only commercial aquatic organisms, but also rare indicator species; special attention is paid to the ecosystem study of biological resources, trophology, ecological capacity of biotopes and landscape zones, rational nature management, modeling of natural processes, and aquaculture. Publications on the technology of processing of raw materials from aquatic organisms, the techniques of their harvesting, and also the economic issues of fisheries’ functions hold a worthy place in “Izvestiya TINRO”.
"Izvestiya TINRO" is a rather voluminous periodical that allows publication of large articles based on significant factual materials. Formerly, the journal accepted works submitted mainly by specialists from fisheries institutes of the Far East (this was not a disadvantage, as the main resource base of the Russian fisheries is concentrated in the Far Eastern region); since the 2000s, specialists from academic institutes and higher education institutions, as well as experts from the western regions of the country have been regularly published, which has increased the proportion of publications on fundamental marine biology issues.
"Izvestiya TINRO" is well known to scientific institutions of the USA, Canada, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and other Pacific countries, whose activities are related to ocean science.
The journal is the original Russian edition.
