Aquatic Life Sciences is an open-access journal published by ETFLIN and dedicated to advancing research on aquatic life, encompassing various fields such as aquatic biotechnology, natural products from bioresources, and the impact of environmental stressors on ecosystems. The journal is affiliated with the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Mulawarman University. Aquatic Life Science aims to provide a platform for researchers, academics, and professionals to publish original research, reviews, and perspectives on all aspects of aquatic life. The journal seeks to promote interdisciplinary research that addresses aquatic organisms chemical, biological, ecological, physiological, and behavioral aspects and their interactions with the environment and other species. The Aqlis scope is related to these following topics but are not limited to: Aquatic biotechnology: research on the development and application of biotechnological approaches to marine and freshwater organisms, including the production of novel biomolecules, genetic engineering, and bioprospecting. Natural products from aquatic bioresources: studies on the identification and characterization of natural compounds with potential pharmaceutical, industrial, or agricultural applications, sourced from marine and freshwater organisms. Aquatic environment: research on the impacts of environmental stressors on aquatic ecosystems, including climate change, pollution, and habitat degradation, as well as the development of strategies for conservation and management. Aquaculture: studies on the cultivation and breeding of aquatic organisms for food, ornamental purposes, and other applications, including the development of sustainable aquaculture practices. • Biotechnology in seafood: studies on biotechnological tools and methods to improve the quality, safety, and sustainability of seafood production, including genetic engineering, bioprocessing, microbial ecology, food science, and food safety.
