01-16-2013 The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) coordinates and promotes applied research in the North Atlantic. Its journal is an outlet for that research, as well as for other information contributing to a broad understanding of all marine systems, their resources, and the effects of human activity on both. Articles address management and conservation issues, biology, ecology, fishing and other human activities, climate change, and changes in technology. Typically, one or two issues of the eight per year are symposium proceedings; ICES offers these as a separate series, but it is more efficient to purchase through the journal subscription. This Open Access yellow journal is moderately priced and an important title for marine science research collections. Available in print and electronically. (Butler, Barbara A.)
