To celebrate the recent re-launch of Aquatic Biosystems from its previous title Saline Systems, the journal has introduced an article processing charge free period until 1st June 2012 for all new submissions.

Aquatic Biosystems publishes high quality articles on all aspects of basic and applied research on aquatic organisms and environments. Amongst the first articles published this year is research on the hunting strategies and prey items of killer whales in Canada, and a review focusing on the strategy of extremophilic enzymes when functioning at low water activity.

The journal has recently expanded its scope and its Editorial board to cover all aquatic biosystems. Please do submit your manuscript now to take advantage of the free period for publication and support the new journal in its first few months.
