隨著全球人口的增長，水安全、生物多樣性喪失和水生生態(tài)系統(tǒng)服務(wù)的喪失越來越成為決策者的優(yōu)先事項(xiàng)。《國際水生生物學(xué)評論》匯集了一個(gè)論壇，對海洋和淡水生物學(xué)在經(jīng)濟(jì)變化的世界中面臨的挑戰(zhàn)進(jìn)行基礎(chǔ)性和面向問題的研究。跨學(xué)科的自然，文章涵蓋了水生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的所有方面，從源頭河流到海洋和生物多樣性研究到生態(tài)系統(tǒng)功能，建模方法包括地理信息系統(tǒng)和資源管理，特別強(qiáng)調(diào)海洋和淡水環(huán)境之間的聯(lián)系。編輯們明確歡迎對基線數(shù)據(jù)的研究。知識驅(qū)動的論文將引起研究人員的興趣，而問題驅(qū)動的文章將特別引起決策者的興趣。該雜志的首要目標(biāo)是將科學(xué)轉(zhuǎn)化為政策，使我們能夠理解全球體系，同時(shí)在區(qū)域范圍內(nèi)采取行動。《國際水生生物學(xué)評論》發(fā)表原創(chuàng)文章、評論、簡短交流和方法論文。

As human populations grow across the planet, water security, biodiversity loss and the loss of aquatic ecosystem services take on ever increasing priority for policy makers. International Review of Hydrobiology brings together in one forum fundamental and problem-oriented research on the challenges facing marine and freshwater biology in an economically changing world. Interdisciplinary in nature, articles cover all aspects of aquatic ecosystems, ranging from headwater streams to the ocean and biodiversity studies to ecosystem functioning, modeling approaches including GIS and resource management, with special emphasis on the link between marine and freshwater environments. The editors expressly welcome research on baseline data. The knowledge-driven papers will interest researchers, while the problem-driven articles will be of particular interest to policy makers. The overarching aim of the journal is to translate science into policy, allowing us to understand global systems yet act on a regional scale.International Review of Hydrobiology publishes original articles, reviews, short communications, and methods papers.
