announce a winning partnership!

Philadelphia, 25th November 2010

The American Fisheries Society and Taylor & Francis are pleased 
to announce a new publishing partnership between the two 
organizations. As of 2011, Taylor & Francis will publish the six

*Transactions of the American Fisheries Society

*North American Journal of Aquaculture

*North American Journal of Fisheries Management

*Journal of Aquatic Animal Health

*Marine and Coastal Fisheries (an online-only, Open Access 
publication)

Through their new partnership, the AFS and Taylor & Francis aim 
to expand the global reach and readership of the six 
publications, to achieve the highest possible levels of 
accessibility through rapid publication and continued affordable 
pricing, and to maintain the high quality of the publications' 
content and presentation.

According to Kevin Bradley, President, Taylor & Francis USA, "The 
quality content of the AFS titles, combined with T&F's 
outstanding production and author services and our global 
marketing and sales power, will certainly make for a winning 
partnership. I am extremely pleased to be working with the 
American Fisheries Society."

"The new partnership with a reputable publishing house, Taylor & 
Francis, allows AFS to expand its services to its authors, users, 
and library subscriber base," said Gus Rassam, AFS Executive 
Director. "This partnership combines and builds on the deep 
tradition of excellence for which AFS is known, with the global 
reach and technological capabilities of Taylor & Francis."
