Scientific Reports
ISSF scientific research reports are available to download in PDF format. We hope you find them valuable, and we appreciate your support of our work.
The covers of our reports include suggested citations to make it easy to cite ISSF reports in your own research. Many of our reports are resources for fishery improvement projects (FIPs).
An asterisk at the end of a research report title indicates that older versions of a frequently published report are available. If you would like to request an older version of a report, write to us at [email protected].
