Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Underwater acoustics has a history of 100 years and is now widely used as a tool for visualizing underwater organisms. In particular, research on active acoustics using sonar and echo sounder (especially quantitative echo sounder) is widely used internationally for the estimation of fishery resources biomass and the distribution on underwater organisms. Thus, it is indispensable in the field of fishery resources management and aquatic ecology research. In addition, research on passive acoustics, such as hydrophones, which are installed in water to collect biological sounds in under water, is currently undergoing remarkable development, and it is widely used as acoustic ecology research for understanding the distribution and behavior of underwater organisms. Acoustic telemetry, which combines an acoustic receiver and transmitter, is also being used as a tool for exploring the behavioral ecology of underwater organisms, and it is expected in future research.
In this Special Issue, we are calling for a wide range of advanced applied research utilizing the abovementioned underwater acoustic tools, especially research that contributes to the sustainable management of fishery resources and aquatic ecosystems.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
