General instructions:

put only scientific names in italics (e.g. Zostera marina)

do not use tabs in text; do not use footnotes

separate sentences by a full stop followed by one space only

acronyms are written as ICES, FAO, etc. (without dots)

use only the metric system; abbreviations of units: kg, g, mg, µg, m, cm, mm, µm, l (litre), ml, d (day), h (hour), min, s (sec), °C, kcal, cal, Hz. Use also m², m³, cm², cm³, etc. (cf. ‘International System of Units’ (cf. http://www.bipm.fr/enus/3_SI/si.html).

use the superscript and –1 notation, not the slash, e.g. m.s-1 and not m/s

distinguish numerals from letters, e.g. zero (0) from O; one (1) from l and I

do not use commas to separate decimal fractions but use a point, e.g. 5.1; use a comma as digit grouping character, e.g. 2,856,653

avoid numbering – for bulleted parts of your text a ‘bulleted’-style is foreseen.

Running headline and keywords

Provide an abbreviated title, to be used as running headline, and maximally five keywords, clearly identifying the contents of your manuscript.

Heading 1

Preferably the papers should be structured as follows: Abstract, Introduction, Various chapters of the paper, Conclusions and/or Recommendations, Acknowledgements (if applicable), and References.

Heading 2

Further subtitling of your document with heading 2 and 3.

Heading 3

This level should only be used if you want to stress a sentence. If not really necessary, please do not use this style. For a good comprehension of your document, please stick, if possible to Heading levels 1 and 2.

Tables

Tables must be numbered in Roman numbers and referred to as Table I, II, III, etc. in the text. Each table must be accompanied by a concise heading, put at the top. Do not use vertical and horizontal bars within the tables.

Figures

All figures must be numbered in Arabic numbers (1, 2, 3, ...). Captions should be typed as follows:

Fig. 1. A fully browser based information system, with an external DNA database. [Style: Figures-titling]

Lettering, symbols and photographs should be clear and large enough to be easily readable after size reduction and black and white reproduction. Color illustrations will be at the author’s expense.

References

Citation in the text

Single author

A single author is cited as: Smith (1973). If the author has several (quoted) publications in the same year, differentiate by letter (1973a, 1973b, etc.). Papers by two authors are cited as: Smith and Jones (1973). Publications with more than two authors are cited as: Smith et al. (1973).

If no author is ascertainable, list reference by name of sponsoring body or name of editor. Avoid the term ‘Anonymous’. For a list of references in the text, arrange first chronologically, then alphabetically as follows: ... (Johnson, 1896; Bouvier, 1926; Ackers, 1960ab, 1978; Smith, 1972, 1978, 1984; Groothuys, 1985)

Two or more authors

References for which there are two or more authors should be arranged first alphabetically, then chronologically.

References list at the end of the paper

The complete unabbreviated publication reference must be given for all citations.

The bibliography should be arranged alphabetically according to the family name of the first author. The publication date must be given directly after the last author. Names of all authors have to be spelled out completely. The family names should be in lower case (except for the initial letter). If more than one reference is given for a single author the publications should be listed chronologically. If this author has several (quoted) publications in the same year, differentiate by letter (1973a, 1973b, etc.). Use the following system for arranging the references:
