The journal publishes papers dealing with conservation and the rational use of biological resources of Antarctic waters, and covers numerous disciplines including the biology, ecology and population dynamics of marine species, ecological interactions and relevant issues related to fishery economics and management. The unique feature of the CAMLR Convention, which requires that fisheries management be based on an ‘ecosystem approach’, clearly distinguishes CCAMLR Science from other journals in its field.

The journal is currently distributed worldwide, free of charge, to all interested scientists, research institutes, fishing companies, international conservation and fisheries organisations and a number of national and international libraries.

The tables of contents of all volumes published so far are now linked to pdf files of original papers. When cited, a standard bibliographic reference to the journal is required for all papers downloaded from the site.
