South China Fisheries Science is an open access journal supported by article processing charges (APCs).

The base APC for articles published is 300 Yuan per page (including color printing). Review fee: 200 yuan per referee. For authors who want to express publication, no surchages will be charged for now. However, in case of overlength page printing, the printing cost (100 Yuan per page) will be charged according to the actual number of pages exceeded.

Besides, South China Fisheries Science adheres to the principles of fairness and impartiality, selecting the best manuscripts for publication. Once the submission is published, authors will receive a modest remuneration according to the quality of the article (500–3000 Yuan). Authors will also receive two complimentary copies of the journal.
