Best journal for publishing on physiology and biochemistry of ammonia stress?

05 May 2015 1 8K Report

Could anyone recommend a top journal for a manuscript on ammonia stress in vivo in freshwater shrimp gills using Na/K-, V(H+)-ATPase gene expression and activities, and oxidative enzyme activities as biomarkers.

John Campbell McNamara

Just in case someone else has the same doubts as we did, 'Aquatic Toxicology' did a good job in providing excellent reviewers for this kind of multi-focus manuscript, including a nod to commercial aquaculture issues.
