Nauplius is an international journal published by the Brazilian Crustacean Society (SBC) without interruption since 1993. Since 2016, articles are published as they are accepted and are freely available on the journal’s website. The costs of publication are fully covered by SBC. Nevertheless, authors other than society members are welcome to publish their research with us.

Nauplius covers all aspects of crustacean biology, including aquaculture, bioenergetics, biogeography, development, ecology, fishery, morphology, paleontology, physiology, phylogeny, and taxonomy. Papers are published in English only. All manuscripts published are peer-reviewed for content and presentation by at least two appropriate referees, editorial board and editor-in-chief. Submission of a manuscript implies that it has not been published before and that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else. Additional instructions for authors on the SciELO page.
