Abstract
Croat J Fish continues in its effort to stay an important scientific and professional journal in the region. In this year, the Journal was advanced by new Editorial Board members while cooperation with SCIENDO publishers has been extended until the end of 2020. We hope and expect 2019 to be yet another significant year in fisheries science and we look forward to sharing it with you. The Editorial also provides information on the latest news on Open Access Journals Initiative, the Journal Scopus CiteScore metrics, as well as the articles published in Croat J Fish in 2018, with a list of reviewers who participated in the review process.
