The aim of

Ichthyological Exploration of Freshwaters

is the rapid publication of papers resulting from field work in ichthyology and the documentation of the biodiversity of freshwater fishes:
taxonomic diversity
ecological diversity
ethological diversity
reproductive diversity
zoogeographical diversity

The emphasis is on tropical environments and fauna, but papers on subtropical and temperate fishes are also regularly published. The main focus is systematics and biology at the organism-level.

Although no single approach is proscribed, the following kinds of articles have been published:
descriptions of new taxa, systematic revisions, and identification keys;
ecology, ethology, and reproductive biology, preferably based on field observation;
zoogeography and exploration reports;
data on status of threathened or endangered species and biota.

Four fascicles of 96 pages (17 × 24 cm) are published each year, including many colour illustrations. In the last 19 years (volume 1-19), Ichthyological Exploration of Freshwaters has published 589 papers, including the descriptions of 60 new genera and 707 new species of fishes from all continents, making it one of the most important ichthyological journals.
