Comment: American Fisheries Society makes changes in the end
Many aquatic biologists, and possibly some others, may know that the American
Fisheries Society publishes a list of standardised scientific and common
names for the fish of North America. The sixth edition of this list has recently
been published (Nelson et al. 2004). Fisheries-related journals published
in North America typically insist that authors use these standardised names,
and this is likely to remain a requirement. Moreover, at times, journal editors
have even attempted to impose North American common names for New Zealand
fish species, when published in these American journals.
