The review process was fast, despite being rejected, but I appreciate the constructive feedback.

This journal is a top journal in the field of fisheries and also in the field of marine environment. The proportion of Chinese authors publishing papers is about 2.3%, which is the reason why the impact factor has always remained at 3+. Compared to other journals with higher impact factors, the proportion of Chinese submissions is usually over 60%. So, even though the impact factor is not high, it is definitely not a low-quality journal. Many people may think that the cost-effectiveness is not high when looking at the impact factor. However, the opinions of the three reviewers, except for the first reviewer who gave more general comments, are very serious and the suggested modifications are valuable and not difficult to make. It is a good journal and not difficult to publish in. I recommend submitting.
