4- Short Communications or Brief Reports,
5- Case Studies,
6- Editorials and Commentaries,
7- Letters to the Editor,

10- Methodology Papers,
11- Conceptual or Theoretical Papers,

1- Title
Title should be brief and informative reflecting the purpose and Content of the study (species should be identified by their scientific name). Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible.
2- Author(s)
The full name of the author(s) should be listed under the title.
3- Affiliation(s)
The affiliation and address of the author(s) should be stated, identifiable by an index number in case of more than one author.

5- Keywords
Up to five descriptive keywords should be listed. These keywords will be used for search and retrieval, as well as indexing.
6- Introduction:
The introduction should be brief leading into the scientific working hypothesis of the study. It can include three parts of the importance of the issue, the literature and the goal and a brief description of the current study.
7-Materials and methods:
Materials and methods must be sufficiently detailed so that readers can exactly repeat the study.
8-Results:
The text of the results should interpret the findings and not repeat data already presented in figures and tables.
9-Discussion:

Tables must be numbered and the title of the table must be placed on the top of the table with the footnotes on the bottom. Tables must appear where (or as close as to where) they are first mentioned in the text. They must be referred in the text as Table 1. (e.g..: Catamaran characteristics are presented in Table 1). Table must be constructed from simple lines with hidden vertical rules and no background.(Blank Times New Roman 10)
11- Figures:
A descriptive list of numbered figures should be attached. A brief title should be typed under each figure, clearly explaining all symbols and abbreviations depicted in the figures.
