The journal was firstly published in the Regular Edition (Vol. 1, No. 1) in April 2013, under management of the Graduate Program of Sam Ratulangi University (UNSRAT). At that time, JASM was published in the form of regular edition through print media (ISSN 2337-4403) and online (e-ISSN 2337-5000).
In April 2015, JASM was managed by the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences of UNSRAT (specifically in Master Program of Aquatic Science) in the publication of Vol. 3, No. 1 (April 2015).
In 2016, JASM collaborated and was sponsored by the Indonesia Aquatic Resources Management Association (Asosiasi Pengelola Sumber Daya Perairan Indonesia/SIPESUAR).
Since 2017, JASM was re-managed by the Graduate Program of UNSRAT. And, since then, in line with development of online media and considering of easier access and distribution of wider publications, starting from Vol. 5, No. 1 (April 2017), JASM was published only by using an open system through online media (e-ISSN 2337-5000) using Open Journal System (OJS).
At present, JASM is increasingly improving its management system, both the using of open journal system (OJS) and publication quality.
