Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Marine ecosystems are among the most diverse and vital environments on our planet, supporting a vast array of species that are crucial for maintaining ecological balance and providing essential resources for human communities. However, these ecosystems face unprecedented challenges due to overfishing, habitat degradation, climate change, and pollution, which threaten the sustainability of marine fish populations and the overall health of the oceans. This Special Issue aims to compile cutting-edge research and reviews that deepen our understanding of the ecological dynamics of marine fish and explore innovative strategies for their conservation. Contributions are encouraged to cover a broad spectrum of topics, including species ecology, fisheries ecology, population dynamics, habitat requirements, impacts of environmental change, and effective conservation and management approaches. By fostering an interdisciplinary dialogue, we hope to advance scientific knowledge and promote practical solutions to preserve marine fish biodiversity for future generations.
