Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Intensive aquaculture production generates various challenges and stress factors that can severely affect production. Many of these factors (temperature, hypoxia/reoxygenation, toxins, infectious diseases, etc.) directly or indirectly generate reactive oxygen species that can then cause oxidative stress in the organism. This condition can affect the survival of the organisms in culture, their growth, or the shelf time of the final product (e.g., lipid peroxidation of the filé). From a biochemical and physiological point of view, a large number of bioactive compounds can simultaneously induce antioxidant effects and chemiprotection in organisms against various stress factors and modulate metabolic responses, opening possibilities for generating nutritional strategies that urgently need to be further explored. This Special Issue aims to promote the knowledge and use of supplementation strategies for bioactive compounds with antioxidant properties that promote broad protection against various stress factors and improve the zootechnical responses of organisms in culture. Manuscripts that address molecular, biochemical, physiological, and zootechnical variables from a multidisciplinary perspective are welcome, as are those that use nanotechnology to generate supplements with antioxidant characteristics or drugs against various types of diseases.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Animals is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
