Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aquaculture industry is becoming an increasingly important source of fish and other kinds of seafood as capture fish industry declines due to the exploitation of wild stocks. Due to increasing demands, fish farming systems will become more intensive and industrialized, resulting in a more stressful environment for farmed fish. Crowding, handling, hypoxia and hyperoxia are typical stressors that have detrimental effects on the physiological functions of fish, affecting growth, disease resistance and survival. Therefore, it is important to gain a better understanding of the effect of different stressors and the stress resistance of various farmed fish species. High-quality feeds are also crucial for intensive aquaculture. The composition of formulated feeds has substantial effects on growth or flesh quality, as well as the physiological functions of fish. Using adequate feed ingredients or additives can increase the resistance of fish, decreasing or eliminating the negative effects of various stressors related to intensive rearing conditions.
We encourage authors to share new information on the physiological responses of fishes to nutrition management and environmental stresses in this Special Issue.
