Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Maintaining an optimal aquatic environment is essential for sustainable aquaculture, directly impacting the health, growth, and reproduction of aquatic species. This Special Issue focuses on the metabolic regulation and physiological responses of aquatic animals, particularly fish, to environmental stressors such as temperature variation, hypoxia, heavy metals, and antibiotics. We seek to advance understanding of metabolic regulation, stress adaptation, and reproductive performance under such conditions. Studies employing genomic, transcriptomic, and biochemical approaches are especially encouraged to identify key regulatory pathways and resilience traits. By integrating cutting-edge research, this Special Issue will enhance theoretical knowledge in the field of fish physiology and support the development of innovative, sustainable aquaculture practices.
