Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Aquaculture is presented as one of the main alimentary industries for the provision of the increasing protein demand for the maintenance of the growing planetary population. However, the sustainability and productivity of the aquaculture industry has to deal with different challenges, some of them related to the effects of the workaday procedures on the physiology of farmed fish. One of the main consequences of these farming activities is the stress suffered by the farmed fish that lead to several problems, as is the reduction of appetite or immune depression, as has been reported in many fish species with commercial interest. Thus, the aim of this Special Issue is to publish original research papers or reviews concerning the characteristics and consequences of the physiological stress response in commercial fish species.
Areas of interest: physiological stress response in novel farmed fish species; the effect of stress on animal behavior (feeding, reproduction) and health (welfare, illness); methods for improving stress consequences (dietary composition, additives, and anesthetics); slaughter methods and stress in farmed fish (welfare, meat quality).
I invite you to share your recent findings through this Special Issue.
Dr. Marta Conde-Sieira
Guest Editor
