Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is dedicated to the application of nutrition, physiological studies, and management carried out on fish.
Fish constitute the most diverse and ecologically important group of vertebrates in the world and, as such, have been extensively studied to understand the basic aspects of their development and to implement industrial applications. One of the most significant applications is aquaculture, which plays an important role in promoting the consumption of highly nutritious foods among the human population. In recent decades, fish have become valuable model organisms for biotechnology research, where nutritional and physiological studies are fundamental to achieving profitable aquaculture. Thus, the knowledge acquired from morphophysiological studies, through understanding the relationships between metabolic pathways and molecular mechanisms, has been revealed through the application of omics sciences. Therefore, the analysis of physiological processes not only expands our understanding of these animals but also has important implications for basic research and its application in improving management techniques for a more efficient aquaculture industry.
Considering the success of our previous Special Issue, we are pleased to launch "Fish Nutrition, Physiology and Management: Second Edition". This Special Issue will attempt to provide information regarding the relevance of nutrition, morphological and management techniques, and their relationships with functions in fish.
In this Special Issue, original manuscripts, review articles, and short communications, alongside research with the potential for application, are particularly welcome.
You are invited to contribute to this theme or related research topics to improve the existing anatomical and physiological knowledge of fish.
Dr. Carlos Alfonso Alvarez-González
Guest Editor

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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).
