Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and associated oxidative stress have classically been considered to represent an important source of molecular and cellular damage and toxicity. However, it is increasingly clear that below a certain threshold, ROS also plays a vital role in cell signalling, as well as in certain physiological mechanisms, such as in the immune system. Various fish species have become increasingly popular as animal models for studying the effects of ROS in the contexts of both toxicology and normal physiology. Notable models include the zebrafish, alongside other species of great economic and ecological importance.
We are pleased to invite you to submit your research to a Special Issue focused on “Reactive Oxygen Species Signalling and Oxidative Stress in Fish”. This Special Issue will explore the latest advancements in our understanding of the toxic and physiological effects of ROS within the largest and most diverse of all vertebrate groups. We welcome original research articles and reviews that cover, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- The contribution of ROS to the toxic effects of various important pollutants;
- How ROS act to mediate the effects of environmental stressors on animal physiology;
- The role of ROS in immune cell functions;
- The contribution of oxidative stress to the regulation and functions of metabolic systems.
If your research aligns with these topics, then we encourage you to contribute to this exciting Special Issue.

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. Antioxidants is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2900 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.
