Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oxidation processes occur all the time—whether in humans, animals in general or even in plants, everything that is alive oxidizes. The result of oxidation processes is compensated by the body's antioxidant systems: when some physiological imbalance occurs, either endogenously or environmentally, oxidative control can be drastically altered. Many diseases that still do not have a clarified etiology are related to the establishment of oxidative stress, given by the increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) or nitrogen (RNS). To understand oxidation and reduction processes, different live models are applied in research, with fish being a great model for oxidative studies. Fish in general, due to the environment in which they live (water), are often affected by contaminants for human use that end up reaching wastewater. This contamination can affect their development and put the species at risk. Many of the behavioral changes observed in fish research are related to high levels of oxidative stress, and thus, many disorders of animal behavior that are still poorly understood may be related to oxidative imbalance. In addition, in intensive fish production systems, due to abiotic stresses (sound, density, chemical or procedural), this can end up increasing levels of oxidative stress, resulting in productivity losses.
In this Special Issue, we aim to address the novelty involving oxidative stress in fish and highlight the causal and progression relationships of different comorbidities in humans or in animals that can compromise the survival of nontarget species in the environment as well as result in lack of production in intensive production of fish.

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.
