Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aquatic biomonitoring is important in assessing the health of freshwater and marine environments and their biota and the functioning of aquatic ecosystems. Aquatic biomonitoring reveals the overall health and status of the environment, shows how different sources of pollution or stressors will affect those trends, detects environmental trends, and predicts risks of natural and human-made activities on aquatic systems, their biota, and the environment. Stressors can be physical, chemical, or biological. They can have a major impact not only on aquatic but also on land and atmospheric systems since these are connected. Aquatic biomonitoring considers different levels of integration, such as ecosystem, community, population, individual, and the subcellular levels of molecular omics approaches. In this Special Issue, we are covering all challenges in aquatic biomonitoring, such as transdisciplinary approaches, contributions for reliable risk assessments, and those covering socioecological data at the interface of environmental and public health.

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. Applied Sciences 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). 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.
