Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are proud to announce the launch of a Special Issue entitled “Feature Papers by Fishes’ Editorial Board Members”. This Special Issue aims to compile primary research articles and reviews on contemporary topics from scholars.

It will include high-quality papers in an open access format, authored by the Editorial Board Members of Fishes or those recommended and invited by the Editorial Board Members and the Editor-in-Chief.

Topics of interest encompass all of those within the journal's scope.

Authors are encouraged to submit their manuscripts through the Manuscript Tracking System at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/fishes. We sincerely hope that scholars worldwide will contribute high-quality papers based on their recent research.

Prof. Dr. Maria Angeles Esteban
Guest Editor

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 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. Fishes 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 2600 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • Reprint: MDPI Books provides the opportunity to republish successful Special Issues in book format, both online and in print.

This review elucidates the foundational principles of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) homeostasis in humans, emphasizing its depletion during aging and in age-associated disorders. Subsequently, the discussion extends to NAD+ precursors and their potential therapeutic applications, with insights from research using zebrafish as a disease model. This information sheds light on the growing interest in NAD and its metabolism in the medical field and sparks curiosity among researchers focused on fish studies. The review further explores the role of nicotinamide in fish, encompassing core NAD+ metabolism, its participation in oxidative stress, environmental challenges, and the mitigation of pollutant-induced toxicity. Additionally, the implications of NAD+ in fish neurobiology, immune regulation, host–pathogen interactions, skin, eggs, and post mortem muscle were considered. Dietary modulation of NAD+ pathways to enhance growth, immunity, and product quality in aquaculture has also been highlighted. This review highlights the significance of NAD+ metabolism in fish biology, covering cellular energy production, physiological processes, and environmental adaptation, and proposes targeting NAD+-related pathways as a strategy for aquaculture and fish health management.
