Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the rapid advancement of genome-based technologies—from whole-genome sequencing and genotyping arrays to gene editing, transcriptomics, and epigenomics—has begun to fundamentally transform aquaculture science and practice. This Special Issue, “Applications of Genome-Based Technologies in Aquaculture,” aims to collect high-quality research and review articles that showcase the latest developments and practical implementations of genomic tools in aquatic species. We welcome contributions covering, but not limited to, genomic selection and breeding; functional genomics; genome-wide association studies (GWAS); CRISPR and other gene-editing applications; genomic insights into disease immunity, stress adaptation, and reproductive biology; and the integration of genomic data with aquaculture management and conservation strategies. Studies that address ethical considerations, economic impacts, or sustainability outcomes related to genomic innovations are also encouraged. We invite you to submit your original research or review manuscripts to this exciting collection.
Dr. Peng Yu
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.
