Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will explore the complex interplay between physiology, health, stress, welfare, and sustainability in salmon farming, with a particular emphasis on addressing challenges posed by climate change and the opportunities provided by technological innovations. The primary aim is to consolidate cutting-edge research that advances our understanding of salmon biology and management practices, fostering more sustainable and resilient aquaculture systems. Topics will include salmon physiology, health, stress responses, welfare optimization, the impacts of climate change, and the role of innovative technologies in promoting environmental and economic sustainability.
This issue will bridge gaps in the current body of knowledge by integrating insights from multiple disciplines to provide a holistic view of the challenges and advancements in salmon farming. While the existing literature offers significant findings in areas such as salmon physiology, health, and stress, this issue will extend these discussions by incorporating the latest research on climate-induced impacts and the application of emerging technologies. It aims to contextualize recent innovations within broader trends in aquaculture sustainability, offering a platform for interdisciplinary dialog and highlighting practical implications for improving salmon welfare and farming practices.
The aim of this Special Issue is to compile original research or reviews that address the latest advances in salmon farming, including salmon physiology, health, stress responses, welfare optimization, the impacts of climate change, and the role of innovative technologies in promoting environmental and economic sustainability, etc. Manuscripts on these topics are particularly welcome.
