Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue, topics from the European Inland Fisheries and Aquaculture Advisory Commission (EIFAAC) International Symposium "Building a Sustainable Future for Inland Fisheries and Aquaculture in a Time of Multiple Stressors" will be covered. The aim of the Symposium that was held from 7–9 October 2024 in Pula, Croatia, was to facilitate interactions between European scientists and policy makers and to exchange research on inland fisheries and freshwater aquaculture within the European region. The articles in this issue aim to present the most interesting and important research results within certain topics and problems of inland fisheries and aquaculture. The stock assessment and management of freshwater fish with innovative management for the conservation of freshwater areas and aquatic biodiversity together with climate change and its impact on inland waters, fisheries, and aquaculture are crucial themes of this issue. Special interest was expressed in the development of new technologies that will improve production and protect the environment, as well as the inclusion of aquaculture in the circular economy. Themes that process problems of predators, especially piscivorous birds on freshwater fish farms, and the assessment of existing policies covering this problem are specially emphasized. Citizen science and socio-economic aspects of freshwater fisheries and aquaculture, as well as advances in recreational fishery research and management, are included in the topics. Special attention is paid to articles dealing with the problems and conservation of migratory fish and the occurrence of foreign and invasive fish species.
Both full articles (without extension limits) and communications (5–10 pages) will be considered. Papers submitted to this Special Issue will undergo the standard peer-review procedure.
If you have relevant research on the topics that are covered by this Special Issue, you are welcome to submit!
