Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The fisheries community is the central issue of the marine ecosystem; with the high variation in climate change, the degradation of the fisheries community is enhanced. In order to understand the interaction between climate change and fisheries species, this Special Issue aims to cover many topics related to climate change, fisheries community dynamics, their interactions, stock dynamics, fisheries ecosystem model, as well as AI technique application. For each topic, the author can contribute their original manuscript focusing on marine and freshwater ecology science, methodology, ideas, as well as reviews. AI technique applications in fisheries and climate change research are especially welcome.
We hope these topics will significantly improve the existing literature by incorporating updated datasets, new techniques, as well as the expansion of new scenarios explored recently, such as marine ranching scenario and marine aquaculture scenario. Studies on the local and global scale are both welcome for this Issue. Short- and long-term field studies and the mechanism of community dynamics are expected to be investigated.
