Response of Aquatic Animals to Environmental Changes

Dear Colleagues,

Aquatic animals are widely distributed in rivers, lakes, and seas, which occupy 70% of the earth's surface. In the past hundred years, human activities have had a great impact on the earth's environments, and the water environment is no exception. The environment in which aquatic animals live is facing the impact of human activities such as climate change, industrial pollution, agricultural emissions, and recreational activities. Aquatic animals cope with and adapt to the stresses resulting from these impacts and continue to survive. The aim of this Special Issue is to understand the physiological and ecological response characteristics of aquatic animals to changes in the marine environment of various temporal and spatial scales that appear in the process of climate change and to share scientific evidence for future change prospects. This Special Issue welcomes original articles and review articles dealing with the physio-ecological adaptation characteristics of aquatic animals and future changes in response to environmental change.
