Aquaculture Pharmacology

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to serve as a platform for cutting-edge research that spans therapeutic applications in aquaculture while addressing the unintended consequences of drug exposure in aquatic animal populations.

The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following:

1. Evaluations of the therapeutic efficacy of antibiotics, antiparasitic agents, antifungals, and other drugs in aquaculture settings.
2. In-depth pharmacokinetic studies unraveling the dynamics of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion in aquatic animals.
3. Residue depletion studies specific to aquatic medicine, enhancing our understanding of the persistence and potential environmental impact of pharmaceuticals.
4. Explorations of the unintended consequences of drug exposure in aquatic animal populations and their ecological implications.
5. Strategies and innovations for mitigating the ecological footprint of pharmaceuticals in aquatic environments.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Kind Regards,

Prof. Dr. Fan Yang
Guest Editor
