Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aquatic organisms (fish, crustaceans, mollusks, among others) possess complex and highly specialized physiological mechanisms, fundamental to ensuring their survival in the aquatic environment. These mechanisms allow them to maintain homeostasis, cope with environmental variations, and perform vital functions such as respiration, osmoregulation, nutrition, locomotion, and stress response. The physiology of aquatic organisms has advanced significantly in recent decades due to the need for a better understanding of how these animals respond to environmental changes and captive management, among other factors. Therefore, we invite researchers to submit papers that address topics related to the physiology of aquatic organisms, contributing significantly to the expansion of knowledge regarding the production chains of these animals in a global context.
