Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fish and aquatic products with high-quality protein and high-quality fat are an important human food source. However, the traditional aquaculture model is faced with resource-based and environmental constraints, a lack of technological innovation ability in the seed-production industry, and the degradation of germplasm, which restricts the development of sustainable aquaculture practices. Germplasm innovation and efficient aquaculture practices are important in ensuring the sustainable development of aquatic products; therefore, there is a need to consolidate the latest information regarding fish breeding and aquaculture development. This Special Issue aims to provide the latest information on fish breeding technologies and sustainable aquaculture. Submissions may take the form of original research, full or mini-reviews, and perspectives on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Genetic breeding techniques (selective breeding, hybridization, gynogenesis, gene editing, etc.), more generally for aquatic animals;
- The evaluation of phenotype and genetic traits;
- The evaluation of important characteristics (growth, disease resistance, stress tolerance, etc.);
- Nutrition and metabolism;
- New technology or systems for sustainable aquaculture;
- Precision feeding, waste reduction strategies, and water quality management.
