Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Transcriptome sequencing based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) has brought novel insights into our understanding of cell RNA expression from a global view. Transcriptome research has focused on various aquaculture research areas, targeting different aspects, including physiology and endocrinology, genetic breeding, nutrition, environmental stress response, disease, and health management. Notably, RNA sequencing technologies are an efficient approach for discovering novel and essential genes in an unbiased manner, which offers momentous potential for improving commercially important production traits in aquatic species. In this regard, this Special Issue focuses on the latest advances in the study of transcriptomes in aquaculture species via NGS-based technologies.
The scope of this Special Issue of Fishes covers a wide range of studies aimed at exploring various aspects of transcriptomics in aquaculture using NGS methods. Submissions may include original reports, reviews, perspectives, and methodology articles.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Fishes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
