Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The important contribution of aquatic products to global food security and nutrition is increasingly being recognized. Preservation and processing are critical stages within the aquatic products industry, where technological innovation can drive the healthy and rapid development of both aquaculture and circulation markets. However, challenges such as significant quality loss during circulation, low utilization rates in processing, and a limited variety of high-value products have become major bottlenecks constraining industry progress. Innovation in preservation and processing technologies is essential not only for enhancing the quality of aquatic products but also for boosting the competitiveness of the sector. This advancement plays a crucial role in promoting the high-value development of fisheries, holding considerable social and economic significance.
