Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Genes is an international, peer-reviewed open-access journal that provides an advanced forum for studies related to genes, genetics, and genomics. This Special Issue, titled “Genetic Status and Perspectives of Fisheries Resources”, focuses on the genetic diversity, population structure, conservation strategies, and sustainable use of global fisheries resources, with the aim of providing cutting-edge scientific insights and technical support to researchers, policymakers and industry practitioners.
We invite you to submit high-quality scientific works, including original research, review articles, methodology papers, or short communications that are related to the following topics:
- Population genetics (genetic diversity, population differentiation, gene flow, and adaptive evolution of wild and farmed aquatic animals);
- Genetic technology and methods (genomics, molecular marker development, environmental DNA, and other applications in fishery resource assessment);
- Conservation genetics (genetic conservation strategies, genetic resource bank construction, and restoration ecology of endangered or important species);
- Aquatic breeding and biotechnology (genetic improvement, disease resistance breeding, and molecular design breeding technology of economic species);
- Climate change and genetic responses (genetic adaptation mechanisms and prediction models of fishery resources to environmental changes);
- Policy and management (international regulations, ethical issues, and sustainable management practices for fisheries genetic resources).

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
