Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid development of aquaculture has placed increasing emphasis on precise nutrition, efficient feed utilization, and improved fish health and welfare. Recent advances in nutritional biochemistry, molecular biology, and omics technologies have greatly expanded our understanding of how dietary factors influence intestinal function, metabolic regulation, stress resilience, and genetic expression in farmed fish.
This Special Issue aims to gather cutting-edge research that explores the interactions between fish nutrition, gut physiology, molecular regulatory mechanisms, and overall health and welfare. Studies addressing innovative feed ingredients, nutrient–gene interactions, stress adaptation, and the development of nutrition-based strategies to enhance aquaculture sustainability are particularly welcome.
Original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and short communications covering the following themes are encouraged. Contributions that integrate multi-omics, functional validation, or applied nutrition approaches to improve fish performance and welfare are especially appreciated.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
