Ecotoxicological Effects and Risk Assessment of Environmental Pollutants on Marine Organisms

Dear Colleagues,

One of the main areas of investigation is environmental pollution, particularly in aquatic environments. Environmental pollutants cause detrimental effects in both the adult phase and during development (as in larvae and fry) by penetrating and spreading across trophic webs.

There is a steady rise in the quantity of novel environmental pollutants that affect aquatic environments. Furthermore, their potential to have hazardous effects when combined with other contaminants presents a serious risk to public health.

We specifically need review articles and original research that address the processes involved in the effects of pollutants on marine species and the marine environment.

Publication of high-quality research studies directly pertaining to the following issues is encouraged. Innovative methods for research are welcomed.

• Marine pollutants;
• Environmental Risk Assessment;
• Aquatic ecotoxicology;
• Effects on aquatic organisms.

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering 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.
