Marine Fish and Invertebrate Aquaculture

Dear Colleagues,

Marine aquaculture has received a great deal of attention in the context of global food security in the past 40 years. Since then, there has been extensive research on various aspects of marine invertebrates and fish production regarding the building capacity, and recently on the adaptation to the climate change. The decade 2021–2030 is characterized by the United Nations as a decade of ecosystem restoration. A range of aquaculture techniques and methodologies could enhance this effort, providing food, ecosystem services, and socio-ecological resilience. The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish the most exciting research studies with respect to the above subjects; to provide a rapid turn-around time regarding reviewing and publishing; and to disseminate the articles freely for research, teaching, and reference purposes.

High quality papers are encouraged for publication, including those directly related to various aspects, as mentioned below. Novel techniques for the study of marine aquaculture are encouraged.

Topics include:

• Marine invertebrates and fish culture;
• Intergraded multi-trophic aquaculture;
• Aquaculture environmental interactions;
• Novel techniques/products/aquaculture applications (i.e., artificial intelligence, RAS, new species, vaccines, fish feeds, etc.);
• Eco-physiology of marine-farmed species;
• Case studies/mass mortalities/diseases;
• Farmed species genetics and microbiota;
• Conservation aquaculture (for endangered species);
• Marine bio-fouling invasion effects on aquaculture;
• Aquaculture risk analysis;
• Aquaculture value chain
