Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce a Special Issue entitled the "Chemical Biology of Marine Fishes," which focuses on the diverse and dynamic aspects of fish biology through the lens of chemistry. This Special Issue aims to highlight groundbreaking research in areas including diversity, communication, evolution, ecology, behavior, pollution, aquacultural engineering, and practical applications of chemical interactions in fish.
Fish exhibit a fascinating array of chemical interactions that influence their behavior, physiology, and ecological roles. Understanding these interactions is crucial for unraveling the complexities of aquatic ecosystems and addressing challenges in fish conservation and aquaculture. This Special Issue seeks to publish high-quality, novel research exploring chemical cues, signals, and mechanisms underlying fish communication, mating behaviors, predator–prey interactions, habitat selection, solitary or social behaviors, and their evolutionary perspectives. Studies on the impact of pollutants on fish physiology and behavior, as well as innovations in aquacultural practices through chemical biology, are particularly welcome.
Submissions of original research articles, short communications, and review articles providing new insights into the chemical biology of fish are invited. Contributions that offer practical applications or suggest future research directions are highly encouraged. This Special Issue will serve as a comprehensive resource for scientists and practitioners aiming to enhance their understanding and management of fish populations in diverse environments.
Your contributions to this exciting and rapidly evolving field are eagerly anticipated.
Sincerely,
Dr. Hangkyo Lim
Guest Editor
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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
