Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the success of the first edition of this Special Issue, "Value-added Products from Marine Fishes” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/marinedrugs/special_issues/6QMKRY15MS), we are delighted to announce a second edition on this topic.
The biodiversity of the marine environment and the associated chemical variety of marine organisms contribute to an enormous range of biological effects. Marine fishes are considered important sources of bioactive compounds with several biological activities, including anti-Alzheimer, anti-bacterial, anti-diabetic, anti-hypertensive, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, and anti-oxidant effects. Furthermore, the growing incidence of human chronic diseases is increasing the demand for new and safe therapeutics to treat and prevent health issues. Moreover, the inclusion of compounds from marine fishes can add value by incorporating environmental, social, cultural, or ethical value based on the use of sustainable resources.
This Special Issue will gather research on the potential use of natural compounds from marine fishes in applications in the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries. Therefore, we welcome original research articles and reviews focusing on value-added products and/or ingredients from marine fishes with potential health benefits.
