Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the applied phycology and biotechnology of macroalgae. Macroalgae have diverse applications as a source of food and hydrocolloids, as animal feed additives, as fertilizer and soil conditioners, and as targets for novel bioactives and bioproducts. Macroalgae can also contribute to environmental outcomes, for example, through bioremediation and carbon capture and sequestration. We invite contributions from researchers in both academia and industry that report on or review advances in macroalgal applications and biotechnology. The scope of this Special Issue includes but is not limited to:
- Culture techniques and advances;
- Aquaculture and ocean farming;
- Closing lifecycles and seaweed hatcheries;
- Diversification of species for aquaculture and strain selection;
- Genetic advances and applications, including selective breeding techniques;
- Disease and contamination control and treatment;
- Environmental tolerances and effects on growth;
- Applied taxonomy;
- Macroalgal products;
- Biomass processing;

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. Phycology is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
