Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bioremediation technologies are pivotal for mitigating the environmental impact of aquaculture pollutants. As intensive aquaculture operations expand, they release significant amounts of organic waste, nitrogen, and phosphorus, contributing to eutrophication and ecological degradation. A diverse suite of bioremediation strategies—including the use of microbial additives, biofilm-based systems, constructed wetlands, and integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA)—has been developed to address these challenges. This Special Issue brings together recent advances in the application of these biological treatment systems, highlighting mechanisms of pollutant removal, system design and optimization, microbial community interactions, and real-world implementation. Studies demonstrate that bioremediation not only reduces nutrient loads but also supports sustainable water reuse and ecosystem health. Future efforts should focus on enhancing the efficiency and resilience of these systems through functional microbe regulation, process integration, and smart management practices. This collection offers a scientific foundation for advancing the practical application of bioremediation in global aquaculture.

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. Toxics 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.
