Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Total dissolved gas (TDG) in a water system is supersaturated when the pressures of atmospheric gases exceed the barometric pressure. Such a situation can occur during water discharge from high dams, air injection into water under huge pressure, thermal increases in water, or due to other natural causes. TDG supersaturation has a negative impact on fish species, causing them to suffer from gas bubble disease, potentially resulting in mortality.
We are launching a Special Issue entitled “Response Behavior of Fish to Total Dissolved Gas” calling for attention on TDG supersaturation. This Special Issue focuses on the response mechanisms of fish to TDG supersaturation. Studies on the reproduction, growth, survival, movement, and other basic behaviors of fish of various species and at various life stages in TDG supersaturated water will be collected in this Special Issue. We also welcome studies exploring effective measures to mitigate the negative impact of TDG on fish. In addition, studies revealing the stress mechanisms of TDG supersaturation in fish with respect to biology and physiology are also encouraged.

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. Water is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
