Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Marine fish farming is an emerging discipline gradually established with the development of fishery production. It studies the biology of economic fish farming, various farming production methods, and the production techniques and theoretical foundations of artificial breeding, seedling cultivation, and adult fish farming. Currently, many countries attach great importance to the development of marine fish farming and have made significant progress, including research on the lifestyle, habits, and adaptability of marine fish to the external environment; research on the growth, development, and reproduction patterns of major economic fish species; and research on the relationship between external factors that affect their lives, such as water temperature, salinity, and bait. This Special Issue invites research papers and reviews on multidisciplinary topics in the broad field of the aquaculture and reproduction of marine fishes.

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. Fishes 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.

Emerging evidence shows that N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a post-transcriptional RNA modification that plays a vital role in regulation of gene expression, fundamental biological processes, and physiological functions. To explore the effect of starvation on m6A methylation modification in the liver of Larimichthys crocea (L. crocea) under low temperatures, the livers of L. crocea from cold and cold + fasting groups were subjected to MeRIP-seq and RNA-seq using the NovaSeq 6000 platform. Compared to the cryogenic group, the expression of RNA methyltransferases mettl3 and mettl14 was upregulated, whereas that of demethylase fto and alkbh5 was downregulated in the starved cryogenic group. A Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis showed that the differentially m6A-modified genes were mainly enriched in steroid biosynthesis, DNA replication, ribosome biogenesis in eukaryotes, PPAR, ECM-receptor interaction, lysine degradation, phosphatidylinositol, and the MAPK signaling pathway, suggesting that L. crocea responds to starvation under low-temperature stress through m6A methylation modification-mediated cell growth, proliferation, innate immunity, and the maintenance of lipid homeostasis. This study advances understanding of the physiological response mechanism exerted by m6A methylation modification in starved L. crocea at low temperatures. Full article
