Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid development of genetics and genomics, the mechanisms involved in primary sex determination and differentiation in aquatic animals are now beginning to be defined. A lot of gonadal differentiation types and sex determination mechanisms have been described in aquatic animals. Sex determination in aquatic animals is a very flexible process. For instance, according to the role of temperature in sex determination, the sex-determining mechanisms in fish can be broadly classified as genotypic (GSD), temperature (TSD), or genotypic plus temperature effects (GSD + TE). Research on the genetic basis and potential mechanisms of sex determination and differentiation is necessary for application in aquaculture and species conservation. In recent decades, remarkable progress has been achieved in the genetics and genomics of sex determination and differentiation in aquatic animals. For this Special Issue, we will present state-of-the-art articles on the genetics and genomics of sex determination in aquatic animals, assembling the most recent advances in our field in one place.

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. Genes 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.
