Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fisheries stock assessment and modeling involves research of an interdisciplinary nature, fostering a holistic understanding of math, statistics, fish stocks, biology, ecology, and socio-economic dimensions. This article collection aims to showcase cutting-edge research and methodologies dedicated to understanding and managing fish populations. By integrating advanced modeling techniques with fisheries and survey data, the contributors explore the intricate interplay between environmental factors, fishing pressure, and biological processes that shape fish stocks. From population dynamics, spatial distribution, spatial–temporal dynamics, and state-space models to Bayesian hierarchical modeling and nonstationary models, we welcome articles offering valuable insights that will be crucial to bettering fish stock assessments and sustainable fisheries management. Additionally, this Special Issue welcomes studies addressing the pressing challenges of climate change and data limitations, highlighting the need for modeling and adaptive strategy evaluation in the face of shifting oceanic conditions and/or situations of limited information.

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.
