Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global commercial production of fish from capture fisheries and aquaculture is a vital future food source for human consumption, due to its high nutritional value and health benefits compared to those of other animals. However, to ensure production, these sectors have to tackle some future challenges, such as climate change and marine resource depletion. Fish nutrition is crucial to overcoming these challenges, as it can promote better growth and fish flesh quality, or can lead to stress in fish, affecting their physiology and metabolism. Research on fish nutrition focuses on nutrient requirements and metabolism, but recent decades have seen increased attention on the use of omics technologies (transcriptomics, metataxonomics, and metagenomics) to understand how fish respond to nutrient, dietary, and environmental changes. Thus, this Special Issue invites researchers to submit studies that delve into fish nutrition, metabolism, and physiology. Additionally, we welcome submissions focusing on the application of omics approaches in these areas, all with the ultimate aim of advancing knowledge about the global productive chain involving fish species.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
