Proteomic and Metabolomic Analyses of Fisheries and Aquaculture

Dear Colleagues,

Aquaculture is an intensive and fast-growing industry that is designed to cope with a high demand for fish products. It is estimated that aquaculture can provide 62 percent of the total fish consumption by 2030. The latest guidelines for animal welfare, food safety, and the environment, besides consumer’s acceptance of farmed fish, are a challenge for the industry. Nutritional studies provide data about more sustainable ingredients in feeds, improving the production efficiency and fishes’ health/performance, which, therefore, comply with the sustainable development goals of the United Nations 2030 agenda. Furthermore, cutting-edge technologies like proteomics and metabolomics contribute to the study of fishes’ performance and welfare.

This Special Issue of Metabolites on proteomic and metabolomic analyses of fisheries and aquaculture will focus on studies of fish tissues and fluids resulting from wild fisheries and/or fish farming practices, including nutritional and welfare studies. In addition, new methods and data analysis concepts will be presented.

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. Metabolites is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
