Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aquatic organisms, unlike terrestrial animals, are surrounded by an aquatic environment, which includes freshwater, brackish and seawater. In order to adapt to these diverse environments, aquatic organisms have evolved various adaptations, from external to internal physiological regulation.
Metabolism is a fundamental characteristic of life maintenance, so a special metabolic regulation will occur in the face of biotic or abiotic adaptation or external adversity stimulation. Because of the high biodiversity of aquatic organisms, different metabolic patterns of adaptation have evolved.
In recent years, due to global change, water pollution and other environmental factors, aquatic organisms have had to adapt to these stressors. Aquatic economic species, which also play an important role in global food supply, are under these pressures and often suffer from diseases or growth disorders that reduce production, directly affecting the supply of high-value proteins from fisheries.
Therefore, this Special issue aims to showcase research on the metabolism of aquatic organisms, especially recent research on the regulation of aquatic organisms’ metabolism using -omic approaches, which can give a broad and precise point of view on metabolism.
