Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid development of aquaculture genetic breeding has brought about huge economic benefits to the global aquaculture industry. Along with the rapid development of biotechnologies, aquaculture genetic breeding has transformed from traditional selection breeding and hybrid breeding to cell engineering breeding, sex control breeding, marker-assisted selection breeding, genome-wide genotyping-based selective breeding, molecular design breeding, and genome editing breeding. Advances in basic research and the biotechnology of aquaculture genetic breeding have promoted the formation of the aquaculture seed industry across the globe.
This Special Issue aims to provide a snapshot of the current aquaculture genetic breeding methods, focusing on breeding technique, gene function, genomics, population genetics, genome editing, and so on. Contributions might shed light on the theoretical basis of the genetic breeding technology of aquatic organisms, explore novel breeding approaches, analyze the genetic mechanism of the formation of good traits, and so on. To progress the knowledge of such intricate issues, contributions by experts in the field in the form of research papers and critical reviews are invited.

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. 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.
