Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on two major research areas: genomic prediction/selection and functional genomics in aquaculture. We call for review and research papers in relation to these main themes. Topics considered by this Issue include but are not restricted to the following:
- Genomic prediction for complex quantitative traits of commercial importance in aquaculture species
- Development and use of advanced on-farm data collection systems for improving aquaculture breeding programs;
- Relationship between genotype and phenotype on a genome-wide (genome-, transcriptome-, proteome-, metabolome or epigenome-wide) scale.
- Utilization of ‘natural’ genetic variation (germplasm, diversity, genetically divergent populations to identify useful alleles) to enhance aquaculture breeding
- Functional genomic resources, such as expressed sequence tags, full-length cDNAs, and gene expression profiles (transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome)
- Understanding and manipulating key biological genetic pathways for genetic improvement of important aquaculture species
- RNA silencing and CRISPR/CAS9 applications in aquaculture
- Bioinformatics tools that integrate and analyze data obtained from multiple ‘omics’ platforms
- Improving aquaculture genetic improvement programs through the incorporation of G×E effects.

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
