Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aquaculture is an ever-growing field, constantly striving to ameliorate and increase production in order to meet consumers’ needs and requests. In order to do so, it is mandatory to deepen the knowledge regarding the physiology and endocrinology of the reproduction of aquatic species, which are currently lacking in pivotal data. Indeed, one of the biggest challenges is represented by the extreme variability in fish biology, capable of showing an impressively wide array of reproductive patterns, often impossible to reproduce in farm settings. It is also important to mention that fish reproduction comprises other fields, such as laboratory animal science and aquariology, rather than just food production.
The present Special Issue will collect studies aiming to characterize the reproductive biology of fish in all its aspects, by means of physiological and endocrinological investigations. Trials performed in both laboratory and farming settings, ranging from molecular to behavioral studies, will be considered in order to try to gain new insights regarding the physiology of fish reproduction useful for aquaculture.

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. Animals is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
