Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fishes represent an extremely diverse group that exist in the most extreme and fluctuating aquatic environments through unique morphological, physiological, and biochemical adaptations. They, like other animals, have developed antioxidant defenses designed to counteract oxidative stress, including enzymatic or nonenzymatic, as well as being a system for repairing molecules. However, the modern culture system in fish tends to be more intensive and stressful, which can cause an imbalance between antioxidant defenses and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that leads to adverse physiological and biochemical changes in fish.
Despite the extensive literature and research attempts regarding antioxidant machinery on biotic and abiotic factors, such as phylogenetic position, age, feeding behavior, environmental factors, presence of xenobiotics, etc., the data on the regulation of antioxidant defenses in fish are still limited at genetic and molecular levels. It is believed that a greater understanding of the genetic and molecular regulation of antioxidant defenses can provide a clue to restoring normal responses to oxidative damage in fish.
This Special Issue will deal with reports that involve the latest research findings on molecular and genetic regulation of fish antioxidant defenses against oxidative stress in fish farming and also welcomes papers on the genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics related to fish antioxidant defenses.

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. Antioxidants 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 2900 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.
