Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Regardless of the various concepts and terminologies applied, stress and stressors have long been investigated in marine and freshwater ichthyology as part of our evolution. This multidisciplinary field involves researchers examining the effects of stress on aquatic organisms. However, in recent years, a range of compounds, such as phthalates, the bisphenol family, pharmaceuticals, nanomaterials, a new generation of pesticides, industrial pollutants, personal care products, etc., now known as "emerging" compounds, have taken precedent in the literature since their direct or indirect effects on the aquatic ecosystem and human health remain unknown. Furthermore, the toxicity of chemical, physical and biological agents increases in direct proportion to the development of science and technology, making an increasing number of natural or synthetic products available to the population in the form of food, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and personal care compounds. On the other hand, fish constitute a class of organisms with the greatest taxonomic and habitat diversity on the planet. Moreover, they represent the impact of human activities on aquatic ecosystems and productive systems. Therefore, the complexity of this topic makes it a real challenge to update scientific knowledge on the range of emerging biotic and abiotic factors to which the environment and organisms are subjected. In this context, this Special Issue of Fishes offers its readers a broad approach to "Physiological Changes in Fish Exposed to Emerging Stressors" to support new debates and advance knowledge on this broad topic. We hope that you enjoy this great read!
