Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a forthcoming special issue in Fishes, titled "Recent Advances in Genetic Breeding and Healthy Aquaculture of Aquatic Organisms", and we invite you to contribute your expertise to this exciting endeavor.

This special issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research and innovations in the genetic breeding of aquatic organisms. We seek contributions that delve into various aspects of genetic breeding and healthy aquaculture, including but not limited to selective breeding strategies, molecular techniques, advancements in genomic tools, aquaculture strategies and sustainable aquaculture. Our objective is to provide a comprehensive overview of recent developments that contribute to the sustainable management and enhancement of aquatic species.

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. Fishes 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.

This study evaluated the disparities in growth performance and nutritional composition between two common Chinese mitten crab varieties, “Jianghai 21” and “Changjiang 2”, cultured in Jiangxi Province. Over the breeding period, parameters such as body weight, height, carapace length and width, and lengths of the second and third legs exhibited increases. Growth indices of “Jianghai 21” surpassed those of “Changjiang 2” during the intermediate and late breeding phases. While “Changjiang 2” demonstrated significantly higher crude lipid content than “Jianghai 21”, the latter exhibited markedly higher levels of total amino acids (TAAs), essential amino acids (EAAs), and delectable amino acids. Although overall nutrient composition did not significantly differ, TAA and EAA contents in the hepatopancreas were notably greater in “Jianghai 21” than in “Changjiang 2”. Moreover, a total of 901 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between the two varieties, with 560 upregulated and 341 downregulated. These DEGs were primarily associated with pathways related to fatty acid degradation, metabolism, and growth regulation. The observed variances in growth performance and nutrient composition between “Jianghai 21” and “Changjiang 2” suggest potential regulation by relevant genes. In summary, the results showed that the growth performance of “Jianghai 21” is greater than that of “Changjiang 2”, offering valuable insights for the selection of aquaculture varieties in the region.
