Dear Colleagues,

The global warming it is already accepted as the main cause of climatic changes in our planet. In the ocean, the direct effect of the increase in greenhouse gas liberation is not only the increase in water temperature, but also the acidification of the waters. These two factors, and others, will account for numerous changes in each organism, at the population level, at the community level, or even at ecosystem level. If one species is more sensible and disappears from the community, and if it belongs to a basic level of the food chain, for example, all the equilibrium can be broken. New relationships will be established soon, and new parasitic relationships can be shown, probably with new host infections. These new connections are important to prevent, in order to better be able to control them in the near future and avoid serious fish diseases. Thus, we invite the researchers to share their knowledge in this Special Volume dedicated to “Fish Parasites under Climatic Changes”.
