Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aquaculture will face the effects of long-term climate change. The upcoming challenges, such as the increase in global temperature, will affect the world’s offshore and inland aquaculture production, testing the resilience of domesticated fish species. As ectotherms, fish body temperature is equivalent to the surrounding water temperature. Increasing temperatures affect fish physiology and behavior through increases in metabolic demands, but also having an evident impact on nutrient utilization and growth. This Special Issue features a wide range of research papers exploring how to promote climate-resilient adaptations in farmed fish from early developmental stages, helping to improve aquaculture sustainability and food security under changing environmental conditions.
