Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Fishes play an essential role in safeguarding food security and nutrition for human beings. According to FAO’s State of the World’s Fisheries and Aquaculture 2022, aquaculture accounted for 56 percent of the total aquatic animal food production available for human consumption, while the total production of cultured fish is expected to reach 100 million tons for the first time in 2027 and 106 million tons in 2030. As the fastest-growing food system on the planet, the sustainability of aquaculture development has attracted worldwide attention.

Great progress has been made in genomics research of aquaculture species during the past decade. Further investigations into fish genomes, including genes, pathways, and their regulatory networks, are able to facilitate our understanding of related biological processes and hopefully guide good practices toward sustainable aquaculture, such as selective breeding, conservation of aquatic genetic resources, precision nutrition and eco-friendly fish feed, biosecurity, antimicrobial resistance prevention, adaptation and mitigation for climate change, etc.

We are currently inviting submissions of research papers and reviews for this Special Issue on “Functional Genomics for Sustainable Aquaculture”. Studies on aquaculture species using various –omics technologies are warmly welcome.

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.

The brown frog (Rana dybowskii) exhibits a wide distribution and is extensively cultured in northeast China. This species undergoes a prolonged period of hibernation lasting from several months to half a year. The frog’s fallopian tubes are considered a valuable tonic medicine known as “Oviducts Ranae” in traditional Chinese medicine. To enhance comprehension of the molecular mechanism underlying the process of emergence from hibernation, a transcriptome-based comparative analysis was performed on differentially expressed genes (DEGs) across various organs of female frogs during hibernation and upon emergence. The organs examined encompassed the brain, liver, spleen, fallopian tube, and ovary. Subsequently, GO and KEGG enrichment analyses were performed to gain further insights into these DEGs. A total of 51,634 transcripts were identified in all five tissues. The spleen exhibited the highest number of DEGs, with 3651 members, while the liver, brain, and fallopian tube had 3182, 3115, and 3186 DEGs, respectively. The ovary had the lowest number of DEGs, with only 1661. Interestingly, only 45 genes were found to be differentially expressed in all five tissues, and GO enrichment analysis revealed distinct functional differences among the DEGs in the various tissues. Only two meaningful DEG-enriched KEGG pathways, “00310 Lysine degradation” and “05202 Transcriptional misregulation in cancer”, were present in all five tissues, and the pathway “B 09182 Protein families: genetic information processing” was significantly enriched in four tissues except the ovary, and it had the most enriched DEGs. Our findings offer insights to grasp the factors that need to be controlled in the design of overwintering sites and offer a novel perspective for the conservation and management of the overwintering population of female R. dybowskii.
