Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fish account for 20% of the global population’s animal protein intake. In particular, marine fish are unique and rich sources of omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (e.g., DHA, EPA) with beneficial effects on human health. Scientists believe that fish farming will constitute a much more important food and protein source in the future. An optimal nutrient supply is crucial to fish growth, health, and reproduction during farming. For a long time, the main focus of marine fish nutrition studies has been on nutrient requirements; however, in recent decades, the interaction between nutrition and physiology has drawn a great deal of attention. The digestion, absorption, and metabolism of nutrients are associated with physiological responses in fish. For instance, the questions of why high-carbohydrate feeds induce “diabetes” in fish, and whether fishmeal can be totally replaced by plant proteins, remain to be answered. This Special Issue aims to collect studies that focus on the physiology, biochemistry, and nutrition of marine fish.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering 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.
