Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the context of the world it is essential to invest in the production of animal protein, including aquaculture, with marine and coastal fish farming constituting a promising activity for the production of fish with high nutritional value. This activity contributes significantly to the minimization of the harmful effects of overexploitation on fish stocks of commercial interest. Marine and coastal aquaculture potential has grown, with the knowledge and improvement of cultivation strategies and techniques, from breeding to fattening, being necessary to achieve a high level of sustainable fish production with high nutritional content and benefits to human health. The production of live food in the larval stage should be highlighted, aiming to optimize survival, weight gain, genetic improvement, sanity and biotechnology developments. This Special Issue invites the submission of original research or review papers that highlight fish farming techniques and feed quality methods to achieve high-quality fish production, contributing to global food demands and nutritional security.

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).

The Kirchhoff-Ray-Mode (KRM) model has been used in fishery acoustics for more than two decades to predict backscatter by individuals or aggregations of swimbladdered fish. Backscatter contributions from a fluid-like fish body and gas-filled swimbladder are coherently summed to estimate backscatter from the whole fish. For field applications, where morphologies and orientations of individual fish and their swimbladders are unknown, the coherent KRM model based on a limited number of X-ray images containing precise morphological information on swimbladders, body sizes and orientations may not provide statistically stable and robust backscatter predictions. An incoherent KRM model is proposed, which is independent of the exact knowledge of body–swimbladder acoustic interactions. When backscatter contributions from fish bodies and swimbladders are comparable, differences in coherent and incoherent KRM model target strength (TS) predictions can be as high as a few decibels. Incoherent TS predictions as a function of frequency and orientation are statistically more stable and less sensitive to variations in anatomy among individual fish than those predicted using the traditional coherent KRM model.

World aquaculture is increasingly diversified and intensive, due to the use of new technologies, having grown a lot in recent decades and contributed significantly to improving food security and reducing poverty in the world, with fish farming being a promising activity for the production of protein with high nutritional value. The large aquaculture companies that recognize the potential of this important modality have invested in the study and production of various productive segments of the most diverse species of fish. This review article aims to provide information on the world panorama of marine fish farming, with the main systems and production stages of the most important organisms with commercial potential, aiming to achieve a highly sustainable production, with high nutritional content and benefits for human health. The production of live feed in the larval stage should be highlighted, in order to optimize survival and weight gain. In addition, trends in the cultivation of estuarine and saltwater fish will be detailed in this review, such as the use of biotechnology and technological innovations, cultivations integration, and biosecurity. Thus, innovative methods to optimize the farming system need to be more ecosustainable, reducing the negative impacts on the environmental level. Full article
