Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As fish is a key species group in freshwater ecosystems, it plays an important role in the health of aquatic ecosystems. With this Special Issue of Water, we offer a platform for the publication of innovative original articles and reviews regarding the ecology of freshwater fish. The scope of this Special Issue includes all aspects of fish and other aquatic animals (crab, shrimps and crayfish) ecology in freshwater environments, including lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams, ponds and marshes. Research papers including, but not limited to, ecologically oriented studies of behaviour, conservation, feeding, genetics, life history, physiology, host–parasite interactions and the function of fish in aquatic resource sustainable use and environment restoration are welcomed. Studies involving population ecology and community ecology are also of interest, as are evolutionary approaches including studies which focus on population biology, evolutionary ecology, behavioural ecology, historical ecology, conservation of endangered aquatic animals and the sustainable utilisation of bio-resources in fisheries.
