Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Understanding the reproductive physiology of fish is crucial for enhancing aquaculture production, conserving endangered species, and managing wild populations. Fish exhibit diverse reproductive strategies influenced by environmental, hormonal, and genetic factors, making them an excellent model for studying reproductive biology. Despite significant progress, many aspects of fish reproductive physiology, such as endocrine regulation, environmental triggers, and the impact of stressors, remain underexplored.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive collection of studies that advance our understanding of the mechanisms underlying fish reproduction. We welcome original research articles, reviews, mini-reviews, and perspectives that explore various facets of fish reproductive physiology. Topics may include but are not limited to gonadal development, gametogenesis, reproductive endocrinology, spawning behavior, environmental influences on reproduction, and the impact of aquaculture practices on reproductive health.
This Special Issue will highlight innovative approaches and novel findings that can contribute to sustainable fish management and breeding programs.
We look forward to your valuable contributions to this Special Issue, which will provide an important platform for advancing the field of fish reproductive physiology.

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.
