Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A biomarker can be defined as a quantitative measure of changes in molecular or cellular components, processes, structures and functions related to exposure to environmental chemicals. The use of biomarkers for the purpose of biomonitoring natural aquatic systems is useful to measure the degree of pollution of xenobiotics in aquatic organisms. Increased contamination of water resources and the potential risk to biodiversity conservation and human health become important in terms of the use of biomarkers.
In this Special Issue “Biomarkers of Stress Response in Aquatic Life”, we invite authors to submit papers that focus on the effects induced by the exposure of emerging aquatic pollutants in both marine and freshwater species; indicators of changes in ecosystems, biodiversity and environmental quality; impacts on aquatic ecosystems of aquaculture production factors, such as nutrition, reproduction or infectious diseases; and genetic and physiological changes of life in aquatic animals and plants in response to modifications of aquatic ecosystems.

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.
