Special issue - Fish Reproduction in a Changing World: Physiology, Conservation and Stressors

Edited by CryoStore participant Dr. Amin Sayyari

The special issue will be published in Frontiers in Fish Science.

The issue welcomes submissions addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:

i) Reproductive physiology: HPG-axis regulation, endocrine signaling, gametogenesis, and fertilization

ii) Impacts of anthropogenic and environmental stressors: temperature rise, hypoxia, acidification, salinity and flow changes, multi-class contaminant mixtures (EDCs, PFAS, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, metals), micro/nanoplastics, noise, and light pollution

iii) Biomarkers, adverse outcome pathways (AOPs), epigenetics, and transgenerational effects

iv) Biotechnologies for aquaculture: spawning control, broodstock nutrition and welfare, genomics, phenotyping, gene editing, hatchery and recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) optimization, and decision support

v) Conservation strategies: genetic management, supportive breeding, assisted reproduction, policy, and ethics

vi) Cryopreservation and biobanking: protocol development, quality control and assurance, and FAIR data management
