Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the pathways, receptors, and mechanisms
involved in teleost fish which form an excellent model to reveal phylogenetically old and …

Innate immune factors play a crucial role in survival of young fish especially during early
stages of life when adaptive immunity is not fully developed. In the present study, we …

Early disease prevention by vaccination requires understanding when fry fish develop
specific immunity to a given pathogen. In this research, we explored the immune responses …

Defense mechanisms in developing fish are poorly known but before maturation of lymphoid
organs and immunocompetence, innate mechanisms are essential. The complement system …

This study aimed to evaluate the impacts of dietary astaxanthin supplementation on
hematology, blood biochemistry and innate immunity of Asian seabass Lates calcarifer, with …

The effectiveness of immunostimulation and vaccination of cultured fish heavily depends on
the degree of maturity of their immune system. In this review, we summarise the recent data …

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is kind of a common mycotoxin in food and feedstuff. Aquafeeds are
susceptible to contamination of AFB1. In teleost fish, the spleen and head kidney are key …

Fish skin is the largest immunologically active mucosal organ, providing first-line defense
against external pathogens. However, the skin-associated immune mechanisms of fish are …

Reflecting the natural biology of mass spawning fish aquaculture production of fish larvae is
often hampered by high and unpredictable mortality rates. The present study aimed to …

Immunostimulation by plant-derived compounds presents a fascinating alternative to
vaccines and antibiotics in aquaculture. Fish farmers are longing for immunostimulants that …
