provide the primary defence against different pathogenic microbes and act as a barrier …

Fish antimicrobial peptides (AMP s) are small peptides whose actions have great
implications in the innate immune response of teleost fish, being considered critical as the …

Fish skin mucus contains several immune substances that provide the first line of defence
against a broad spectrum of pathogens although they are poorly studied to date. Terminal …

Simple Summary Activities such as the digestion and absorption of feeds occur into the

The purpose of this chapter is to provide readers with a general overview of the fish immune
system, including commonalities and particularities in comparison with higher vertebrate …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are considered to be amongst the most powerful tools for the
fight against pathogens in fish, since they form part of the innate immune response, which is …

Fish, like all other animals, are exposed to constant contact with microbes, both on their skin
