This book is about relevant recent research topics in understanding
aquaculture for practical approaches; aquatic science, engineering,
feed and nutrition, immunology and health are reviewed. The book
includes information on why certain fish strains differ in disease
resistance, all the current data on fish cell populations, the
regulation of the response by factors, and the major
histocompatibility complex are explained in detail. The book
contains the chapters on nutrition, feed and feed additives,
ecology, immunology, microbiology, toxicology, biochemistry,
nanotechnology, pharmacology, and biotechnology, among other fields
of basic and applied research. Over the past era, scientists have
recognized the importance of nutrition in maintaining the health of
humans and other animal species, including fish. Humans and other
terrestrial animals were the focus of previous research on the
links between nutrition, immune response, and disease resistance.
However, attempts to conduct similar studies using fish have met
with limited success in the last two decades due to a lack of
understanding of the immune response in fish. In most facilities,
the animals are kept at relatively high densities, causing stress
and disease problems are the challenges that we face today and this
book opens up the exciting new area of research to truly understand
the relationship between fish genetics and immune reactivity. The
aquatic immune system turns out to be a crucial reference as
aquatic products are increasingly used as model systems for
vertebrate immune systems. This book provides that the research
students and scientists with a useful text on the latest knowledge
of the aquatic feed and nutrition, immune system, cutting-edge
technologies, draws everyone's attention to the practice of
small-scale aquaculture and provides a guide on how to responsibly
use the water ecosystem and the steps needed to develop, test and
market fish vaccines. The chapters will serve as introductions to
these fields and up-to-date reviews of recent research advances.
This book is intended for a wide range of readers, including
nutritionists, disease specialists, feed formulators, students,
extension specialists, and farmers, as well as university teachers,
graduates and doctoral students in zoology, physiology,
aquaculture, and biology in general.
