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.
