This book is a collection of comprehensive and latest information
on all aspects of vaccination in fish and shellfish. It provides
the basic understanding about the immune system of both fish and
crustaceans, besides giving the latest information on adjuvants,
vaccine delivery methods, adverse effects of vaccines and methods
to assess the efficacy of vaccines. Separate chapters on the role
of pattern recognition receptors and interferons in fish
vaccination, biofilm vaccines and biosafety and regulatory
requirements for fish vaccines are also
included. Aquaculture, being the fastest growing food
producing industry in the world, is looked upon for alleviating the
malnutrition especially among the under privileged population.
However, intensive aquaculture practices have led to increased
incidences of diseases and significant production losses. Among
various health management measures employed in aquaculture,
vaccination has been proven to be the best approach to protect fish
against pathogens. It is considered to be safe and is a key factor
for sustainable aquaculture. In this background, apart from the
basic understanding of fish and shellfish immune system, updated
knowledge on various types of vaccines and the vaccination
strategies currently employed in aquaculture are also covered. The
book is designed to provide the latest and comprehensive knowledge
on all these aspects as a compiled resource material which is
useful to students, researchers and other professionals in the
field of aquaculture.
