Vaccination is one of the most effective disease control strategies that has contributed to the
significant reduction of disease outbreaks and antibiotics usage in salmonid aquaculture. To …

Sequential hermaphroditism is a unique reproductive strategy among teleosts that is
displayed mainly in fish species living in the coral reef environment. The reproductive …

Parental experience with parasites and pathogens can lead to increased offspring
resistance to infection, through a process known as transgenerational immune priming …

Both innate and adaptive immune-relevant factors are transferred from mother to offspring in
fishes. These maternally-transferred factors include IgM, lysozymes, lectin, cathelicidin and …

While sexual dimorphism in immune responses has been documented in other vertebrates,
evidence for a similar phenomenon in fish is lacking. Here, we review the relationship …

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

How fish embryos that develop externally survive microbial attacks is poorly understood.
Here, we clearly demonstrated that the embryo extract of zebrafish and its early embryo both …

Infectious diseases are adversely affecting aquaculture practices throughout world and
Asian countries are no exception. Indian aquaculture practices are facing serious setback …

Abstract 16S rRNA gene sequencing and bacteria-and genus-specific quantitative PCR was
