Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ensuring that there is an adequate supply of nutrients for aquatic animals would enhance their growth performance, immunity, disease resistance, stress resistance, reproduction and physical health. On the other hand, feed additives such as polysaccharides, antioxidants, probiotics, prebiotics and Chinese herbs, which are also known as immunostimulants, could significantly promote their immune response, disease resistance and stress resistance. The aim of this Special Issue is to publish original research papers or reviews concerning the nutrition of aquatic animals and the interrelations among nutrition, health and the environment.
