Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increase in shrimp consumption has led to the development of an extensive network of farms aiming to cover the current consumer demand. However, this fast development is often challenged by various pathogens (e.g., parasites) which can obscure this development in the absence of efficient control measures. The aim of this new topic is to publish recent developments in the area of alternatives to antibiotics in aquatic animals by looking into the biological mechanisms involved in their mode of action. We are also focusing on how novel alternatives can be used to prevent bacterial/viral and parasitic infections in aquaculture. Additionally, we will welcome science unfolding new management and the latest technological developments designed to increase biosecurity in aquaculture farming and improve performance.
