Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nutrition is one of the most important factors affecting the immunity and disease resistance of aquatic animals. Nutritional balance is the basic element for aquatic animals to obtain superior immunity. On the other hand, feed additives such as polysaccharides, antioxidants, probiotics, prebiotics and Chinese herbs, found to promote the immune response and stress resistance, are used as immunostimulants for aquatic animals. These studies will promote the green and sustainable development of aquaculture. Therefore, we are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue “Nutrition and Immune Responses in Aquatic Animals” of the journal Fishes.
