Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aquaculture plays a crucial role in meeting the growing global demand for seafood while alleviating the pressure on wild fish and shellfish populations. It has become a fundamental industry for sustainable food production and economic prosperity. However, ensuring the health and well-being of marine fish and shellfish within aquaculture systems is of the utmost importance for the long-term viability of this sector. In light of these considerations, this Special Issue aims to delve into the multifaceted aspects of fish and shellfish health, encompassing disease prevention, immunization strategies, and the impact of aquaculture practices on fish well-being. By exploring these interrelated factors, the Special Issue strives to advance our understanding of marine fish and shellfish health and bolster the sustainability of aquaculture operations.
Building upon the aforementioned, this Special Issue aims to encompass the latest advancements in the field of marine fish and shellfish health, immunization, and aquaculture. It serves as a platform for researchers to present their cutting-edge findings, methodologies, and innovative approaches. The scope of the Special Issue encompasses an array of topics, including but not limited to:
- Importance of immunization in promoting fish and shellfish health and disease resistance;
- Emerging diseases in marine fish and shellfish populations and their impact on aquaculture;
- Immune system responses of marine fish and shellfish to pathogens and vaccines;
- Influence of environmental factors on fish and shellfish health in aquaculture systems;
- Disease prevention strategies in marine fish and shellfish farms;
- Genetic factors affecting fish and shellfish health and immunization;
- Sustainable aquaculture practices and their impact on fish and shellfish health and immunization;
- Innovative technologies for monitoring, diagnosing, and managing diseases in marine aquaculture.
Through the exploration of these critical areas, the Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent developments in marine fish and shellfish health, immunization, and aquaculture, while fostering knowledge exchange and promoting advancements in the field.
