Application of immunostimulants in aquaculture

Abstract

In aquaculture, immunostimulants activate the immune system of aquatic animals and enhance their disease resistance. The supplements of immunostimulants into aquatic feed have contributed to improving seed quality and production. Immunostimulants are now widely used for the aim of improving resistance, disease prevention and growth. They are now frequently used as alternatives for antibiotics, assisting in reducing antibiotic abuse in aquaculture, residues antibiotics in aquatic products, and ensuring food safety. In order to provide some scientific guidance for the research and efficient application of immunostimulants in aquaculture, this article will provide a summary of information on the purpose, role, and application of some immunostimulants.
