Intestinal Health of Aquatic Organisms

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to explore the research advancements in gut health of aquatic organisms, focusing on the composition, function, and interactions of gut microbiota in aquatic species such as fish, crustaceans, and amphibians. As our understanding of microbial diversity and its ecological roles in aquatic ecosystems deepens, gut health has become an important indicator of growth, immunity and disease resistance in aquatic organisms. The composition of intestinal flora, probiotics, prebiotics and postbiotics have been the focus of intestinal health research for a long time. In recent years, the control of pathogenic bacteria in the intestine by bacteriophages is also a new hotspot. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and case studies that share the latest findings and technological innovations in the field of aquatic gut health, fostering scientific communication and collaboration in this vital area.
