Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aquatic products are globally acknowledged as a vital source of high-quality animal protein and an important part of the food supply, playing a key role in global food and nutrition security. Currently, aquaculture accounts for over 50% of fish production. However, aquatic animal health and disease have emerged as major constraints to sustainable aquaculture practices. To ensure the sustainable development of the aquaculture industry, it is imperative to prioritize healthy farming practices along with effective disease prevention and control measures. In recent years, remarkable progress has been made in the selection and breeding of excellent aquatic species, aquaculture environment regulation technology, aquaculture management technology, and disease control. However, healthy aquaculture still faces challenges, I am pleased to invite you to actively contribute to this Special Issue of Fishes entitled “Healthy Aquaculture and Disease Control”. This Special Issue aims to collect studies (original research articles, perspectives, reviews, and mini-reviews) that focus on the innovative healthy farming models, research and development of aquatic probiotics, plant extracts, immunomodulators, and vaccine development.
