Use of Immunostimulants in aquaculture disease management
نویسنده
چکیده
A number microbial components and plant products such as polysaccharides, lentinan, levamisole, schizophyllan, oligosaccharides, muramyl dipeptide and yeast derivatives have been used as immunostimulants in aquaculture to stimulate the innate immune system of fish and shrimp. Among the all the immunostimulants examined, Betaglucans were found to be most promising immunostimulants, which are used in aquaculture to control diseases.
