TL;DR: The clinical manifestations, pathology and electron microscopy observations supported by the RT-PCR analysis suggest that the nerve necrosis was due to nodavirus infection in the larvae of the Asian sea bass Lates calcarifer, the first report of piscine nodav virus infection from the Indian sub-continent.

TL;DR: The results of the study suggest that, new protocols have to be evolved for selection of microbe(s) as putative probiotics and that, detailed understanding of proven probiotics, employed presently on empirical basis may provide a clue on the selection procedure.

TL;DR: The viral, bacterial, fungal, protozoan and metazoan pathogens of mud crabs and their impact on the health of individuals and aquaculture are discussed.

TL;DR: Diets supplemented with either 1500 mg of Vitamin C or 50mg of Vitamin E kg(-1) produced the best antibody responses, final survival and protective response upon challenge, and memory factor reflecting immunological memory was superior in the fish fed vitamin-supplemented diets.

TL;DR: Temporal and tissue specific expression of Lc-icCuZnSOD was significantly differentially altered in Asian seabass challenged with Vibrio anguillarum indicating possible role in antioxidant activities involved in the innate immune defense mechanisms.
