Journal ArticleDOI
Innate immunity of fish (overview).
TL;DR: The innate immune system is the only defence weapon of invertebrates and a fundamental defence mechanism of fish and plays an instructive role in the acquired immune response and homeostasis and is therefore equally important in higher vertebrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current research status of fish immunostimulants
TL;DR: In conclusion, immunostimulants can reduce the losses caused by disease in aquaculture; however, they may not be effective against all diseases.

Dietary intake of immunostimulants by rainbow trout affects non-specific immunity and protection against furunculosis
TL;DR: A challenge with the virulent pathogen that causes furunculosis, Aeromonas salmonicida, showed that the immunostimulated groups of fish were more resistant to the disease, confirming the potential use of these substances in fish culture for the prevention of disease.

Impact of plant products on innate and adaptive immune system of cultured finfish and shellfish
TL;DR: The present review describes the role of medicinal herbs and their products on innate and adaptive immune response of finfish and shellfish and Administration of herbal extracts or their products at various concentrations through oral (diet) or injection route enhance the innate and adaptation immune response.
