Abstract

Aquaculture has increased dramatically over the last few decades to cover the food gap and meet the human need for high-quality protein. Nowadays, intensification, zero water exchange, artificial feeding, and fertilization have become common breeding practices in aquaculture to improve overall production. However, some major obstacles in these sectors occur often. Among them, the presence of opportunistic pathogens and adverse water quality are hindrances and associated with the cause of mortalities. The frequent use of antibiotics, chemotherapeutic agents, and vaccines to mitigate infectious diseases has been recently criticized for the risks to aquaculture and public health. Therefore, inexpensive and effective alternatives are ultimately needed to replace these antimicrobial compounds. This chapter explores the use of promising functional components in aquaculture to control pathogens and boost aquatic animal immunity. These compounds combat pathogens by activating cellular, humoral, and specific immunity of aquatic species. In addition, there is no doubt that there are compromises to quality and environmental stability, which reflect various public health concerns and economic losses.
