Abstract
Recently, aquaculture has become more popular in the world. Intention has grown widely in the production of aquaculture including finfish and shellfish farming, to everyone's advantage. High stocking densities, controlled feeding and fertilization of fish have become standard husbandry practices in both farming systems, including fish and prawns farming. High stocking densities, controlled feeding and fertilization of fish have become standard husbandry practices in both farming systems, including fish and prawns farming. Increased culture and the appearance of economically significant microbial illnesses in farming ponds pose serious danger in the sector of aquaculture and field of fish farming. Fish and prawns have been treated with synthetic chemicals and antibiotics with at least sporadic success. A different approach has been to administer various chemicals to farm fish and prawn in order to improve or stimulate their innate immune systems. Due to their shown advantages in numerous biological systems, the application of immunostimulants for fish disease management in aquaculture and fish farming has recently been suggested.
