Area of Science:

  • Aquatic biology
  • Immunology
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Fish diseases pose significant challenges to aquaculture development.
  • Disease outbreaks are often triggered by environmental and endogenous factors, leading to opportunistic infections.
  • Stress responses in fish involve complex interactions between the endocrine and immune systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and update current knowledge on endocrine-immune interactions in fish.
  • To highlight the role of hormones, cytokines, and their receptors in mediating these interactions.
  • To emphasize the molecular-level understanding of these communication pathways.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent studies on fish stress response.
  • Analysis of research on molecular mechanisms of endocrine-immune communication.

  • Synthesis of information on hormones, cytokines, and receptors in teleost fish.

    • Main Results:

    • Bidirectional communication exists between endocrine and immune systems in teleost fish.
    • Immune cells can produce or express hormones and receptors, and vice versa.
    • This communication is crucial for information exchange between the two systems.

    Conclusions:

    • Endocrine-immune interactions are vital in fish health and disease.
    • Understanding these pathways, including mediators and receptors, is essential for aquaculture.
    • Further research at the molecular level will advance disease prevention and management strategies.
