This review details the immune systems of European and Japanese eels, highlighting limited current knowledge on their cellular and humoral responses to pathogens. It synthesizes existing research and presents new data on eel immunity.

Area of Science:

  • Aquaculture
  • Immunology
  • Ichthyology

Background:

  • European eel (Anguilla anguilla) and Japanese eel (A. japonica) are crucial aquaculture species in Europe and Asia.
  • Significant research has explored eel immune responses to various pathogens.
  • Existing knowledge on cellular and humoral immunity in eels remains limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and synthesize current knowledge on the eel immune system.
  • To present new data on eel immune responses.
  • To address the knowledge gap in cellular and humoral immunity of cultured eel species.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review of eel immunology.
  • Inclusion of novel experimental data on eel immune responses.
  • Analysis of both cellular and humoral immune parameters.

Main Results:

  • Summarizes existing data on the immune system of Anguilla anguilla and A. japonica.
  • Presents new findings contributing to the understanding of eel immunity.
  • Identifies specific areas where immune responses are poorly understood.

Conclusions:

  • The eel immune system, particularly its cellular and humoral aspects, requires further extensive research.
  • Understanding eel immunity is vital for improving aquaculture health and disease management.
  • This review provides a foundation for future investigations into eel immune mechanisms.
