Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As crucial sources of high-quality protein for humans, the production of shrimp and crab has experienced significant growth in recent years, with the global output reaching 11,237,000 tons in 2020. The industry’s value has exceeded USD 80 billion, as reported by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. However, as aquaculture continues to expand, the prevalence of diseases has also proliferated, posing a significant challenge to the sustainable development of the industry. It is crucial that we address this issue to ensure the continued progress and success of shrimp and crab farming.
We therefore cordially invite you to contribute your original research and insights regarding bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic diseases in shrimp and crab to this Special Issue. The topics of interest encompass, but are not limited to, epidemiological investigation, novel detection technologies, pathogen–host interaction mechanisms, the immune defense mechanisms of shrimp and crab, and the relationship between disease and environmental pressures.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
