Dear Colleagues,

We are preparing a Special Issue on the “Enhancing Shrimp Growth and Immunity through Feed Additives”. link: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/fishes/special_issues/64T2P2I7AA

Shrimp are invertebrate organisms and, therefore, rely only on the innate immune response. Thus, alternative strategies are required to prevent and control the numerous diseases that impact the shrimp farming industry worldwide. Feed additives are widely used to enhance shrimp health and growth performance, comprising an important strategy for the industry. These additives include several classes of compounds, molecules, or organisms, which can be immunomodulators, disease resistance promoters, intestinal flora balancers, nutritional, sensory, digestive and growth enhancers.

Thus, the aim of this issue is to provide up-to-date information on the enhancement of shrimp growth and immunity through feed additives. We welcome the submission of original research articles, short communication, reviews, and mini-reviews on topics including, but not limited to, the following: (1) feed additives and growth performance; (2) feed additives and immunity and disease resistance; (3) feed additives and shrimp microbiota; (4) feed additives and stress resistance; (5) fermented ingredients as feed additive.
