Microbiome of Finfish and Shellfish

This  book helps us to understand the importance of the microbiome associated  with finfish and shellfish inhabiting different locations and varied  environmental and biological situations. It covers modern molecular  tools for identifying microbiome composition and their precise  identification at the species level. The book also covers the molecular  structural composition of individual microbes, metabolite resources from  microbiome species, their functional properties, and production  aspects. Notable, the book covers the microbiome applications in the gut  systems of finfish and shellfish to the digestion, nutrition, growth,  reproduction, immune system, and vulnerability of the host to diseases.  It also reviews diversity and functional properties, relationships with  diseases, health status, data on species-specific metagenomics, and  probiotic research. It highlights the relevance of microbial communities  for the development of new and innovative bio-products to build bio and  pharmaceutical industries, including aquaculture. This book is an  invaluable source for researchers and professionals involved in fishery  science, fisheries and aquaculture, fish biotechnology, and fish  microbiology and pathology
