“…Edwardsiellosis, caused by E. tarda , is one of the most severe diseases in the Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus . Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) expression was increased in fish infected with E. tarda , compared to that in control fish [ 16 ]. The expression levels of Cu, Zn–superoxide dismutase (Cu, Zn–SOD) in fish increased after infection.…”

“…The expression levels of Cu, Zn–superoxide dismutase (Cu, Zn–SOD) in fish increased after infection. In contrast, the expression level of Mn–SOD in fish gradually increased after infection and remained high between 24 and 48 h post-infection [ 16 ].…”

“…Accordingly, it is thought that effective supplements, such as probiotics, vaccines, vitamins, peptides, lipids, nucleotides, and disease treatments, such as antibiotics, are needed for successful aquaculture [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. Infectious diseases are one of the primary contributors to economic loss in the aquaculture industry [ 10 , 16 ]. Antibiotics have been used to prevent disease and improve feed efficiency in fish [ 17 , 18 , 19 ].…”

Carotenoids, one of the most common types of natural pigments, can influence the colors of living organisms. More than 750 kinds of carotenoids have been identified. Generally, carotenoids occur in organisms at low levels. However, the total amount of carotenoids in nature has been estimated to be more than 100 million tons. There are two major types of carotenoids: carotene (solely hydrocarbons that contain no oxygen) and xanthophyll (contains oxygen). Carotenoids are lipid-soluble pigments with conjugated double bonds that exhibit robust antioxidant activity. Many carotenoids, particularly astaxanthin (ASX), are known to improve the antioxidative state and immune system, resulting in providing disease resistance, growth performance, survival, and improved egg quality in farmed fish without exhibiting any cytotoxicity or side effects. ASX cooperatively and synergistically interacts with other antioxidants such as α-tocopherol, ascorbic acid, and glutathione located in the lipophilic hydrophobic compartments of fish tissue. Moreover, ASX can modulate gene expression accompanying alterations in signal transduction by regulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Hence, carotenoids could be used as chemotherapeutic supplements for farmed fish. Carotenoids are regarded as ecologically friendly functional feed additives in the aquaculture industry.
