Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The term holobiont has been adopted to describe multicellular organisms and their associated microbiota as a single unit, recognizing the pivotal role of microorganisms in host biology. Thus, understanding aquaculture species from the holobiont perspective could provide new insights and solutions for the present and future issues affecting the industry. This Special Issue aims to bring together cutting-edge research into the understanding of the microbiota and its relevance for aquaculture species, including, but not limited to, the characterization of microbiota dynamics in aquaculture species, experimental manipulations of host microbiota, and the relevance of microbiota in environmental adaptation of aquatic species, among others.
By fostering collaboration among researchers in microbiology, immunology, and aquaculture. The findings will contribute to the development of sustainable practices and ensure the health and productivity of aquaculture environments.
