Open Access
|Jul 2025

Abstract

Aquaculture production has increased more than threefold in the past 15 years and is expected to play an increasingly significant role in global seafood production. The aquaculture industry has a vital role in the global economy by providing a crucial source of protein for human consumption. However, this industry faces several challenges, such as environmental changes, pollution, infectious diseases, and management issues. To overcome these challenges and promote this industry, scientists have developed various vaccines and immune modulators that help improve growth rate, disease control, product quality, and overall economic growth. In recent years, the administration of irradiation techniques has attracted attention in fish industries. This review provides comprehensive evidence on the production and benefits of irradiated vaccines and immune modulators in the aquaculture industry, which offers a promising solution for enhancing the sustainability and profitability of aquaculture.
