Biocontrol is a key strategy for disease control, as it is environmentally friendly and widely applicable. This review elaborates on biocontrol in aquaculture, particularly in shrimp culture. Biocontrol in shrimp culture mainly relies on four strategies: (i) direct kill pathogen by Bdellovibrio or bacteriophages; (ii) suppression of intestinal pathogens with probiotics; (iii) reduction of environmental pathogens via probiotics...

Megalocytivirus, a large double‐stranded DNA virus belonging to the Iridoviridae family, has infected over 100 species of fish, leading to significant economic losses in the aquaculture, food, and ornamental fish industries. These viruses exhibit icosahedral symmetry and have diameters ranging from 120 to 200 nm. Two distinct viral species of genus Megalocytivirus have been identified: Megalocytivirus pagrus 1 and Megalocytivi...

Yellowfin seabream ( Acanthopagrus latus ) is one of the most commercially important marine fish in China. In this study, a new continuous cell line, named ALS cells, was developed from the spleen tissue of A. latus . The cell line was maintained in Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium/Nutrient Mixture F‐12 Ham (DMEM/F‐12) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and successfully cultured up to 50 passages. The cell line was...
