The Hippo‐YAP/Yki pathway is critical for the regulation of physiological responses in various biological processes from invertebrates to mammals. Crustaceans, in particular shrimp and crabs, are important food sources worldwide. In response to the needs of crustacean aquaculture and disease control, the regulatory mechanisms of crustacean life activities, especially immunity, have been increasingly emphasized. Emerging clues...

Immunostimulants were widely used in aquafeed due to their multiple important functions, including promoting growth, enhancing non‐specific defence mechanisms and resisting infectious diseases. But the efficiencies of the positive effects of immunostimulants were affected by the duration of the administration and their dose. Short‐term and normal‐dose of immunostimulants promoted the growth and enhance non‐specific immunity of...
