Anthropogenic Activities and Susceptibility to Infection in Fishes

by Dr Alok Tripathi

The present work compiles the various dimensions of xenobiotics stress and their impact on fish immune system. And if anything affects the immunity of host ultimately invites the pathogens for infection. In this book, all possible impacts of anthropogenic activities on physiology of host and their sum effect on immune system has been derived. In this context, liver physiology has also been explored as it is production center for acute phase proteins which are responsible for humoral innate immunity of fishes.
