Abstract

The growth and development of fish is tightly related to their disease resist ability, while nutrients play an important role in fish disease resistance and immune regulation. Existing results indicate that some nutrients can modulate fish cytokines production and decrease oxidative damage of immune organs through increase of antioxidant capacity via target of papamycin (TOR) and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathways, and thus maintain the structural integrity and normal function of immune organs, finally improving the non-specific and specific immunity and enhancing the disease resistance of fish. This article reviewed the advanced research on the relationships between nutrients like partial amino acids (e.g. methionine and isoleucine), fat-soluble vitamins (e.g. vitamin A), water-soluble vitamins (e.g. thiamine, pyridoxine, pantothenic acid, choline and myo-inositol) and nutritive feed additives (e.g. methionine hydroxyl analogue) and the disease resistance, non-specific and specific immune defense, growth and development of immune organs, structural integrity, antioxidant defense, and cytokines as well as their related signaling pathways in fish.
