Editorial : Exploring the health of aquatic organisms through an immune viewpoint

Abstract

This editorial, emerging from the Frontiers of Immunology special issue of the same name, delves into the central theme of immune aspects shaping the health dynamics of aquatic organisms. It synthesizes a series of scholarly investigations within the issue, presenting a comprehensive exploration of immunological nuances in aquatic ecosystems. The curated collection showcases diverse research, from examinations of marine model organisms such as Exaiptasia pallida to insights into epigenetic adaptations in invertebrates and mutant fish screening. This scholarly synthesis attests to intellectual diversity and methodological rigor in aquatic immunology, enhancing the comprehension of the intersection between immune responses and the health of aquatic organisms.
