Main Article Content
Abstract
Newly born fish are not able to generate their own immunity. Maternally derived immunity, therefore, is very important to protect their offspring. Both innate and specific immunities are transferred to offspring fish, naïve fish. These immunities include antibody, complement, lysozyme, protease inhibitors, lectin, and serine proteases. Nutrition, health, and age of broodfish affect the ability for immunity transfer. In addition, seasonal change, temperature, water quality, stocking density, and stress all possibly involve in broodfish immunity. Therefore, it is necessary to take a good care of broodfish before and during breeding in order to produce high quality fry. However, antibody derived from dam completely disappears thereafter yolk absorption.
