Introduction Click to copy section linkSection link copied! Labeo rohita , commonly known as rohu, is a cyprinid species that is a highly preferred freshwater fish in Southeast Asian countries. (1) Indian major carp (IMC) contributes approximately 24.94% to global aquaculture production, with rohu alone contributing 5.1% (2.48 million metric tons), placing it among the top 10 major aquaculture species worldwide.

Abstract In the aquaculture sector, one of the challenges include disease outbreaks such as bacterial infections, particularly from Aeromonas hydrophila (Ah), impacting both wild and farmed fish. In this study, we conducted a proteomic analysis of the gut tissue in Labeo rohita following Ah infection to elucidate the protein alterations and its implications for immune response.

1. Introduction A stable seafood supply is needed to maintain biodiversity to feed the world, however, it is under increasing pressure from climate change, overfishing, and pollution. Seafood, including fish, mollusks, and crustaceans, contributes to about 17% of the global demand for animal protein [1]. A substantial gap can be seen between the demand and supply of seafood in the near future with the current state of wild-capture fisheries and aquaculture [2].
