Abstract
When aquatic organisms expose to the stress condition, many processes of physiological, biochemical and molecular are changed undesirable, which one of them is heat shock proteins (HSP) expression. HSPs are unique group of proteins which act as a defensive barrier while expose under stress conditions results in degradation or deformation of proteins preventing. HSPs are significantly important in aquatic organisms. Since the farmed aquatic organisms are enabled to adapt the environmental stressful conditions, including temperature and pathogenic stressors. Although increasing level of this group of proteins is mainly observed by increasing temperature, however their expression has also been reported in response to low temperature. Increasing the level of these proteins can increase growth, survival and resistance to environmental stressors. In aquaculture, by artificial stimulation of production in this group of proteins or supplying feed containing HSP, the immune system can be improved against pathogens, and even as an alternative to antibiotics and vaccines in the aquaculture industry. This study reports the role and function of HSPs in aquatic organisms in aquaculture conditions.
