which significantly decreases productivity of fish culturing. Passive transfer of maternal immunityan effective way to prevent diseases and fundamentally improve descendant qualitycould not only avoid potential crisis of food safety and environment pollutionprogress on the study of fish maternal immunity has been summarized in detailwhich focuses on the dynamic transfer and metabolism of maternal derived antibodystudy on innate matarnal immnune factorsis also introducedalthough their protective function is less proved so far. Further reserach need to be intensified on the above aspectseffects of fish physiology and environment condition on maternal immunityand function of innate immune factors should be studied comperehensively to settle down key problems for matarnal immunity application.
