“…This network is believed to contribute to the early physiological adaptations in response to V. alginolyticus infection, ultimately enhancing the fish's resistance to the pathogen. While limited research has focused on the functional role of HABP2, AGT and Serpin A3‐2 in fish, they are known for their capacity to maintain structural and connective tissues (de Mezer et al., 2023; Nickerson et al., 2006; Umasuthan et al., 2012). Conversely, Fg plays a pivotal role in blood clotting, serving as the scaffold for blood clots and facilitates tissue healing at injury site (Freire et al., 2020; Li, Liu, et al., 2022; Tavares‐Dias & Oliveira, 2009; Yang et al., 2021).…”
