Larimichthys crocea (large yellow croaker): A bibliometric study

Larimichthys crocea is an important economic fish of East Asia, and numerous studies have been conducted on its breeding, aquaculture, preservation and processing; however, there is no systematic review of the literature on the research of Larimichthys crocea. Derwent Data Analyzer (DDA) was used to analyze 1192 Larimichthys crocea research papers indexed by SCI-E, CSCD and KCI from 2001 to 2023. The number of research publications on Larimichthys crocea has rapidly increased, and institutions and scholars from China, the United States, South Korea, Japan, and Norway have conducted the majority of Larimichthys crocea research. The immune response, Pseudomonas plecoglossicida, gene expression, lipid immune response, transcriptomics and other areas have attracted the most attention. To increase the immunity and disease resistance of Larimichthys crocea and improve its survival, growth, storage and transport, researchers have carried out a large amount of research, which has promoted not only the culture of Larimichthys crocea but also the restoration of wild Larimichthys crocea and the rehabilitation of the ecological environment.
