HAVBRUKS-Havbruk - en næring i vekst

Development of vaccine concepts that protect farmed fish throughout the entire production cycle

Effective vaccines and vaccination strategies are a prerequisite for intensive industrial aquaculture. Although many protective vaccines have been developed for the fish farming industry there are still several serious infectious diseases where no prophyl actic measures have proven to be effectiv...

Kina - Strategies to increase disease protection in Atlantic cod

From a food safety and animal welfare perspective it is imperative to protect animals against infectious diseases. To develop efficient vaccines molecular tools such as gene sequence information must be found based don e.g. vaccinated fish that express pr oinflammatory molecules that play importa...

HAVBRUKS-Havbruk - en næring i vekst

Immunostimulation of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) larvae

The aquacultural production of Atlantic cod is at present hampered with poor survival of cod larvae and fry. Infectious are supposed to be the major cause of the high rates of martalities observed in intensive cod aquaculture hatcheries. These losses have dramatical economical impact, and ways t...
