Disease management is a significant aspect of aquaculture which is a vital industry that is a significant food source. One of the most serious threats is a disease caused by the nervous necrosis virus (NNV) which can wipe out large populations of farmed fish and cause major economic losses in the aquaculture industry.
To strengthen the aquaculture industry, National University of Singapore (NUS) scientists, together with researchers from the Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory, have developed a novel oral vaccine for fish that can protect them against NNV and be implemented in an effective, efficient and practical way to immunise large amounts of fish.
