Rosselkhoznadzor Researchers Test New Vaccine for Fish

The leading scientific institutions of Rosselkhoznadzor, the Federal Center for Animal Health (FSBI ARRIAH) and the Russian State Center for Animal Feed and Drug Standardization and Quality (FGBI VGNKI), are engaged in developing a vaccine for salmonids.

The vaccine is intended for the immunization of Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout, aiming to reduce clinical manifestations and mortality rates from infectious pancreatic necrosis, furunculosis, vibriosis, coldwater vibriosis, and winter ulcer disease of salmonids at fish farming facilities.

“The inactivated emulsion-based vaccine against infectious pancreatic necrosis, furunculosis, vibriosis, coldwater vibriosis, and winter ulcer disease is highly valuable to Russian economic entities involved in salmonid aquaculture. It is in demand on the Russian market and represents a prime example of the implementation of the import substitution strategy,” FSBI ARRIAH said in a comment.
