Aquafin CRC - Atlantic Salmon Aquaculture Subprogram: molecular assessment of resistance to AGD in Atlantic salmon

The outcome of this project is the development, at the request of industry, of a proposal to enhance the genetic gains in the industry selective breeding program for AGD resistance through marker assisted selection. The confidence to proceed with such a proposal is brought about by the extensive...

Production of antibodies against toxins involved in ciguatera fish poisoning

Sufficient pure ciguatoxin (0.5 mg of CTX-1) has been isolated from moray eel viscera to allow the immunisation of mice and screening of antibodies to ciguatoxin. It is determined that in vivo immunisation techniques were most likely to yield antibodies using related toxins as models of ciguatoxin....

Aquafin CRC - Atlantic Salmon Aquaculture Subprogram: use of immunomodulation to improve fish performance in Australian temperate water finfish aquaculture

Before this project our knowledge of immune response in Amoebic Gill Disease (AGD) was fundamentally limited and more information was required to assess the potential for immunomodulators in the management of AGD. We confirmed that injection of bacterial DNA motif (CpG oligonucleotides) six...
