aquaculture vaccines

Aquaculture vaccines are biological products used to protect farmed fish and shellfish from diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, and parasites. They work by stimulating the animal's immune system to recognize and fight specific pathogens, reducing illness and mortality rates. Vaccines can be administered through injections, oral feeds, or immersion methods. Implementing vaccines in aquaculture improves fish health and welfare, minimizes the use of antibiotics, and supports sustainable seafood production by preventing disease outbreaks that can harm both the environment and industry profitability.
