BCA: diagnosis and identification of Aeromonas salmonicida and detection of latent infections in carrier fish
Final report
The following two projects were selected by the FRDC for ex-post cost/benefit analysis:
1993-128: Development of molecular probes for use in bacterial disease diagnosis and health monitoring of farmed wild finfish in Australia undertaken by the Department of Primary Industries, Tasmania.
1995-060: Diagnosis and Identification of Aeromonas salmonicida and Detection of Latent Infections in Carrier Fish undertaken by CSIRO Australian Animal Health Laboratory.
Both projects are concerned with the development and application of molecular diagnostic techniques for the rapid identification of bacterial fish pathogens for salmonids, and for this reason a combined ex-post cost/benefit analysis was undertaken.
