Aquafin CRC - Atlantic Salmon Aquaculture Subprogram: establishment of challenge for AGD
This project has increased our knowledge of Amoebic Gill Disease, in particular about the pathogen and the dynamics of infection. We have described a new species of neoparamoeba, Neoparamoeba perurans, and showed that it has been consistently associated with AGD worldwide. Stocking...

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...

Aquafin CRC - Atlantic Salmon Aquaculture Subprogram: effects of husbandry on AGD
Before this project our knowledge of the effects of husbandry on Amoebic Gill Disease (AGD) was limited. This project allowed on-farm assessment of effects of husbandry procedures and stock characteristics on AGD severity. Furthermore, we investigated the potential to re-use fresh water for...

This research travel grant allowed a Seafood CRC PhD student, Victoria Valdenegro to participate in the Fish Immunology Workshop 2011, which was held from April 17th – 21st 2011 at Wageningen University in the Netherlands.
This workshop was highly relevant to the PhD project, which involves study of the immune response of Atlantic Salmon as a means to design an experimental vaccine against Neoparamoeba perurans, the causative agent of amoebic gill disease (AGD). AGD is the main disease affecting the salmon industry in Tasmania, and the development a vaccine against the pathogen is remains a very high priority for its control.

Aquafin CRC - Atlantic Salmon Aquaculture Subprogram: model development for epidemiology of Amoebic Gill Disease
Amoebic Gill Disease (AGD) is the main health problem affecting salmon industry in Southern Tasmania. To improve management of fish with AGD on the farms, the industry needs better understanding of AGD epidemiology. This will provide a basis on which to develop strategies for new...
