Aquafin CRC - Atlantic Salmon Aquaculture Subprogram: development of an AGD vaccine: phase II
Amoebic gill disease (AGD) is considered to be the most significant health problem for farmed Atlantic salmon in Tasmania, costing the industry an estimated $15-20 million pa. It is caused by the presence of Neoparamoeba spp. on the gills and if untreated can lead to death. Although some control of...

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...
