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...

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...

Aquatic Animal Health and Biosecurity Subprogram: Disinfection measures to support biosecurity for infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) at aquaculture facilities
Megalocytiviruses are a group of closely related viruses that cause mass mortalities in both marine and freshwater aquaculture. They are of global importance as they are listed by the World Animal Health Organization (OIE). They are difficult to control as they infect over 125 fish species and...

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: 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...

Aquafin CRC - Atlantic Salmon Aquaculture Subprogram: commercial AGD and salmon health project
Prior to this project there had been investigations into some potential candidate amoebicides, with little success except for the possibility of oxidative disinfectants such as chloramine-T. This project has since tested a number of amoebicides using a progressive approach of in vitro...
