Thus, fish vaccination has become an increasingly important part of
aquaculture. Especially in the salmonid and yellowtail industries, and lately in the Channel catfish and sea
bream industries, disease prevention by means of vaccination has become a well established and cost-effective
method of controlling different infectious diseases.
This has increased the overall survival and health of the
animal and consequently significantly reduced overall cost of production. Soon Asian aquaculture will benefit
from this same optimum disease prevention strategy.
