Vaccination of Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) against vibriosis

Arctic char of six different strains have been vaccinated against vibriosis and a relative protection (RPP) of 98% was demonstrated by waterborne challenge. This species is highly susceptible to vibriosis and the gross pathology is similar to vibriosis in rainbow trout. Sex maturation and genetics m...

Description
Summary:Arctic char of six different strains have been vaccinated against vibriosis and a relative protection (RPP) of 98% was demonstrated by waterborne challenge. This species is highly susceptible to vibriosis and the gross pathology is similar to vibriosis in rainbow trout. Sex maturation and genetics may have some impact on disease resistance.
