Our main focus areas are diagnostics and vaccine development, and our goal is to contribute to good fish welfare. Development of vaccines for the aquaculture industry is important for our society as vaccination is a preventive measure that saves fish from disease. In Norway Vaxxinova is the leading company in the development and sale of autogenous vaccines. Autogenous vaccines are vaccines that contain bacterial or viral strains from individual aquaculture sites or from diseased fish in a limited geographical area. In today’s aquaculture, wrasse, lumpfish, halibut, arctic charr, cod, trout, salmon, sea bass, sea bream and tilapia are affected by various virus and bacteria for which there are currently not any available vaccines on the market today.
