It has been shown that such selection increases the natural resistance. At the same time, good vaccines against many infectious diseases have been developed, and these are routinely used in the aquaculture industry. There is little knowledge about the effects of increased natural resistance on the effects and side effects of vaccination. Side effects from vaccination (acute and later peritonitis leading to adhesions and melanin deposits in the peritoneum and internal organs) currently constitute an economic and ethical challenge in salmon farming.
Goals:
• To clarify the causes of vaccine damage and find measures that can reduce them.
To investigate the magnitude of the genetic link between the natural resistance of unvaccinated fish and the protective effect of vaccination with current and a reduced vaccine dose.
• To investigate the genetic connection between natural resistance and the incidence of vaccine damage with vaccinated fish in field studies.
