Scientists at the University of Stirling in Scotland have been awarded over £770,000 to support the roll out of a new vaccine that could deliver major benefits to the aquaculture industry

This initiative, led by the university’s Institute of Aquaculture, builds on previous research developing a vaccine to address antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Vietnamese catfish.

Professor Margaret Crumlish is spearheading the project, supported by £774,239 from Canada’s International Development Research Centre and the UK Department of Health and Social Care under the InnoVet-AMR initiative.
