Vaccination of Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) against vibriosis
Original version
This report is not to be cited without prior reference to the authorsAbstract
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.
