Barramundi Group unit develops vaccine to combat 'devastating' fish disease

Developers say the vaccine is a potential "game-changer" for the Asian sea bass sector, where Scale Drop Disease Virus (SSDV) has caused "devastating losses."

The vaccine, developed by UVAXX in collaboration with Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), has the potential to transform Asian sea bass farming.
