Main content
The subject group researches and teaches in fish health with a focus on farmed fish. Knowledge of the fish's resistance to disease, as well as how pathogens and farming regimes can lead to disease, is fundamental for facilitating good fish health as required by the aquaculture operation regulations. Topics such as host-pathogen interactions, immunology, vaccine development, epidemiology, characterization of new diseases and the biology of disease-causing organisms are central to the subject group's research, teaching and assignment guidance. The methods we use include both classical and molecular biological analyzes as well as bioinformatics.
We have the academic responsibility for teaching in the 5-year master's in aquamedicine, and train fish health biologists who are on a par with veterinarians when it comes to treating diseases in the aquaculture industry.
