Autogenous fish vaccine production and wet-lab safety testing will take place at Bimeda’s vaccine facility, Bimeda Biologicals, located in San Angelo, Texas, which already has extensive experience in terrestrial animal vaccine production. The AquaTactics site in Kirkland, Washington, will remain key for fish vaccine development and customer support.
AquaTactics provides a broad range of fish health services, including veterinary services, vaccination protocol design, fish health products and pathology services.
Sam Dash, general manager of AquaTactics, commented in a press release: "With USDA approval, we can now expand our quality offering and provide custom vaccine solutions that meet the specific needs of our clients. This is an important milestone in our mission to enhance fish health and productivity for aquaculture operations across the USA.”
Dr Katharine “Ono” Onofryton, AquaTactics’ veterinarian, added: “I am excited to see AquaTactics further our ability to support the US aquaculture industry and the aquatic veterinary profession. We are now able to provide high quality fish vaccines to veterinarians, fish health professionals and the facilities they service in all 50 states.”
