Developing models for investigating the environmental transmission of disease-causing agents within open-cage salmon aquaculture

Global aquaculture production continues to increase across a variety of sectors, including Atlantic salmon production in Scotland. One limitation to the expansion of open-cage aquaculture is disease-induced stock losses as well as the potential for disease agents from farms interacting with other fa...
