Briefings

A new study suggests silk microneedles could deliver vaccines to farmed fish, potentially reducing disease outbreaks in aquaculture. The evidence indicates that fish in pools or ponds are a critical food source globally, yet disease outbreaks cause significant losses in this industry.

Key points

• Silk microneedles are proposed as a delivery method for vaccines targeting farmed fish to mitigate disease outbreaks.
• Aquaculture relies heavily on fish cultivated in pools or ponds, which are increasingly important for global food security.

Context

Fish cultivated in pools or ponds are an increasingly important source of food around the world. Unfortunately, disease outbreaks can cause substantial losses in aquaculture.

Limitations

The evidence is limited to a single sentence stating that fish in pools or ponds are an important food source and that disease outbreaks cause substantial losses. No specific numbers, dates, authors, or experimental results are provided.
