Description

Fish health and welfare relies on the intestinal functions but the wider knowledge-gap of the intestinal immune system of fish compared to mammals poses a barrier to the development of efficient tools to enhance fish immunity. CIIMAR and Nord university have been focusing on the same problems – fish''s health and welfare of aquatic animals – under different perspectives, and using different animal models (European seabass, Atlantic salmon), so this bilateral initiative will enhance the transfer of scientific and technological knowledge. 
Both research teams will work together to developed
