Is $16.4 Billion. The US
currently supplies less than
$2 Billion of the demand.
This accounts for a trade
deficit if excess of $10.5B
6. NOAA
Fisheries of the United States, 2012
In 2011 Americans consumed 15 lbs. of seafood per person
(global per capita consumption is 41.4 lbs.)
91% of that seafood was imported
50% of that seafood was produced by aquaculture

Guide to Using Drugs, Biologics, and Other Chemicals in Aquaculture
Table 2. Low regulatory priority aquaculture drugs, indications, and doses.
Compound Indication(s) Dose
Acetic Acid Parasiticide for fish 1000-2000 ppm dip for 1-10 minutes
Calcium chloride Used to aid in egg hardening 10-20 ppm CaCO3 (eggs)
Used to aid in maintaining osmotic balance during fish
holding and transport ≤150 ppm CaCO3, indefinitely (fish)
Calcium oxide External protozoacide for fish 2000 ppm dip for 5 sec
Carbon dioxide gas Anesthetic for fish
Fuller’s Earth Used to reduce the adhesiveness of fish eggs
Garlic (whole form) To control helminth and sea lice infestations of marine
salmonids at all life stages
Ice Used to reduce the metabolic rate of fish during transport
Magnesium sulfate Used to treat external monogenic trematode infestations 30,000 ppm MgSO4 + 7000 ppm NaCl dip for
in fish 5-10 min
Onion (whole form) Used to treat external crustacean parasites infestations
of salmonids
Used to deter sea lice from infesting external surface of salmonids
Povidone iodine Egg surface disinfectant 100 ppm for 10 min during or after water
hardening

16. Challenge
Intensive production = potential for rapid spread of disease
Lack of effective vaccines or treatments
Frequently poor management and biosecurity in developing regions
Delivery of potential preventatives or treatments
Opportunity
Improved management and biosecurity
Improved genetics including genome “editing”
Novel vaccines and therapeutics
Novel delivery systems
17. Why Aquaculture Biotechnology?
• Fish is a healthy food and an efficient source of high quality
protein
• Many of world’s fisheries are maximally exploited
• Aquaculture must at least triple by 2030 to hold per capita
fish supply constant (FAO)
• Genetics and husbandry practices generally primitive
• Biotechnology can improve efficiency and sustainability
18. The use of si-RNA technology
may represent an opportunity
for specific therapeutic
solutions for many of the most
damaging viral diseases of
shrimp and fish.
19. Seafood is healthy, nutritious, and desirable
Fish are efficient converters of feed to human food
Capture fisheries have been at maximum production levels for twenty years
Aquaculture is an environmentally sustainable alternative production system
Current aquaculture management relies on biosecurity
There are few approved drugs or biologicals
Many diseases of aquatic organisms are poorly understood
Outbreak of a disease like EMS, TSV, WSD, ISAV can destroy a geographic industry
Opportunities for novel approaches to reduce susceptibility, treat or
block infection and disease.
