MIT engineers design a safer, more efficient vaccination system for farmed fish
Zach Winn writes in MIT News about a team at MIT and the U.S. Department of Agriculture that built a new way to vaccinate farmed fish. Today the most effective method uses metal needles. Fish have to be sedated, lifted out of the water and injected one at a time. That’s slow and stressful for […]
A team from MIT and the U.S. Department of Agriculture developed lacquered silk micro-holes to administer vaccines to small fish underwater. The method seeks to reduce some difficulties in needle vaccination, although it still requires testing before reaching large-scale farms.
