Development of reliable recombinant vaccine against photobacteriosis in gilthead seabream, Sparus aurata. The outcome of the research project should be a viable commercial product or technique.

Gilt-head seabream, Sparus aurata,is one of the most reared fish in worldwide aquaculture and is highly appreciated as food fish in the area of Arabian Gulf. In this area, photobacteriosis is causing severe losses and mortalities up to 50% in the cultured seabream, especially when the fish weight is 50-70 g. Development of a reliable vaccine against photobacteriosis infection in gilt-head seabream using recombinant DNA technology is urgently needed, not only in Arabian Gulf area, but also worldwide.
