title: Vaccination of fish: a practical view.
abstract: Commercial vaccines giving protection against three important bacterial fish diseases (enteric redmouth, furunculosis and vibriosis) became available in the United Kingdom in 1983. The degree of protection obtained and the cost effectiveness vary according to the method of presentation (injection, dipping or spraying and oral dosing). These methods and the optimum time for vaccination are described.
