Description: Professor of fish and shellfish diseases in the department of Biological Sciences. Current research program and selected publications.
BSc. (Agr.); Macdonald College/McGill University M.S., PhD., Oregon State University We have four main research themes. The first theme deals with the modulation of the non-specific and specific immune systems of cultured aquatic animals, primarily salmonid finfish. We are using natural products to stimulate these systems. Our earlier work has focussed on the use of natural B-1,3 glucans with B-1,6 glucose side chains added in the feed to stimulate the immune systems of salmonids and protect them from natural disease challenges, e.g. furunculosis, under commercial aquaculture conditions. We are currently investigating the use of another natural protein product for stimulating the immune systems of cultured finfish. This product, when added to feed at low concentrations, stimulates the immune system to give protection against bacterial diseases such as furunculosis.
