Aquaculture Contract Research

Moredun Scientific, an established contract research organisation, have recently launched a contract service to deliver efficacy and safety studies to support the development of fish health products for the aquaculture sector.

We work with salmonids and cold water marine species including cod, halibut and cleaner fish as well as shrimp and sea bass.
We have a range of infectious disease models for use in efficacy studies including Salmon Lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis).

All our regulatory work is conducted to the principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) or VICH-GCP (Veterinary Good Clinical Practice) and the data generated is used to support the registration of a wide range of fish health products, including vaccines, anti-infectives, anti-parasitics and feed additives. We also carry out early stage proof of concept studies.

Our aquaculture team is headed by Bill Roy who has many years of experience in the aquaculture sector.

Please get in touch to learn more and to discuss how we can help to advance your projects.
