Prevent. Control. Eradicate.
Safeguarding aquaculture through autogenous vaccines and animal health monitoring.
Our unique and tested approach hinges on our commitment to close partnership with small and large aquaculture operators. These partnerships have enabled UVAXX to develop and implement real-world fish health management strategies and tools that work. Strategies and tools that ultimately improve yields through lower mortality, as well as safeguard commercial returns for aquaculture operators.
