DISEASE PREVENTION IDENTIFIED AS
#1 CHALLENGE
OF THE INDUSTRY
Disease can wipe out an entire pond within 10 days.
The underdeveloped area of health management in aquaculture is a focus of interest and activity as the drive to increase food production for the growing global population intensifies. ViAqua took up the challenge to develop an orally administered particle-based platform for the delivery of RNA to improve resistance against diseases that attack shrimp and other aquaculture species.
Our Solution
The only proven method of prevention of viral diseases for shrimp today.
An encapsulated RNA particle in feed for efficient oral administration and delivery of the formulation. The ViAqua delivery platform protects the RNA in the aquatic environment and withstands barriers in the digestive system to deliver the RNA.
ViAqua 1st product enhances the shrimp health, reducing mortality from viral disease for example: WSSV
