Manual Fish Vaccination

Aqualife have been hand vaccinating farmed fish since 1996, before mobile phones were around and before widespread use of the internet. In that time, we’ve seen the professionalisation of the farmed salmon industry, we’ve seen the rise and fall and rise again of farmed cod, we’ve seen the introduction of brand new farmed species like lumpfish and wrasse, and increasingly we’re seeing the availability of vaccines for species like barramundi, tilapia, sea bass and bream and pangasius.

In this ever-changing picture and as we travel to new places around the world vaccinating new species, we continue to offer a professional service carried out to the highest standards with fish welfare at the heart of all that we do.

Our excellent, professional logistics team have sent vaccinators all over Europe, including Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, Denmark, Croatia, Russia, Belarus and to Tasmania and Western Australia. Our core markets continue to be the UK and Ireland and Norway.

Our vaccinators are trained to professional, industry leading standards and have many years’ experience delivering vaccine and looking after the fish in their care. They are seasoned travellers and will fit into your operation seamlessly. We have experience of vaccinating salmon, trout, sea bass, wrasse, lumpfish, cod, barramundi and saithe. We have carried out training assignments on pangasius and tilapia and our experienced vaccinators are quick to adapt to new species.

Our highly skilled teams can treat up to 200,000 fish per day
