Product Classification: POM-VPS
POM-VPS medications can be prescribed by vets or pharmacists or suitably qualified persons. Formerly PML and a few P products.

Uses

AquaVac Furovac 5 is used for the active immunisation of Atlantic salmon, at least 2g, to reduce mortality from furunculosis caused by Aeromonas salmonicida.

The time for development of protective immunity will depend on the water temperature. 336 degree-days should be allowed between vaccination and anticipated exposure to infection (e.g. 28 days at a water temperature of 12&dec;C).

Under laboratory conditions, after immersion vaccination of very small (2g) fish, a duration of immunity of up to 1080 degree days (90 days at 12&dec;C) has been demonstrated, although the level of protection waned during this period (relative percentage survival 77% at 28 days, 42% at 90 days).

No laboratory studies have been carried out to investigate duration of immunity after injection vaccination. Under field conditions, after injection vaccination of larger fish (35g) there is some evidence of duration of immunity of up to 4 months, and up to 6-9 months where immunity to vaccination is likely to have been boosted by natural challenge.

For uses, contra-indications and warnings and other information, read the product datasheet. Further information is also available on request from the manufacturer (adjacent tab).

Dosage and administration

Shake the bottle well before using.

Immersion vaccination - fish from 2g weight

The product is administered by immersion of the fish for 60 seconds in vaccine diluted 1 in 10 with hatchery water. (9 parts water to 1 part vaccine)

This process can be repeated, oxygenating the solution between each use with comparable weights of fish, using the same tank of diluted vaccine until 100 kg of fish have been treated per litre of undiluted vaccine.

Thus for fish 20 g in weight, 5000 fish may be vaccinated per litre of vaccine.

The temperature of diluted vaccine should not differ from the temperature of the water in the holding tank by more than ± 5&dec;C. The precise bacterial dose taken up by individual fish cannot be calculated.

Injection vaccination – fish from 20g weight

The vaccine must be administered using a multi-dose injection applicator incorporating a mechanism to prevent flush-back. This applies equally to hand-held and automatic systems.

The product is administered by intra-peritoneal injection in the ventral area, just anterior to the pelvic fins.

The dose is 0.1 ml per fish.The fish should be anaesthetised prior to vaccination, using an anaesthetic licensed for use on fish.

Vaccine should be used by injection within 5 hours of broaching the stopper.

Any unused vaccine should be disposed of after this period.

When administering by immersion, dilute the contents immediately after opening the container, and use diluted vaccine immediatiately.
