Government Initiatives to Develop Aquaculture Industry Fuel the North America Fish Vaccines Market

Aquaculture grows exponentially due to the high demand for seafood and decreasing annual catch of wild fish. Thus, governments are taking initiatives to improve and support the growth of the aquacultural industry. Following are a few recent initiatives:

In February 2021, the Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research (FFAR) funded US$ 790,326 to create a delivery system for a vaccine that can help stop the tilapia lake virus and other diseases from spreading in the aquaculture sector.

Sea Grant Marine Aquaculture Grant Program: This nationwide competitive grant program, officially known as the"National Marine Aquaculture Initiative (NMAI)," promotes research and demonstration initiatives to advance sustainable marine aquaculture in the US.

NOAA Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program: NOAA's SBIR program, which promotes small firms to use federal funds to invest in cutting-edge technologies and next-generation products and processes that can lead to commercialization, supports investments in aquaculture research and development.

Some other programs include the NOAA Fisheries Finance Program, Marine Fisheries Initiative (MARFIN), and other regional pilot projects.

In 2022, the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) announced a research investment of more than US$ 13 million to investigate new treatments and preventative measures for animal illnesses that cost the global agriculture sector billions of dollars. This included a US$ 625,000 grant to Mississippi State University to assess an antibacterial feed additive that can be used to prevent enteric septicemia in catfish in a secure and useful manner. This study will contribute to developing aquaculture producers' treatment alternatives, improving production efficiency.

Thus, an increase in government initiatives to support developments in the aquaculture industry drives the fish vaccine market growth.
