Description

This proposed project will constitute the first phase in the establishment of a World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) Collaborating Centre for Emerging Aquatic Animal Diseases (EAAD) at CEFAS.

The overall aims will be to:
• Focus the CCEAAD on identification of emergent and pre-emergent pathogens. To utilise the status of CCEAAD to develop strategic partnerships with relevant international governments, organisations and industries relating to aquaculture and aquatic food supply across the world.
• Develop a UK Government Centre of Excellence to facilitate liaison between UK academic and industry providers and those nations requiring technology and research in support of their developing aquaculture industries.
• Establish a Centre of Excellence in EAAD to train the next generation of aquatic animal health specialists from the UK and overseas.
• Assist ODA/DAC-listed countries to meet OIE aquatic animal health standards (and thus facilitate safe trade) and in fulfilment of UN SDGs relating to food security.
