The project is aimed at generating new knowledge for monitoring disease spread between farmed cod, other farmed fish and wild marine species, which will provide new knowledge for farmers and food safety authority to make decisions on disease transmission within and between existing cod aquaculture farms.

The aim is to establish an in vitro gill epithelial model for Atlantic salmon to predict harmful environmental and infective challenges and as a tool to study cellular mechanisms. 

Vi ønsker å etablere en in vitro gjelleepitelmodell for Atlantisk laks for å forutsi skadelige miljø- og infeksjonsutfordringer og som et verktøy for å studere cellulære mekanismer

RED FLAG aims to increase the understanding of salmonid red blood cell responses to «danger» like stress and infection, and explore the biomarker potential of red blood cell response monitoring for salmonid aquaculture.
