Sterilization of Atlantic salmon with Deadend nanosubstances and antisense

Project information (in Norwegian) at:

Sterilization of Atlantic salmon with Deadend nanosubstances and antisense

Main objective
To develop a sustainable and economically sound mass production of sterile salmon to prevent negative impact on wild fish and better fish welfare, meat quality and immune system.

Sub-goals
1. To develop nanosubstances against salmon Dnd to prevent the development of germ cells to germ cells.
2. To design nanoparticles for the transfer of Dnd-Nb mRNA and Dnd antisense via sperm.
