The invention relates to a composition comprising a pharmaceutically active agent and a bioadhesive delivery system that provides for the oral delivery of a vaccine to animals, particularly aquatic animals.

The modular aquaponics assembly includes a frame, at least one tray adapted for retaining water and supporting at least one container for retaining a growing medium therein for support plants. A light fixture is disposed within the frame above the at least one tray, and an aquarium for supporting aquatic fauna is positioned near the bottom of the frame. A water circulating system is provided for circulating water from the aquarium through the at least one tray and back to the aquarium. In one embodiment, the frame is adapted to removably sit on top of the aquarium. In another embodiment, an outer skin encloses the frame, aquarium and other components to create an aesthetically pleasing structure that is both decorative and functional.

The invention relates to a combined ecological floating bed and a culture method thereof. The combined ecological floating bed falls into an upper layer, a middle layer and a lower layer. The upper layer is an aquatic plant area for planting halophilous terrestrial plants, the middle layer is an aquatic animal area for culturing aquatic animals, and the lower layer is for free-range filter feeding shellfish. The combined ecological floating bed is formed by series connection of combined ecological floating bed monomers. The combined ecological floating bed monomers are connected in series and then fixed to a timber pile so as to form the combined ecological floating bed, the four corners and the central position of which are respectively connected to a floating ball. The combined ecological floating bed and the culture method provided by the invention can comprehensively utilize the space levels of seawater pond water, integrate microorganism and plant remediation, by extending the food chain of a floating bed ecological system and strengthening the microbial enrichment characteristics of the floating bed, reduce culture diseases, improve the comprehensive benefits of culture, and simultaneously perform in-situ remediation on water, regulate the content of nitrogen and phosphorus of water and the pH value, and improve the transparency, etc.

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for increasing the health of aquatic animals comprising one or more selected bacterial strains.

The invention provides a breeding system for aquatic fauna that includes a chamber (2) having a wall (4) made from a water impermeable material. In one embodiment the chamber is provided with one or more hatches (20) in the wall where each hatch can be opened to a selectable extent. In another embodiment, the chamber has a selectable volume. The breeding system according to another embodiment includes one or more of the life support systems (30) adapted to be submerged in water.

Fusion proteins, recombinant Bacillus cereus family members that express fusion proteins, and exosporium fragments derived from spores of the recombinant Bacillus cereus family members are provided. Compositions comprising the spores or exosporium fragments are also provided. Methods involving the use of spores of recombinant Bacillus cereus family members and exosporium fragments derived from spores of a recombinant Bacillus cereus family member in the fields of animal health and aquaculture are provided. In particular, methods are for provided for using such spores or exosporium fragments for protecting an animal or an aquatic organism from a pathogen. Methods are also provided for using exosporium fragments for producing an immunogenic response in an aquatic animal. Products for use inprotecting animals from pathogens are also provided, including adhesive patches, wound dressings, insert trays for livestock footbaths, hoof bandages, feed, feed additives, and insect foggers.

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for increasing the health of aquatic animals comprising one or more selected bacterial strains.
