- Characterize the capsalid monogenean affecting kahala, analyze fish immune response to the parasite to determine if vaccine development is feasible, and determine influence of net composition on egg accumulation in culture.
- Continue Year 19 virus risk assessment, expanding sampling to include plankton that may pose a biosecurity risk to region facilities.
- Technology transfer of project results.
