In salmon farming, vaccination is standard — but verification of protection is not.

While ELISA confirms antibody presence, it does not confirm function. Not all antibodies are protective, and titer levels don’t always translate to field survival. A validated pathogen neutralization assay closes this gap by demonstrating whether vaccine-induced antibodies can actively inhibit bacterial or viral pathogens under controlled bench-top conditions.

For vaccine developers, this means earlier go/no-go clarity before costly in-vivo trials.
For producers, it provides confidence that a vaccinated population is ready for real infection pressure at sea.

Neutralization assays shift vaccine evaluation from proof of response to proof of protection.
