In early June, Simão Zacarias joined a field trip organised by one of our partner projects that is working on perceptions and attitudes towards fish vaccination in Thailand. The project is led by the National Science and Technology Development Agency, National Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (BIOTEC) who have partnered with Kasetsart University and INVE Aquaculture.

They visited a Seabass farm in Chachengsao Province to conduct a survey which aimed at getting data on how farmers view and understand fish vaccination.
