Aquaculture now provides over 50% of the annual fish consumption globally, but fish are cold-blooded and thus the ability of their immune systems to resist disease is affected by the environmental temperature fluctuations and long-term increases that climate change will bring. Dr. Dixon¿s laboratory will develop and use state-of-the-art immunoassays and cell biology techniques to determine the immune status of fish to help develop next-generation vaccines that will provide disease protection. The knowledge and diagnostic assays developed during this CRC chair project will prevent disease losses, saving billions of dollars and providing a stable food source for the world¿s population.

目前，水产养殖占全球每年鱼类消费量的50%以上，但鱼类是冷血动物，因此它们的免疫系统抵抗疾病的能力会受到环境温度波动和气候变化带来的长期增加的影响。狄克逊?? CRC 主席项目期间开发的知识和诊断分析将开发并使用最先进的免疫测定和细胞生物学技术来确定鱼类的免疫状态，以帮助开发提供疾病保护的下一代疫苗。防止疾病损失，节省数十亿美元并为世界提供稳定的食物来源??人口。
