ViAqua Therapeutics is developing a orally administered encapsuled solution that utilizes mRNA tech, the same ingredients used in the Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 vaccines, that is designed to prevent White Spot Virus (WSSV); a deadly viral infection that plagues shrimp populations, costing an annual loss of around $3 billion and a 15% reduction in global shrimp production.
The company plans to begin production of their new treatment in India by 2024.
As explained by Fish Farmer, ‘RNA vaccines work by introducing an mRNA sequence (a specific molecule which guides cell reproduction cells) so that the immune system recognizes it when the actual pathogen is encountered, and can react accordingly. RNA vaccines are faster and cheaper to produce than traditional vaccines, which use part of a bacterium or virus rather than a manufactured molecule.’
The company further explains the process on their website.
Oral delivery is the holy grail of aquaculture health development due to both the impossibility of vaccinating individual shrimp and its ability to substantially bring down the operational costs of disease management while improving outcomes.
We are excited to bring this technology to market to address the need for affordable disease solutions in aquaculture.
Shai Ufaz, chief executive officer of ViAqua, said
Aquaculture is critical for the sustainable supply of marine protein. ViAqua’s platform technology will enable the company to move beyond WSSV to address numerous other diseases in aquaculture while similar technologies are still years away from reaching the market.
Kate Danaher, managing director of S2G Ventures’ Ocean and Seafood fund, said
The use of mRNA in agricultural and food production continues to grow, such as the prospect to produce mRNA vaccines to treat bird flu, for both the poultry and people; mRNA shots to cure foot and mouth disease and lumpy skin in cattle; or even in plants and leafy greens as a new form of vaccination.
MRNA vaccines have also been created for swine populations as well, per a statement by Merck in 2018, though its usage has been shadowy and unknown.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Whelp, looks like shrimp is out, or at least the mass-produced stuff you find at the major commercial retailers, when the newly injected shrimp are allowed to breed – assuming that more shrimp don’t just upping die.

With that out of the way, I feel I need to address this briefly. I learned about this mRNA shrimp cocktail (no pun intended) from an article that Dr. Joseph Mercola recently published that someone sent me, and Mercola went on about this thing about how mRNA vaccines are being actively used in beef and pork livestock since at least 2018. This is simply just not true.
I was considering doing an article about this months ago but never got around to it, but basically this liar named Thomas Renz – a member of this controlled opposition group that pretends to be anti-globalist, a group spouting Qanon propaganda, and that Trump is some outsider and some sort of a Godsend, and whom I have noted about before – who pushed this ruse that mRNA was actively being used in pork and beef in the U.S. on a wide scale. Renz, who is propped up on social media (a telltale sign that he is in the club), got plastered on all these alt websites, including Mercola, InforWars, Steve Bannon, and others to boot. Renz’ evidence was simply conflated and misrepresenting some of the facts.
The lie percolated and spread so much and so fast I kept getting emails from farms I subscribe to and follow, issuing statements that their products do not use mRNA; to the point where the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) had to debunk the nonsense in April:
Today, the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) released a statement in regard to false information circulating on social media about the use of mRNA vaccines in cattle:
“There are no current mRNA vaccines licensed for use in beef cattle in the United States. Cattle farmers and ranchers do vaccinate cattle to treat and prevent many diseases, but presently none of these vaccines include mRNA technology.”
The organization said
So please, stay far away from these people like Renz and that whole posse of theirs. They are controlled opposition.

Just completely stupid!!
“…the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) had to debunk the nonsense in April…”
I mean no disrespect, Jacob, but HOW do we know they aren’t deceiving the public with their statement? Mt. 24: 4 is making more sense with every passing day…about every aspect of life!
If that was going on such a widescale it would have been uncovered by now. None of the agricultural, food, and farming websites that I know of have acknowledged this news. From what I have gathered there have been talks about implementing such vaccines on a commercial scale, but never implemented as of yet; but that will surely change in the not so distant future. If I am definitely proven wrong then I will eat my words and make a retraction, but I know that I cannot trust anything that comes out of the mouth of Renz and that whole group. Read up on my reports on about Qanon, Trump, and controlled opposition and you will see why I am quick to distrust Renz and company’s allegations.
