Abstract
Plants are produced that express an amino acid sequence that, when administered to a fish, produce an antigenic or immune response in the fish. The amino acid sequence in one embodiment is an antigen from an organism that causes pathology in fish. The plant tissue may be fed to the fish, or mixed with other materials and fed to fish, or extracted and administered to the fish.
