The production of an immersion vaccine and the vaccination procedure to immunize fry of perch (Perca fluviatilis L.) against pathogenic Aeromonas sobria that harbor a type III secretion system is described. The vaccine, based on chemically inactivated A. sobria, enables rapid vaccination of a large number of fish by immersion of fry in an aqueous vaccine suspension during 5 min, giving them high protection during fattening under open water conditions in a freshwater lake for at least 4 months.
