Big project

Big project will begin soon. That is quantification of Pallid sturgeon iridovirus in fish tissues. Some hatcheries produce juveniles of Pallid sturgeon to recover their population. However, iridovirus is prevalent in hatchery and causes mass mortarity against fish. They are worrying about releasing virus positive fish because the fish may affect wild stock in nature by spreading the virus. Therefore, they want us to test their fish before releasing. I understand how important this project is. But examine 750 fish in triplicate by TaqMan PCR is too much, I think... I wonder how long this project take to get it done...
