Following Abalone Viral Ganglioneurits (AVG) re-emerging in the Western Zone of the Victorian Abalone Fishery in early May 2021 it was decided that a workshop needed to be convened as soon as possible with relevant stakeholders to evaluate past research and understand research gaps while the virus...
This research sought to build on the experimental evidence regarding non-target species susceptibility to CyHV-3. Three species which had been previously tested, but for which additional evidence would be needed to confirm non-susceptibility included Rainbow Trout, Silver Perch and Murray Cod.
To assess the risk that rapid resistance to CyHV-3 might develop, we undertook an extension to the integrated modelling with the objectives of defining what exactly is “resistance” in the context of viral biocontrol, and to elucidate the mechanisms (pathways) by which it might develop....
The CSIRO Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness (ACDP) Fish Diseases Laboratory (AFDL), in collaboration with Biosecurity Queensland, conducted a laboratory-based evaluation of commercially available point-of-care (POC) tests designed to detect white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in the field. The...
This project was an industry-led and highly collaborative project to develop a rigorous and cost-effective electronic platform to gather abalone divers’ observations of abalone stocks in situ that could be useful to inform the management of Australian abalone fisheries.
