This project was designed to assist the Australian Seafood CRC identify research gaps and opportunities and ultimately provide the necessary background information and rationale for a potential supplementary bid to DIISR for funding of a new program of health related research.

Consumers are advised to eat more fish for a range of health benefits, including for growth and development, protection against heart disease and lowering of plasma triglycerides. However, there are some caveats in these recommendations for some sub-groups of the population, such as those women who...
Sea cucumbers are prolific producers of a wide range of bioactive compounds, which are potential sources of agrichemical, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical products.
Sea cucumbers expel their internal organs as a defence mechanism called evisceration. We hypothesize that the reason for...
With ageing, the inflammatory process is aggravated and it is becoming increasingly recognised that chronic, low-grade inflammation is associated with increased risk for cardiovascular, and a number of other, chronic diseases. The role of nutrition in the development and resolution of inflammation...
This broad ranging project took a subproject approach to examine several issues that ultimately relate to product yield and quality attributes of farmed Yellowtail Kingfish (YTK) grown in sea cages. Within this project, the performance (survival and growth) of fish stocked into sea cages was...
This project relates to the research strategies developed by the CRC from projects that have scoped selective breeding for abalone, Yellowtail Kingfish and Barramundi. There is potential that genetic marker assisted selection (MAS) techniques could greatly speed the genetic progress in these...
