SCRC: SCRC Honours Scholarship H3.2 -Impact of acid sulphate soils on the survival of adult Pacific Oysters challenged by bacterial extracellular products (Dr James Harris: Student Joel Kellam-Stock)

This study investigated the impact of short-term exposure to acid sulphate soil leachate on the biochemical condition of the Pacific Oyster Crassostrea gigas. Oysters were exposed to artificially acidified seawater, aluminium and iron treatments for a period of six hours and assessed for changes in...

SCRC: SCRC Honours Scholarship H3.1– Impact of commercial hatchery practices on the contribution of broodstock to offspring and genetic diversity in the Yellowtail Kingfish breeding program (Dr Alex Safari: Student Daniel Tan)

Using small numbers of broodstock for breeding often leads to random drift in gene frequencies between generations. Effective population size (Ne) is used as an indicator to assess the rate of inbreeding and loss of genetic variation in small populations. In this study we used six microsatellites,...

Seafood CRC: benefit-cost analysis of marker assisted selection in Australian aquaculture species

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...

Seafood CRC: Understanding Yellowtail Kingfish

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...
