A 3D primitive equation model has been developed for the Huon Estuary and D’Entrecasteaux Channel to examine the hydrodynamics of the region. Using a nesting process the region could be represented with high resolution while incorporating forcing due to wind stress, tides, low frequency sea...
Archived DNA was successfully extracted from 30-year-old dried scales collected in 1971 and 1972 from wild Atlantic salmon from the River Philip, Canada.
Genetic variation was assessed at 11 nuclear DNA microsatellite loci (three tetra- and eight di-nucleotide repeats) in two samples from the River...
The salmon industry is one of Australia’s largest aquaculture industries and produced approximately 16,000 tonnes of farmed Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, in 2001/02 at an estimated farm gate value of $170 million. The industry is a major regional and youth employer and is based in Tasmania...
This Project was funded by the Fisheries Research & Development Corporation(FRDC) for the “Development of a Stock Protection System for Flexible Oceanic Pens Containing Finfish“. The Project has been developed in conjunction with the Tasmanian Salmonid Growers Association(TSGA) &...
Bacterial disease is a major cause of stock loss in aquaculture. The severity of infection may range from acute to chronic through to benign. This latter condition, termed covert infection, is insidious, as fish may appear to be outwardly healthy but during periods of stress, these carriers may...
