In order to provide for future growth of the Australian prawn aquaculture industry, there is a need to take a longer-term strategic view and develop production technology for alternative species that can support an export market but do not have the intense overseas competition of the current major...
As aquaculture continues to grow, both in South Australia and elsewhere, it is becoming increasingly necessary to understand how wastes are circulated through the environment, both to minimize environmental impacts, and to minimize feedbacks that may reduce production. This information will...
Prior to this project there had been investigations into some potential candidate amoebicides, with little success except for the possibility of oxidative disinfectants such as chloramine-T. This project has since tested a number of amoebicides using a progressive approach of in vitro...
The project provided nutritional profiles for all types of baitfish used for feed in the Southern Bluefin Tuna (SBT) (Thunnus maccoyii) Aquaculture Industry, as well as for the only available commercially produced compound feed and SBT. Included are values for amino acid and fatty acid...

A prototype of an automatic algal monitoring buoy was developed for unattended operation in shellfish and finfish farm waters. The instrument employs novel antifouling and self-calibration strategies (subject to a provisional patent ) based on a battery-powered actuator extending into the seawater...
The project provided scientific and technical support to research projects involving live Southern Bluefin Tuna (SBT) under controlled conditions. These were primarily conducted by the Aquafin CRC and FRDC and managed through the SBT Aquaculture Subprogram. Four experiments were undertaken in...
