This study, undertaken by CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere, examines the usefulness of mussels as sentinels for environmental change using a novel biosensor. This project measured the vital signs of heart rate and behaviour in sentinel animals, as they respond to multiple and interacting changes in the...

This project greatly contributed to an increased understanding of parasite fauna of yellowtail kingfish in Australian waters. This baseline information is critical to understanding potential parasite interactions between wild and farmed kingfish. Our risk assessment enables consideration...
