Need

There are very few aquatic health veterinarians Australia wide, in particular, there are only three veterinarians (excluding myself) that are seriously dedicated to aquatic animal health, welfare and medicine in WA. There is a need for passionate veterinarians in this country to specialise in aquatic animal health to ensure that these animals receive first class health care and the full range of services (diagnostic workup, husbandry recommendations, treatment options, surgical opinions and management advice) expected from a veterinarian in any field of practice.

I am a unique veterinarian as I possess a strong and passionate interest in all aspects of aquatic animal health, medicine and pathology and am prepared to dedicate my career to these wonderful creatures to ensure they are healthy, respected and protected.

The AQUAVET I course brings together vets who believe that the profession is in a position to contribute to the wellbeing of aquatic ecosystems and inhabitants. AQUAVET is well-renowned and accepted within the veterinary profession and many of the previous participants have pursued long, meaningful careers in aquatic animal health. This is what I am determined to do! I know that by attending AQUAVET I, I will bring back with me many useful skills, networking connections, the latest and greatest in medical/diagnostic technology and a more detailed knowledge of aquatic animal diseases and husbandry requirements. This scholarship will accelerate my learning and at the end of the course, I will be better educated to impart knowledge to the entire aquatic animal health community in Australia.

Objectives

1. To network and foster a strong relationship with the international network of fish veterinarians for future collaborations nationally and internationally
2. To expand the skill set and accelerate the learning of the principal investigator for the provision of aquatic animal health veterminary services to all types of aquatic animal producers and wildlife and aid in ensuring Australia's aquatic animals are healthy and protected
3. To share information, skills, knowledge and impart advice to all members fo the Australian aquatic animal health community

Need

Australia’s aquatic animals are free from many diseases that occur overseas, providing us with a competitive advantage in both production and trade. Australian aquaculture has grown from an industry valued at AU$260 million in 1993 to an industry valued at AU$1.6 billion in 2020 (ABARES, 2021). This dramatic growth has been accompanied by the emergence of new diseases/infectious agents, e.g., NNV since 1989, Bonamia since 1992, OOD since 2006, OsHV since 2010, POMV since 2012, new YHV genotypes since 2013, PMMS since 2015 and WSD since 2016, all of which threaten the sustainability of major aquaculture enterprises. Consequently, the need for health research to support this expanding sector is also growing. The wild-harvest, recreational, Indigenous and ornamental sectors are also under threat; e.g., crayfish plague, Edwardsiella ictaluri in catfish, Perkinsus in oysters, WSD in crustacea and gourami iridovirus in a range of finfish species pose significant risks.

Thus, identification and prioritisation of aquatic animal health and biosecurity research and capacity building needs to be coordinated across all aquatic sectors to ensure synergy while avoiding duplication. FRDC, through AAHBRCP, plays a major role in addressing research needs and training in aquatic animal health and biosecurity and is able to direct funding priorities to the most pressing areas. AAHBRCP provides a cohesive national approach to FRDC-supported R&D by providing leadership, direction and focus for health R&D and other related non-R&D activities. According to an external review of AAHBRCP undertaken in 2015 the consensus among major stakeholders was that AAHBRCP provides an essential service for the aquatic animal sector. Given the success of the AAHBRCP there is a need to continue it as a means of providing the service with consideration given to adjustments (reflected in this proposal) to enhance the service it provides for the evolving needs of Australia’s seafood industry, public policy and program needs

Objectives

1. In consultation with key stakeholders (industry, government, aquatic animal health providers and industry representatives) identify and prioritise R&D needed to deliver national, jurisdictional and industry sector aquatic animal health and biosecurity related planning objectives
2. Promote and manage aquatic animal health and biosecurity training and capacity building
3. Facilitate the dissemination of outputs (information and results) from R&D projects to key stakeholders
4. Through the biannual AAHBRCP scientific conference, cultivate research community collaboration, engagement, and foster early career researchers.

Need

The project is of considerable importance to both industry and the community:
- since December 2002 Food Standards Australia and New Zealand (FSANZ) require all food produced to be labelled with potential allergens
- the increased consumption of seafood is resulting in concomitant increase in reports of allergies to seafood
- a duty of care is owed by employers to people working in the catching, processing and retail of seafood. Better information will allow preventive measure to be taken to control exposure to airborne allergens and costly litigation to be avoided.

The results of this project will help to develop a more comprehensive research program investigating:

- the development of detection kits for the detection of airborne allergens
- the characterisation of allergens and comparison with known seafood allergens
- the exposure response relationship of allergen exposure and health outcomes.

Objectives

1. To determine the various occupational settings in which exposure to seafood allergens occurs and to identify specific work processes associated with high risk exposure.
2. to determine the prevalence of work related allergic health problems (rhino-conjunctivitis, urticaira/eczema, asthma)
3. To determine the level of occupational health service provision and surveillance of workers in these various workplaces.
4. To characterise the demographic profile of seafood processing workplaces in Australia in the context of the risk from allergen exposure.

Summary

Survey forms sent to over 800 companies in the aquaculture and processing sectors of the Australian seafood industry on the provision of occupational health services and the prevalence of allergic health problems drew 140 responses.

The key findings of this survey were:

  • About half of the workplaces provided an on-site occupational health service and conducted some form of medical surveillance program.
  • There was a positive trend between the size of an operation and provision of an occupational health program.
  • Only 9% of workplaces operated an industrial hygiene program.
  • The most common form of allergy experienced was urticaria (skin rashes) followed by asthma, rhinitis and rhino conjunctivitis.  These results are in agreement with more extensive studies done overseas.
  • It is suggested that an awareness program be instituted to alert management and workers to the possibility of allergies, and appropriate avoidance procedures be instituted.

Need

The study will demonstrate the extent to which a health promotion program incorporating dietary fish meals, as well as weight control and increased physical activity, compares with usual care alone. The study is designed to reduce blood pressure and drug requirements in the longer term and minimise cardiovascular risk in overweight hypertensive patients. We will use ambulatory blood pressures as criteria for both inclusion and endpoints decisions and will assess quality of life and the cost-benefit in relation to lifestyle changes and overall cardiovascular risk. The results should have important implications for public health given the high prevalence of hypertensive cardiovascular disease.

Objectives

0. To investigate whether, compared with a usual care group, a health promotion program incorporating increased fish consumption and improved dietary habits, as well as weight control and physical activity, will enhance blood pressure control, enabling antihypertensive therapy to be withdrawn for at least a year.
1. To investigate whether, compared with a usual care group, a health promotion program incorporating increased fish consumption and improved dietary habits, as well as weight control and physical activity, will lead to sustained improvements in cardiovascular risk profile in terms of lipids, glucose tolerance and blood platelet and endothelial activation.

Need

The present application will build extensively on the previous nutrition research of Somerset and Bowerman by engaging health professionals in evidence-based and practical communication material which they can use to assist consumers in integrating seafood towards more healthy and sustainable dietary choices.

Dr Gabrielle O’Kane, a board member of the Dietitians Association of Australia, has also been conducting multi-disciplinary research focusing on the barriers and drivers of fish consumption in Australia. On the 18 May 2017, Dr O’Kane gave an oral presentation ‘Aligning sustainability and nutrition goals in Australian seafood consumption’ at the 34th National DAA conference in Hobart, reporting on the findings of the advice related to seafood consumption provided by APDs and PHNs to their clients. The findings showed that APDs and PHNs are uncertain as to where to find reliable evidence-based information on sustainable seafood stocks. The conference had over 600 delegates and there was keen interest in the Nutrition in Public Health, Community and the Environment stream of concurrent sessions, of which this presentation was a part. See the link http://daa2017.com.au/cms/wp-content/uploads/DAA-2017-Final-Program-as-of-24-April-2017.pdf. Dr Carolyn Stewardson was able to assist Dr O’Kane with sourcing clear, summarised information on the status of Australian wild fish stocks in advance of the conference, which was well-received by delegates. One of the key take home message of Dr O’Kane's presentation was to check the sites www.fish.gov.au and www.fishfiles.com.au.

There is a clear gap in the provision of evidence-based information on (i) performance of fisheries management/status of Australia’s fish stocks and (ii) the health benefits and recommendations around eating fish, to this sector. Dietary recommendations for fish intake presents a conflict between desired outcomes for environmental sustainability and health.

Objectives

1. Gather evidence-based information about the nutritional benefits and recommendations of seafood, and the performance of fisheries management/status of Australian fish stocks(Original objective: Translate FRDC's nutritional data and fish stock status information into simple, credible educational resources for health professionals and consumers according to their expressed needs and wants)
2. Translate this into a credible educational resource for health professionals according to their expressed needs and wants(Original objective: Effectively disseminate these resources through DAA, PHAA and Practice Nurses Association to health professionals in Australia for distribution into the wider community)
3. Effectively disseminate this resource to nutrition professionals and practice nurses in Australia for distribution into the wider community

Summary

Seafood is a nutritionally important food and an inherent part of Australian eating culture. However, consumers are often unsure which seafood to eat. This is for a range of reasons, including not knowing enough about the defining features of differing species or how to prepare and cook them, as well as concerns about sustainability.
 
In 2018 the FRDC commissioned resources to better equip health professionals to support their clients and communities to eat the recommended amounts of seafood and encourage them to choose Australian sustainable seafood. The suite of resources includes an evidence review of seafood and health, an online brochure and a collection of family friendly recipes using Australian sustainable seafood species. The resources can be accessed at www.fishfiles.com.au

Summary

The overall goal for this project was to translate, integrate and communicate contemporary scientific knowledge on the performance of fisheries management/status of Australia’s fish stocks, and the health benefits of eating seafood, to the Australian community through a partnership between Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs), primary health care nurses, public health nutritionists, food technologists, home economists and the FRDC.
This research is important because health professionals are an important influencer group on food choice and a key channel for food education.
Both health professionals themselves, and their clients, will benefit from this research. It provides scientific, evidence-based information health professionals can trust when educating patients and communities about seafood for health and sustainability. It provides them with information they need and want, but it also provides information they can share with their patients, clients and communities. Ultimately, it can steer Australians toward more sustainable seafood choices.
The key finding is that providing evidence-based information of seafood for health and sustainability to health professionals fulfilled an unmet need in this group that allows them to better support their patients, clients and communities.
As a result of this project, FRDC and seafood sector stakeholders can consider health professionals an additional influential channel for disseminating information of seafood
health and sustainability. The primary outcome of this project was to raise awareness about the nutritional benefits and recommendations of seafood, and the performance of fisheries management/status of Australian fish stocks via empowering health professionals to relay evidence based information (new resources and the FRDC website) to the wider community. Importantly, these resources were developed according to needs and wants of health professionals and consumers.

Summary

The overall goal for this project was to translate, integrate and communicate contemporary scientific knowledge on the performance of fisheries management/status of Australia’s fish stocks, and the health benefits of eating seafood, to the Australian community through a partnership between Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs), primary health care nurses, public health nutritionists, food technologists, home economists and the FRDC.
This research is important because health professionals are an important influencer group on food choice and a key channel for food education.
Both health professionals themselves, and their clients, will benefit from this research. It provides scientific, evidence-based information health professionals can trust when educating patients and communities about seafood for health and sustainability. It provides them with information they need and want, but it also provides information they can share with their patients, clients and communities. Ultimately, it can steer Australians toward more sustainable seafood choices.
The key finding is that providing evidence-based information of seafood for health and sustainability to health professionals fulfilled an unmet need in this group that allows them to better support their patients, clients and communities.

The overall goal for this project was to translate, integrate and communicate contemporary scientific knowledge on the performance of fisheries management/status of Australia’s fish stocks, and the health benefits of eating seafood, to the Australian community through a partnership between Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs), primary health care nurses, public health nutritionists, food technologists, home economists and the FRDC.
This research is important because health professionals are an important influencer group on food choice and a key channel for food education.
Both health professionals themselves, and their clients, will benefit from this research. It provides scientific, evidence-based information health professionals can trust when educating patients and communities about seafood for health and sustainability. It provides them with information they need and want, but it also provides information they can share with their patients, clients and communities. Ultimately, it can steer Australians toward more sustainable seafood choices.
The key finding is that providing evidence-based information of seafood for health and sustainability to health professionals fulfilled an unmet need in this group that allows them to better support their patients, clients and communities.
As a result of this project, FRDC and seafood sector stakeholders can consider health professionals an additional influential channel for disseminating information of seafood
health and sustainability. The primary outcome of this project was to raise awareness about the nutritional benefits and recommendations of seafood, and the performance of fisheries management/status of Australian fish stocks via empowering health professionals to relay evidence based information (new resources and the FRDC website) to the wider community. Importantly, these resources were developed according to needs and wants of health professionals and consumers.

It provides them with information they need and want, but it also provides information they can share with their patients, clients and communities. Ultimately, it can steer Australians toward more sustainable seafood choices.
The key finding is that providing evidence-based information of seafood for health and sustainability to health professionals fulfilled an unmet need in this group that allows them to better support their patients, clients and communities.
As a result of this project, FRDC and seafood sector stakeholders can consider health professionals an additional influential channel for disseminating information of seafood
health and sustainability. The primary outcome of this project was to raise awareness about the nutritional benefits and recommendations of seafood, and the performance of fisheries management/status of Australian fish stocks via empowering health professionals to relay evidence based information (new resources and the FRDC website) to the wider community. Importantly, these resources were developed according to needs and wants of health professionals and consumers.

Need

Considerable scientific information on the health benefits of eating seafood is accumulating, yet relatively little of this information has been effectively communicated to the general public or translated into opportunities to promote fresh seafood consumption. There is a need for this to be done, since the FRDC-funded Sydney asthma study demonstrated clearly the commercial potential of communicating research findings to the mass market.

The seafood industry and the general public need an organised mechanism to identify important health issues, to seek out scientific findings and to translate these into a format that can be used by the seafood industry marketers and others to promote the consumption of fresh seafood in a responsible, accurate and safe manner.

There is a need also for the general public to become more aware of the health benefits of seafood.

Objectives

1. To translate the complex findings of nutrition science research into a format (ie. in the form of research summaries) that make such findings accessible to marketers of seafood and the general community (by: compiling health research findings, summarising the results of those findings, and translating them into a format that can be readily adopted by marketers of seafood, health workers and others to communicate to the general public)
2. Develop guidelines for the selection and communication of nutrition information to be used for marketing and promotion to ensure an image of high scientific integrity.
3. Outline food standards code section A1(19) relating to health claims made about food etc. to ensure that usage of research summaries complies with Australian food regulations.

Summary

Eat fish and you'll live longer and healthier. Everyone knows this - or do they? Where did this common understanding of the benefits of fish arise and what is the scientific basis for these claims. What are the "best bets" for nutrition-based fish promotion in Australia?

Considerable scientific information on the health benefits of eating seafood is accumulating, yet relatively little of this information has been effectively communicated to the general public or translated into opportunities to promote fresh seafood consumption. There is a need for this to be done, since the FRDC-funded Sydney asthma study demonstrated clearly the commercial potential of communicating research findings to the mass market.

This project has looked at the scientific evidence and translated complex nutrition research findings into a form upon which marketing and promotion material on fresh fish can be based.
