The project has created knowledge which has led to the outcome of better health management on Australian prawn farms. Changes to farm practices have occurred where whole-farm destocking and pond disinfection are applied as a hygiene practice following a season where crop declines or failures are...

By world standards Australia has not developed a significant marine finfish fanning industry. One of the principal constraints has been the absence of suitable technology for Australian species. This technology is currently being developed in a number of research facilities in temperate regions of...

Rapid predictive capability of viral spread through water during an aquatic disease outbreak is an epidemiologist’s dream, and up until now has not been achievable. A biophysical particle tracking model for Ostreid herpesvirus 1 microvariant (OsHV-1) that causes POMS was developed to determine...

This report outlines the results of investigations into the feasibility of cost effectively marking or labelling individual oysters and other shellfish for product differentiation and to facilitate rapid and efficient recall of product in the event of a potential public health incident. A number of...

This project consisted of two field experiments primarily designed to determine if dispersal of post-juvenile trout cod, Maccullochella macquariensis, is responsible for the apparent lack of success following stocking of this species into numerous riverine sites. The study also served to trial the...
