Need

A revision of the original Field Guide is necessary to update information in respect of recent changes to the National List as well as an increase in knowledge of diseases currently covered by original Field Guide. The revised Field Guide also needs to target a more technical audience than that of the original version and will be upgraded accordingly. Production of the Field Guide on CD ROM provides an excellent opportunity for wider and more efficient dissemination.

Objectives

1. To update information in the existing Australian Aquatic Animal Disease Identification Field Guide, with improved data and to expand on the technical aspects of disease aetiology, diagnostics and response options, while remaining relevant to the non-technical audience
2. To produce the revised Field Guide in a cost-effective and easily distributed format

Need

Development of contingency plans for significant aquatic animal diseases is a critical first step in the management of disease outbreaks. In this respect, aquatic animal health policy development is lagging behind terrestrial animal health policy by approximately 20 years.

At the Melbourne workshops, all sectors of the fishing industry strongly supported the need for a national approach to aquatic animal disease control issues and identified the writing of contingency plans for disease incursions to be an important task. Also they noted there was a need to build on the unanimous support for this contingency planning process and there was an expectation that some generic, sectoral plans could be developed very rapidly.

Objectives

1. Write four generic (enclosed water
open freshwater
net/open culture marine
open marine) contingency planning manuals for the occurence of significant diseases in aquatic animals to draft form.
2. Following consultation with industry, State government and Commonwealth government representatives, produce four final generic contingency planning manuals.

Need

The risk of importation of AMR into Australia via uncooked prawn commodities has not been assessed.
Given the existing pathway of dissemination of prawn commodities into waterways via disposal (berley)/use (bait) the release and establishment of AMR microbes could impact on prawn hatchery performance, where juvenile stages are particularly sensitive to bacterial diseases such as Vibriosis. Should AMR enter hatcheries via the use of wild broodstock, water or aerosol pathways it could contribute to great challenges in maintaining reliable hatchery production for the entire prawn farming sector, for it could render the currently available antimicrobials useless.
There is growing concern about the emergence of antimicrobial resistance in humans, and the pathways for its entry and establishment.
The trade of importing uncooked prawns for human consumption was temporarily suspended from early January to early July 2017 after the WSSV outbreaks on the Logan River in Queensland and import compliance breaches were identified. With this trade re-opening the pathway for potential entry of AMR on live bacteria warrants assessment.

A further pathway for generating enhanced risk of antimicrobial resistance is through allowing human consumption of commodities with sub-therapeutic levels of antibiotic and agricultural chemical residue.The Australian Prawn Farmers Association (APFA) are seeking to better understand the presence or absence of a range of chemical residues in imported prawn products. Insufficient data has been collected as part of the National Residue Survey to give industry confidence that the imported products do not pose a potential health risk to consumers, and hence do not pose a risk to the marketing and sales of prawns generally. Data is needed to inform the submission from the APFA to the review of the Commonwealth Import Risk Assessment of uncooked crustacean and Australia's food safety regulator (FSANZ).

Objectives

1. Define the identity of bacteria and their status with respect to phenotypic and genotypic antimicrobial resistance associated with imported frozen uncooked prawn commodities
2. Quantify the type and level of antibiotic and agricultural chemical residue in a range of imported prawn commodities purchased at Australian retail outlets
3. Discuss the implications of studies findings in respect of biosecurity controls and how they can contribute to protection of the productivity of the prawn farming industry and protection of human health

Summary

As part of the response to the outbreak of White Spot Disease (WSD) in prawn farms along the Logan River, Southern Queensland in late November 2016, uncooked prawns were purchased by Dr Matt Landos (Future Fisheries Veterinary Service Pty Ltd) from various retail outlets in northern NSW and south east Queensland. These retail prawn samples were tested by qPCR for White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) under FRDC project 2016/066. This project (2017-091) utilised residual sample material which had been held at -20oC at Future Fisheries Veterinary Service, East Ballina NSW, since collection during December 2016 and January 2017. Residual samples which were labelled as imported product either by signage at the retail outlet, or on product packaging were tested for:
1) Presence of bacteria that were of significance to aquaculture and public health (tested at the University of Adelaide)
2) Presence of resistance to a range of antimicrobials (tested at the University of Adelaide)
3) Presence of a suite of antimicrobials and other Ag-vet chemicals (tested at Queensland Government Chemical Residue Laboratory)

This project (2017-091) utilised residual sample material which had been held at -20oC at Future Fisheries Veterinary Service, East Ballina NSW, since collection during December 2016 and January 2017. Residual samples which were labelled as imported product either by signage at the retail outlet, or on product packaging were tested for:
1) Presence of bacteria that were of significance to aquaculture and public health (tested at the University of Adelaide)
2) Presence of resistance to a range of antimicrobials (tested at the University of Adelaide)
3) Presence of a suite of antimicrobials and other Ag-vet chemicals (tested at Queensland Government Chemical Residue Laboratory)

Need

Development of contingency plans for significant aquatic animal diseases is a critical first step in the management of disease outbreaks. In this respect, aquatic animal health policy development is lagging behind terrestrial animal health policy by approximately 20 years.

At the Melbourne workshops, all sectors of the fishing industry strongly supported the need for a national approach to aquatic animal disease control issues and identified the writing of contingency plans for disease incursions to be an important task. Also they noted there was a need to build on the unanimous support for this contingency planning process and there was an expectation that some generic, sectoral plans could be developed very rapidly.

Objectives

1. Write four generic (enclosed water
open freshwater
net/open culture marine
open marine) contingency planning manuals for the occurence of significant diseases in aquatic animals to draft form.
2. Following consultation with industry, State government and Commonwealth government representatives, produce four final generic contingency planning manuals.

Objectives

1. To examine and test the skills and abilities of the participants in group problem solving and decision making skills relating to emergency response procedures.
2. To increase participants knowledge of communication routes to be used in an emergency disease response by working through a scenario which mimics a real emergency situation.
3. To clearly define the roles within and between the various agencies involved and how they fit within the WA Emergency plan and AQUAPLAN frameworks.
4. To improve participants ability to mange tasks by prioritising a number of competing demands during the operational phase of an emergency response.
5. To increase participants understanding of the operational procedures in the Disease Emergency Response.
6. To familiarise participants with operational practices on a typical non maxima oyster lease.
7. To identify key areas for improvement in emergency management procedures across a range of subjects including planning, communication, staffing and resourcing.
8. To document an emergency response plan that can be implemented by industry stakeholders.
9. To familiarise AFFA staff with the problems inherent in managing disease in a remote location.

Summary

A two day disease emergency response workshop was held at Geraldton, Western Australia, in October 2002.  The objective of the exercise was to test the industry and government response to a disease emergency among non-maxima pearl farms at the Abrolhos Islands.  The exercise was coordinated by staff from the Commonwealth Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Australia and involved regional and head office staff from the Western Australian Departments of Fisheries and Agriculture as well as industry representatives.   During the two day exercise the participants worked through emergency scenarios as well as having to respond to unexpected obstacles proposed by the exercise coordinators.

The outcome of the exercise was the education of the participants in the operational procedures involved in a disease emergency response at the State level, an evaluation of the response with suggestions for improvements in emergency management planning, the documentation of an emergency management plan and input into the new Environmental Code of Practice for the industry.

Tactical Research Fund: Conduct of a Seafood Incident Response Plan (SIRP) trial for the aquaculture industry in Melbourne as a prelude to the Skretting Australasian Aquaculture Conference (AA12)

Need

Every time you fly, you listen to the flight attendant state, “In the unlikely event of an emergency, it is important that etc”. The message is continually reinforced so that, in the event of an incident, you will know exactly how to adopt the brace position and put on a life jacket.

Similarly, regular trials of the Seafood Incident Response Plan (SIRP) need to be held to reinforce industry awareness of its existence and ensure that the SIRP is responsive and relevant.

Australian seafood has an excellent reputation when it comes to food safety but we are potentially only one step from a disaster.

E.g. 22 December 2011 headlines “WA grown oysters off the Christmas Menu”. A headline such as this can have a highly detrimental effect on the Australian seafood industry if not properly managed. In this case, the SIRP was implemented as a level 1 emergency (Watching brief).

This does, however, highlight why it is important that the seafood industry is regularly reminded of the existence of the SIRP

SSA on behalf of the Australian seafood industry has been responsible for the development and ongoing maintenance of the SIRP.

The SIRP co-exists with other existing incident response protocols and provide guidance to the seafood industry as to how to respond and thus minimize damage to the industry resulting from an adverse incident.

This SIRP trial workshop is planned as a prelude to the Australasian Aquaculture Conference & Trade Show (1-4 May 2012, at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre)

A unique opportunity exists for key stakeholders to participate in the SIRP trial and attend the Conference.

The key outcomes from the workshop will be presented to conference delegates at Australasian Aquaculture.

The Australian aquaculture industry and associated supply chains will be the major focus of this particular trial.

Objectives

1. Industry awareness of the role of the Seafood Incident Response Plan will be increased and the linkages between the SIRP, the aquaculture sector, existing seafood recall plans, and emergency planning by food safety agencies will be tested.
2. A trial to test the responsiveness of the aquaculture sector and the wider seafood supply chain to a seafood incident will be conducted
3. The SIRP will be updated following the workshop to ensure that it remains responsive and relevant to today’s environment
4. Engagement with relevant food safety agencies will occur as the success of SIRP is about partnership and collaboration

Summary

Overview:

This Seafood Incident Response Plan (SIRP) was developed by Seafood Services Australia Ltd (SSA) in consultation with the seafood industry and relevant agencies to:

  • provide a proactive, easy-to-follow response to adverse incidents in the seafood industry
  • maintain Australia’s reputation as a provider of safe, high-quality seafood to its customers
  • strengthen consumer confidence in Australian seafood.

As a result of this project a seafood incident response plan was developed (framework with templates and forms) for use in the event of an incident. This can be downloaded below:
