SCRC: Yellowtail Kingfish genetics: commercialisation strategies
Previously, we have implemented a selective breeding program for Yellowtail Kingfish (YTK) and today all production is based on genetically selected stock, which is up to 20% superior than the wild stock.
This current project focuses on whether realized selection response was achieved and adds:

Seafood CRC: Towards all female Penaeus monodon populations using androgenic gland manipulations
Australian prawn aquaculture production is based predominantly on P. monodon farming, with larger sized prawns attract premium prices in the local market. Females grow significantly larger than males, and hence, a technology to develop all-female monosex populations would offer competitive advantage...

Seafood CRC: genetic technologies to support a transformation to profitability and competitiveness in F. merguiensis and P. monodon
Seafarm, at Cardwell, for most of the last 20 years, has been Australia’s largest prawn farm and the major producer of Banana Prawns. This producer wanted to understand and resolve the suspected inbreeding/ loss of diversity issues, and if necessary, redesign their breeding program to ensure it...

SCRC: Synthesis of Australian Prawn Farmers Association research for extension to industry and relevant stakeholders
The purpose of this project was to develop a single consolidated summary of all available research relevant to Australian prawn farming, by auditing all key research and reports (both academic and non-academic) published since 2000. The audit was required to note any issues on the current ease of...

SCRC: RTG: Laboratory visit to be trained to analyse oyster (Sydney Rock Oysters) histology sections, Elizabeth Macarthur Agricultural Institute, NSW
While histology and its meaningful analysis are important skills to possess, most histological work conducted at the University of the Sunshine Coast heavily focuses on human histology, with some vertebrate histology, whereas knowledge about the analysis of oyster histology slides is lacking.

SCRC: SCRC RTG: Training in endocrine diagnostic techniques and hormone analysis of thermally challenged female Atlantic Salmon broodstock
The purpose of the research was to determine whether the endocrine profiles of plasma follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) changed as a result of thermal exposure, broodstock age or hormonal treatment in farmed female Atlantic Salmon. FSH promotes the production of...

SCRC: PhD : The effect of temperature on reproductive development in maiden and repeat spawning farmed Atlantic Salmon: Understanding the molecular basis for improved egg quality and survival
Tasmanian Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) broodstock can encounter temperatures above 20°C, which has a marked negative effect on reproductive development. Broodstock management strategies are needed in order to maintain egg quality in the face of thermal challenge either due to seasonal...
