SCRC: SCRC Honours Scholarship H4.6 Effect of temperature and plant protein inclusion on the growth factor gene expression in Yellowtail Kingfish (Jian Qin; Student Geoffrey Collins)

In this study the suitability of canola oil (CO) and poultry fat (PO) as alternatives to fish oil (FO) was assessed. Furthermore, a real-time RT-qPCR assay to detect hepatic insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) was developed. Four isoproteic...

SCRC: SCRC Honours Scholarship H3.1– Impact of commercial hatchery practices on the contribution of broodstock to offspring and genetic diversity in the Yellowtail Kingfish breeding program (Dr Alex Safari: Student Daniel Tan)

Using small numbers of broodstock for breeding often leads to random drift in gene frequencies between generations. Effective population size (Ne) is used as an indicator to assess the rate of inbreeding and loss of genetic variation in small populations. In this study we used six microsatellites,...

SCRC: SCRC Honours Scholarship H4.10 - Impact of fish oil replacement on the expression of antioxidant genes and genes involved in the synthesis of highly unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids in YTK liver and muscle tissue. (Dr Kathy Schuller; Student Nathan Rout-Pitt)

Fish flesh contains high levels of omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFA) such as eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are beneficial for human health to help brain and neural development, decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease and help various other...

SCRC: Developing efficient diagnostic tools for assessing resistance to viral infection in abalone and oysters

The project examined the genetic basis of antiviral resistance in oysters and abalone in response to the significant disease threats posed by oyster and abalone herpesviruses. Laboratory-based systems for the growth and assay of such viruses are problematic. The project undertook to measure the...

SCRC: SCRC Honours Scholarship H4.5 Improved Yellowtail Kingfish Growth Response, Flesh Quality and PUFA content through Biorefinery Microalgae LC-PUFA Aqua-Feed Additives (Prof Wei Zhang; Student Kopano Maso Machailo)

Yellowtail Kingfish is an emerging aquaculture species, and there is an increase in the demand for the fish, both for recreational fishing and for export purposes. This has led to the growth of the aquaculture industry that specialises in culture of yellowtail kingfish in South Australia. Currently...
