Skeletal deformities have been observed in cultured flounder in recent years. At times, high percentages of fish are affected, potentially influencing growth and marketability, and affecting the reliability of the experimental data collected. Many growers taking fish for pilot scale grow-out trials...
This report details the results of a multifaceted research program led by the Institute for Marine & Antarctic Studies, University of Tasmania in collaboration with the School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, The University of Adelaide. The work was undertaken to better evaluate post-harvest...
This project was a CRC travel grant and involved a series of training activities for improved knowledge of the Vibrio monitoring and risk management in oysters which were conducted in Ocean Springs-Biloxi, Mississippi and Dauphin Island, Alabama, USA in November 2010.
The outcomes of this trip were...
The main aim of this project was to engage with national and international industry members, researchers and managers, working on topics similar to CRC projects elsewhere in the world. The CRC Abalone Forum was run in Hobart in May 2012, in conjunction the 8th International Abalone Symposium in...
Dr. Paw Dalgaard of the Danish Technical University is internationally recognised for his work on microbial quality, spoilage and safety of fish. His research studies are made accessible to industry through internet software that can be used to predict the growth of bacteria of interest on seafood...
Spoilage of fresh fish products by the action of bacteria is one of the main causes of the short shelf-life of these products. A range of bacteria are responsible for this and are referred to collectively as "spoilage bacteria". Currently methods to detect both spoilage of the product and the...
The purpose of this travel grant was to conduct collaborative research to:
Investigate gene expression in early amoebic gill disease (AGD), including gene expression in different cell types to investigate AGD pathogenesis using metabonomics and assess further applications of metabonomics to...
