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: Population genetic structure of Sea Cucumbers (bêche-de-mer) in Northern Australia

Sandfish (Holothuria scabra), a commercially important species of Sea Cucumber, are fished off the northern Australian coast. Elsewhere in the Asia-Pacific region, where they are commonly fished, they have been found to be particularly vulnerable to over-exploitation. Currently, as little is known...

Seafood CRC: Understanding Yellowtail Kingfish

This broad ranging project took a subproject approach to examine several issues that ultimately relate to product yield and quality attributes of farmed Yellowtail Kingfish (YTK) grown in sea cages. Within this project, the performance (survival and growth) of fish stocked into sea cages was...

Seafood CRC: Development of a genetic management and improvement strategy for Australian cultured Barramundi

The aim of this study was to review existing Barramundi-related genetic knowledge to identify relevant research and where the R&D gaps preventing instigation of Barramundi breeding programs presently exist. They identified and prioritised the research and steps that need to be taken to establish...

Seafood CRC: benefit-cost analysis of marker assisted selection in Australian aquaculture species

This project relates to the research strategies developed by the CRC from projects that have scoped selective breeding for abalone, Yellowtail Kingfish and Barramundi. There is potential that genetic marker assisted selection (MAS) techniques could greatly speed the genetic progress in these...
