Need

Like any thriving aquaculture industry, the Atlantic salmon industry needs to continually address biological challenges, market and development opportunities and production efficiencies through a coordinated research effort. This enables the industry to ensure sustainability, profitability and to develop to its full potential. The salmon industry does this through a mix of tactical (projects that addresses issues of immediate concern) and strategic (projects addressing longer-term development issues) research. This is achieved through industry strategic plans and to developing collaborative research projects that address industry bottlenecks and avoid duplication and unnecessary expenditure of a finite research funding base.

The SAS provides the delivery mechanism for this approach by ensuring that research is:
- addressing strategic research priorities,
- outcome focussed,
- supported by industry and management,
- adequately funded,
- properly managed and reviewed,
- properly delivered to stakeholders.

The SAS Aquaculture Implementation Committee is also a fundamental management instrument of the Aquafin CRC, providing a vehicle through which the objectives of both the FRDC and Aquafin CRC are realised.

Objectives

1. To administer and co-ordinate the activities of the SAS.
2. To review project proposals, milestone reports and final reports to ensure stakeholder relevance.
3. To facilitate and chair meetings of the SAS Implementation Committee (SASIC).
4. To ensure appropriate liaison between beneficiaries and research providers in the Salmon Sector and to integrate with other finfish sectors.
5. To communicate findings of the SAS through: a) An annual conference held in conjunction with the Aquafin CRC
b) specialist workshops on topics identified through the course of the program
and c) relevant articles in the CRC newsletters - Aquasplash and Salmon Snapshots
