This proposal is in response to requests from salmon companies to provide short-term ocean forecasts for Tasmanian farm sites. With this information, they can plan operations in the upcoming months, in particular stocking rates, disease treatments, and staffing levels for cage maintenance.
1. Generate site specific seasonal water temperature statistical forecasts for three nominated farm sites.
2. Generate and test the skill of dynamical regional ocean forecasts using the BOM seasonal prediction model (POAMA)
3. Undertake cost-benefit analysis of the value of these short-term predictions for the salmon industry
