The Future Harvest Theme of the AS-CRC emphasises the management of wild fish stocks to maximise profitability. On a basic level this involves optimising the balance between higher catch (or revenue) and residual stock (to control costs). This for example is the concept behind current initiatives...
The PhD project ties in with two Seafood CRC Themes (Breeding for Profit and Finfish/Aquaculture) and a current Seafood CRC project – AGD Vaccine Phase III (FRDC 2008/750), one of the three priority research projects funded by the Tasmanian Salmonid Growers Association (TSGA). The PhD project will...
This application was developed in full consultation with the APFA, and stems from the commercial advantages of obtaining an all female P.monodon population. It follows three years of research by the applicants (funded by a collaborative arrangement between the Queensland Government and the...
This project will improve first feeding and increase survival of larval Southern Bluefin Tuna (SBT) in culture. The Seafood CRC has significant investment in SBT aquaculture, in support of Clean Seas Tuna (CST), to establish a sustainable aquacultured SBT industry projected to be valued at >$200...
This project melds three research streams to investigate how tourism experiences may result in an overarching country-image halo, which in turn influences perceptions of a country’s food products and purchase behaviour in the tourists’ home countries. Firstly, research in country of origin (COO)...
Change to ITQ management in SRL fisheries has led to change in fishing patterns in order to decrease costs. ITQs in theory reduce completion between fishers through providing property rights, but these rights are imperfect and there still exists incentives for individual fishers to pursue strategies...
Considerable research and funding are invested into the development and assessment of optimal feeds for the various aquaculture species and aquaculture conditions. Currently the process to evaluate aquaculture diets involves lengthy and expensive feed trials. The main aim of the proposed study is to...
