SCRC: Development of Yellowtail Kingfish aquaculture in Western Australia: Removal of barriers to profitable production.

Western Australia's extensive coastline is currently underutilized for marine finfish production, yet a recent Aquaculture Development Council discussion paper pointed out that aquaculture sites along this coastline can collectively host between 25,000 and 100,000 tons of annual finfish production....

SCRC: Developing efficient diagnostic tools for assessing resistance to viral infection in abalone and oysters

Herpesviruses can potentially destroy Australia's oyster and abalone fisheries, with aquaculture being particularly vulnerable. One of the few interventions available to these industries is to breed genetically resistant stock. The breeding programs currently underway have focussed on other...

Seafood CRC: optimisation of viral clearance from broodstock prawns using targeted RNA interference

In September 2011, APFA/CSIRO wrote to all Giant Tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon) farmers to ask for feedback on whether the removal of viral pathogens from wild and/or domesticated broodstock would benefit their commercial production systems, and where this sat in terms of their R&D priorities. This...

Seafood CRC: recovering a collapsed abalone stock through translocation

This project is in response to a catastrophic mortality of a commercial abalone fishery in Western Australia due to an anomalous environmental event in the summer of 2010/11. During this event, termed a "marine heatwave", SST rose to lethal levels for this species (roe's abalone) and effectively...

Seafood CRC: genetic selection for Amoebic Gill Disease (AGD) resilience in the Tasmanian Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) breeding program

Amoebic gill disease (AGD) continues to have a significant economic impact upon production of sea-farmed Atlantic salmon in Tasmania. The disease is initiated by attachment of trophozoites of the marine ectoparasite Neoparamoeba perurans, causing a host gill tissue response that expresses grossly as...
