Aquatic Animal Health Subprogram: Bonamiasis in farmed Native Oysters (Ostrea angasi)

Infection with Bonamia sp. was responsible for the devastation of experimental aquaculture of the native oyster Ostrea angasi and adjacent wild beds in Victoria in the early 1990s. Native Oyster culture is expanding around Australia to mitigate the risk associated with OsHV-1 microvariant in Pacific...

Determining the susceptibility of Australian Penaeus monodon and Penaeus merguiensis to newly identified enzootic (YHV7) and exotic (YHV8 and YHV10) Yellow head virus (YHV) genotypes

Yellow head virus genotype 1 (YHV1) emerged in the early 1990s as the cause of mass mortalities of giant tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon) in Thailand. In Thailand YHV continues to cause production losses and has become established as a pathogen in Pacific white prawn (P. vannamei). YHV1 has...

Understanding the factors contributing to decreased school prawn productivity in Camden Haven Estuary and associated lakes, to target ameliorative actions

Camden Haven is a large, wave dominated barrier estuary on the New South Wales North Coast, and contains two main shallow lake areas – Queens Lake and Watson Taylor Lake. Queens Lake is connected to the lower main arm of the estuary by a 3 km channel called Stingray Creek, and Watson-Taylor Lake is...

Estimating the impacts of management changes on bycatch reduction and sustainability of high-risk bycatch species in the Queensland East Coast Otter Trawl Fishery

It has been estimated that tropical prawn trawl fisheries generate between 27-35% of bycatch globally. This is due to the relatively small size of the target species, requiring the use of small mesh sizes which results in an inherently non-selective method of capture. Previous research in Queensland...
