The Australian Prawn Farmers Association (APFA) has been part of the Seafood CRC since inception. During that time numerous research projects have been undertaken and while every effort has been made by the APFA to capture final reports the Association lacks a complete summary of all research.
In addition, this can be expanded to include research undertaken via the FRDC, as well as other papers, commission reports and research relevant to Australian prawn farming. A one stop "house" for all these materials would be preferable.
The concept of a APFA report card has been discussed and the CRC is undertaking this work currently. However, this application aims to develop a project that creates a a single summary of all APFA research in the last 14 years.
Final report
The purpose of this project was to develop a single consolidated summary of all available research relevant to Australian prawn farming, by auditing all key research and reports (both academic and non-academic) published since 2000. The audit was required to note any issues on the current ease of accessing information and include recommendations to improve information access to ensure industry can find information quickly.
The outcomes of this research have been published as a database on the Australian Prawn Farmer’s Association Website www.apfa.com.au
