Objectives

1. To apply modern molecular biology techniques to identifying the genetic composition and structure of blacklip abalone populations.
2. To tranfer the results of techniques that best identify abalone populations to abalone fishery managers.
3. To utilise the techniques developed to identify abalone populations in enforcement situations.

Summary

The proposed research project was set up to establish DNA-based molecular DNA assays for the DNA fingerprinting (i.e. profiling) of abalone.  This would provide tools for examining populations differences at a molecular genetic level.
