Reseeding
2001/033 - Enhancement of populations of abalone in NSW using hatchery-produced seed
Current Research
Researcher:
Dr M (Mike) Heasman Ph: (02) 49821232 Fax: (02) 49821107
NSW Fisheries
PMB 1 Nelson Bay NSW 2315
Objectives:
- To further improve abalone spawning, hatchery and nursery technology as a means of reducing costs of producing seed used either for fisheries enhancement, ranching or on-farming
- To further develop techniques of enhancing the survival and growth of four size-classes of hatchery-produced seed, released on coastal reefs in New South Wales
- To develop reliable benefit and cost models for enhancing the New South Wales abalone fishery incorporating lower cost methods of producing these seed (Objective 1) and validated age /size specific survival rates for 4 classes of seed and key factors favouring high survival (Objective 2)
- To develop and implement new policy, legislation and regulations that will enable future ranching of abalone in New South Wales and that will ensure equitable distribution of resultant benefits among stakeholders i.e. abalone fishery shareholders, indigenous groups and the general public (recreational fishers)
- To establish terms of reference( scope), generalised methods and indicative costs of developing a GIS based mapping of coastal reefs as an aid to abalone fisheries enhancement, ranching and related reef monitoring and management issues.

Insulin-like Growth Factors
1999/305 - Development of immuno-assays to measure markers of growth and stress in farmed fish
Current Research
Researcher:
Dr J (John) Carragher Ph: (08) 82012279 Fax: (08) 82013015
Cooperative Research Centre for Tissue Growth and Repair
GPO Box 2100 Adelaide SA 5001
Objectives:
- To produce reagents and develop immunoassays for measuring plasma IGF concentrations in commercially significant fish species
- To use these immunoassays to measure plasma IGF concentrations in fish used in studies examining changes in growth, development, health, stress or nutritional status
- To determine if there is any correlation between these measurements indicating that plasma IGF measurements can be used as a diagnostic marker of growth performance or response to stress in farmed fish
