Undertaking an audit and assessment of past Australian aquaculture research, development and extension for all species, to determine what factors led to successful or not successful development of the aquaculture species

This report presents the results of an FRDC project that audited research effort and industry adoption for aquaculture species in Australia and overseas. The goal was to identify opportunities and barriers for commercial aquaculture production. The study involved online surveys, one for scientists...

Decadal scale projection of changes in Australian fisheries stocks under climate change

Australia's oceans are undergoing rapid change and changes in fish distribution, abundance and phenology have been widely reported. A first step in ensuring that the fisheries of Australia adapt effectively to climate change is an understanding of the historical and projected changes in the species...

Aquaculture diet development subprogram - Development of more cost effective salmon feeds for the Tasmanian atlantic salmon industry

Project number: 1993-126
Project Status:
Completed
Budget expenditure: $73,000.00
Principal Investigator: Peter Lee
Organisation: CSIRO
Project start/end date: 6 Sep 1993 - 22 Jun 1996
Contact:
FRDC

Objectives

1. To establish baseline data on chemical and physical characteristics of commercial feeds used by the Tasmanian Atlantic salmon industry
2. To establish baseline data on carcass composition of locally farmed Atlantic salmon
3. To determine the digestibility of current and potential feed ingredients for Tasmanian Atlantic salmon
4. To determine optimum protein to energy ratios for growth and food conversion for Tasmanian Atlantic salmonat different stages of the production cycle
5. To determine the effect of feed formulation and feeding regime on Tasmanian Atlantic salmon carcass composition

Mechanical Biofouling

Project number: 1992-153
Project Status:
Completed
Budget expenditure: $42,000.00
Principal Investigator: Tom Lewis
Organisation: CSIRO
Project start/end date: 31 May 1993 - 28 Jun 1995
Contact:
FRDC

Objectives

1. To design and manufacture a prototype mechanical device for in situ cleaning of salmon ne biofouling
2. To determine the optimum mechanism by which biofouling can be removed from salmon nets, without the necessity of removing the nets from service
3. To design and commission an automated system with which a suitable cleaning device can be applied, in situ, to salmon nets
