Sustainable Fishing Families: Developing industry human capital through health, wellbeing, safety and resilience

This project conducted the first national survey of the health, safety and wellbeing of the Australian professional fishing industry in 2017. The results of the survey provide a baseline for the state of the wild-catch industry members across a range of indicators, including reported physical and...

Patterns of interaction between habitat and oceanographic variables affecting the connectivity and productivity of invertebrate fisheries

A better understanding of the links between benthic habitat, oceanography, and fisheries productivity is a major priority of the Blacklip Abalone, Haliotis rubra, and Southern Rock Lobster, Jasus edwardsii, industries to improve sustainable management of these important natural resources. This...

Applications of molecular biology to management of the abalone fishery

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.

Objectives

1. Identification and characterisation of species-specific antigenic determinants that are heat-stable components of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on pathogenic gram-negative bacteria.

2. Prepare a library of species and genus-specific monoclonal antibodies against the heat-stable LPS components of pathogenic gram-negative bacteria

3. Select appropriate hybridomas, that produce high affinity monoclonal antibodies, for transfer to strategic companies

4. Complete the testing of specific LPS fragments extracted from one Vibrio species to produce vaccine against all Vibrio pathogens

5. Use the same approach as in (4) to test the genus-specific protection afforded by similar LPS fragrments extracted from additional pathogens, particularly Aeromonas salmonicida

6. Develop and market commercial products for use rapid diagnoses and in research of infections of wild and cultured fish and shellfish
