SCRC: IB Shrimp Pathology Short Course Caitlin Ringuet
Final report
Central to the success of a health and biosecurity support network for prawn aquaculture is training of industry members. Without an understanding of specific diseases and their mechanisms, it is difficult to correctly diagnose an outbreak and carryout appropriate biosecurity measure in response to contain and prevent further spread.
Training of technical farm staff is important to reduce potential deleterious impacts of disease outbreaks from overseas on the industry and is essential to safeguard our small yet resilient farming community. This industry bursary was intended to facilitate the training of a farm technician in the detection and diagnosis of known diseases of significance to global prawn production.
