The Molecular Biology group at the Animal Health Laboratory of the Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water & Environment, provides diagnostic and disease investigation services for aquaculture industries in Tasmania. The increasing reliance on molecular techniques for the detection and identification of disease agents in aquatic animal health is undeniable. Due to the ever increasing number and more efficient molecular techniques becoming available and the dynamic nature of newly emerging pathogens, specialist training is increasingly important for the delivery of effective and useful services to aquaculture. Presently, species identification relies heavily on biochemical tests and cellular fatty acid analysis, or 16S rDNA gene sequencing, all of which at times can be non-definitive. Multi-locus sequence analysis uses several housekeeping genes to assign a species designations, and is a technique that is easy to use, accurate, and has great discriminatory power (McTaggart et al., 2010). The multi locus sequencing skills acquired would enable us to more specifically and accurately perform species identification and determine genetic diversity among different isolates and build up a gene bank of sequences in the future.
1. Obtain training in advanced molecular biology techniques with an emphasis on DNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis at a known international specialist laboratory
2. Undertake training in bioinformatics programmes with an emphasis on Multilocus Sequence Analysis (MLSA) at a known international specialist laboratory

There is a need to train industry in disease control strategies that will also contribute to the effectiveness of emergency control activities. The areas where this will have greatest impact are field activities and industry liaison. There is also a need to train existing government agencies skilled in areas of emergency response to effectively respond to aquatic animal diseases.
Field activities are determined by the cause of the emergency, species involved and the communities affected. Considering Tasmania’s population and accompanying financial constraints there is a need for emergency response personnel to be trained and available for action in both terrestrial and aquatic environments.
1. Revision of the Tasmanian Fish Health Plan ensuring current relevance to Tasmania with special reference to stakeholder liaison.
2. Incorporation of the Tasmanian Fish Health Plan into the Tasmanian Animal Disease Emergency Management Plan and the Tasmanian Control Centre Manual.
3. Audit the resulting version of the Tasmanian Control Centre Manual according to National Performance Standards.

Assessment of optimal trapping techniques to control densities of northern Pacific seastars on marine farm leases
The principal aims of this study were to evaluate whether the locally produced Whayman-Holdsworth trap provides an effective method for minimising Asterias amurensis infestations on shellfish farms, and to objectively assess the value of seastar traps when used in commercial applications.

The second international symposium on abalone biology fisheries and culture
The First International Symposium on Abalone Biology, Fisheries and Culture was held in La Paz, Mexico in November 1989. In the closing session of that symposium it was decided to hold the second abalone symposium in Australia in 1993 or 1994. Subsequently, Hobart was chosen as the site and 7-11...
