Abalone diver observation collection, analysis and reporting system for improved management decision making

This project was an industry-led and highly collaborative project to develop a rigorous and cost-effective electronic platform to gather abalone divers’ observations of abalone stocks in situ that could be useful to inform the management of Australian abalone fisheries.

Seafood CRC: Extending biotoxin capability and research in Australia through development of an experimental biotoxin contamination facility to target industry relevant issues

A short-term experimental biotoxin contamination facility was set up at Roseworthy, South Australia, to examine the uptake and depuration of marine biotoxins from one of the most toxic dinoflagellates known, Alexandrium catenella. Over the period of one year, SARDI’s Seafood Food Safety group...

Need

FRDC has recently devolved responsibility for strategic priorities and direction to industry. Consequently the functions described in this application are needed to plan and manage AAGA's RD&E portfolio in partnership with FRDC to ensure that research continues to provide results that address
key priority areas of the industry. Specifically the functions needed to achieve this are:

a) Develop collaborations with R&D agencies to assist development of RD&E projects needed to address issues described in the AAGA Strategic Plan 2015-2020, including:
(i) Sustainable development of the industry;
(ii) Maintaining and enhancing biosecurity and abalone health;
(iii) An emphasis on abalone health via nutrition;
(iv) Increases in production efficiency and profitability;
(v) Enhanced market development of quality abalone products;
(vi) Improved human capacity, safety and training

b) Ensure effective and rapid dissemination, extension and uptake of the outcomes of R&D to AAGA members.

c) Identify alternative sources of funding that can be accessed through co-investment in additional RD&E projects to achieve greater outcomes for the farmed abalone industry.

Objectives

1. Coordinate development of RD&E projects in line with AAGA/FRDC IPA.
2. Publish an annual industry report and distribute to AAGA members
3. Manage communications with AAGA members.
4. Organise an annual industry workshop and other special topic workshops as required.
5. Review and update the AAGA RD&E strategic plan.
6. Promote the industry's viability and sustainability and social licence to operate.

Summary

This report describes the outcomes from a five-year Industry Partnership Agreement (IPA) between Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC) and the Australian Abalone Gowers Association (AAGA). The project was led by AAGA Executive Officer, Nicholas Savva with assistance from members of the AAGA management committee. The primary objective of the IPA was to coordinate R&D related to abalone farming funded through FRDC and other sources. To ensure involvement of members in the development and running of that R&D. And extension to members for uptake of research outcomes.
During the five years 15 abalone and related R&D projects were conducted with $853,000 contributed via the IPA and considerably more from research institutions and in kind from farms and other participants including feed manufacturers. Projects supported by the IPA were consistent with the priorities in the AAGA Strategic Plan 2015-2020. Ten of the 15 projects are now complete, or near completion. All the projects have delivered benefits to the industry.
Nutrition has long been and will continue to be a focus for AAGA R&D.
Knowledge of abalone genetics including the genetic pool on farms and the nature of abalone responses to AVG and to higher summer water temperatures will aid selective breeding.
Improvements to biosecurity and vigilant surveillance has resulted in robust on farm biosecurity plans and no disease outbreaks on farms.
During this project AAGA developed a new strategic plan that will guide research in a new IPA to cover the period from 2020 – 2025 was completed. Significant outcomes from the new Strategic Plan include:
• The need for stronger links between nutrition and genetic selection especially in response to warming waters.
• The need to develop and embrace AI and mechanisation to improve labour efficiencies and invest in our labour force to provide improved quality employment opportunities.
• Recognition that additional funding for R&D will need to be sourced.

The primary objective of the IPA was to coordinate R&D related to abalone farming funded through FRDC and other sources. To ensure involvement of members in the development and running of that R&D. And extension to members for uptake of research outcomes.
During the five years 15 abalone and related R&D projects were conducted with $853,000 contributed via the IPA and considerably more from research institutions and in kind from farms and other participants including feed manufacturers. Projects supported by the IPA were consistent with the priorities in the AAGA Strategic Plan 2015-2020. Ten of the 15 projects are now complete, or near completion. All the projects have delivered benefits to the industry.
Nutrition has long been and will continue to be a focus for AAGA R&D.
Knowledge of abalone genetics including the genetic pool on farms and the nature of abalone responses to AVG and to higher summer water temperatures will aid selective breeding.
Improvements to biosecurity and vigilant surveillance has resulted in robust on farm biosecurity plans and no disease outbreaks on farms.
During this project AAGA developed a new strategic plan that will guide research in a new IPA to cover the period from 2020 – 2025 was completed. Significant outcomes from the new Strategic Plan include:
• The need for stronger links between nutrition and genetic selection especially in response to warming waters.
• The need to develop and embrace AI and mechanisation to improve labour efficiencies and invest in our labour force to provide improved quality employment opportunities.
• Recognition that additional funding for R&D will need to be sourced.
