Summary

Vibrio spp. are bacteria that naturally occur in oysters. Some Vibrio spp. such as V. parahaemolyticus cause human disease when levels are high and oysters are eaten raw. Predictive tools can be used to estimate V. parahaemolyticus levels in oysters, and to monitor and design cold chains that enhance oyster safety and quality. Historically, international risk management strategies have been driven mostly by data and predictive models generated in the USA for the American (Eastern) oyster. This presents a risk to Australian companies if USA models are not relevant to V. parahaemolyticus growth profiles in Australian oyster species.

The Seafood CRC project's, 2007/700 and 2008/719, produced predictive models that confirmed V. parahaemolyticus shows a different temperature growth profile in Pacific and Sydney rock oysters. Through this travel grant, the results of these projects were communicated to an international audience of industry and government representatives at the World Seafood Congress. This activity advanced relationships with key USA and international policy makers that could influence commercial markets for Australian oysters. The meeting also provided a forum to interact with key researchers in the field, resulting in better definition of research programs that may benefit Australian companies.

The travel grant also provided an opportunity to meet with Dr Salina Parveen, a key collaborator with USA Food and Drug Administration in the development of predictive models used to manage the risk of Vibrio species in oysters. As a result, a forthcoming manuscript will be published that shows separate predictive models are needed for Australian oyster species.

Summary

This research travel grant allowed Seafood CRC PhD student, Daniel Pountney to travel to Thailand and Arizona to investigate current research and industry practices in regards to prawn aquaculture.

The initial travel involved a visit Bunjonk shrimp hatchery which is located in the Chachoengsao province of Thailand. The author was able to tour the farm and speak with Mrs Bunjonk who has been involved with growing shrimp for approximately 20 years. Their success is from stringent biosecurity measures within the hatchery and production of disease resistant P. monodon stocks from selectively bred broodstock. Whilst in Thailand, the author visited the Shrimp Biotechnology Business Unit (SBBU). SBBU is a government facility where they specialise in contract research for business, shrimp farmers, feed manufacturers and biotechnology laboratories. SBBU is equipped with large tank recirculation systems and functional molecular and microbiology laboratories for analysing samples.

The second part of the trip involved participation in the 2011 Shrimp Pathology Short Course which was run at the University of Arizona, Department of Microbiology and Veterinary Science and Microbiology in Tucson. The course involved structured lectures on viral, bacterial, parasitic, and nutritional diseases which affect cultured prawns and crab species worldwide and laboratory practicals in disease diagnostic methods.

This trip allowed the author to increase knowledge in the field of prawn disease using the most current methods to detect diseases and may be used in future research. New skills and methods were acquired for research including, molecular biology, bacteriological assays, histopathology and sampling techniques.

Summary

This research travel grant allowed Seafood CRC PhD student, Daniel Pountney to travel to Thailand and Arizona to investigate current research and industry practices in regards to prawn aquaculture.

The initial travel involved a visit Bunjonk shrimp hatchery which is located in the Chachoengsao province of Thailand. The author was able to tour the farm and speak with Mrs Bunjonk who has been involved with growing shrimp for approximately 20 years. Their success is from stringent biosecurity measures within the hatchery and production of disease resistant P. monodon stocks from selectively bred broodstock. Whilst in Thailand, the author visited the Shrimp Biotechnology Business Unit (SBBU). SBBU is a government facility where they specialise in contract research for business, shrimp farmers, feed manufacturers and biotechnology laboratories. SBBU is equipped with large tank recirculation systems and functional molecular and microbiology laboratories for analysing samples.

The second part of the trip involved participation in the 2011 Shrimp Pathology Short Course which was run at the University of Arizona, Department of Microbiology and Veterinary Science and Microbiology in Tucson.

This workshop was highly relevant to the PhD project, which involves study of the immune response of Atlantic Salmon as a means to design an experimental vaccine against Neoparamoeba perurans, the causative agent of amoebic gill disease (AGD). AGD is the main disease affecting the salmon industry in Tasmania, and the development a vaccine against the pathogen is remains a very high priority for its control.

Need

This project will analyse methylmercury concentrations within known trophic pathways to i) better establish the risk associated with eating seafood, ii) explain the disparity between environmental and biotic mercury levels and iii) determine the methylmercury contribution to varying trophic levels and thus clarify the relationship between total mercury loadings and bioaccumulation potential.
Human mercury exposure is primarily due to consumption of seafood (Chen et al. 2009), with young children and pregnant women most at risk.
The Derwent estuary is highly contaminated with mercury; with fish levels consistently exceeding FSANZ maximum permitted levels (0.5 mg kg-1). However, the literature is divided as to the source of mercury accumulation in fish; some studies suggest a strong influence from the surrounding water and sediments (Blevins and Pancorbo, 1986; Calta and Canpolat, 2006, Kehrig et al., 2010) whilst other studies suggest environmental levels are a poor indicator (Langlois et al., 1987, Verdouw et al., 2010) and that contamination arises through specific mercury bioaccumulation pathways.
Mercury accumulates in marine food webs as the organic form, methylmercury, which is particularly toxic, persistent and readily biomagnifies (Chen et al., 2009, Ward et al., 2010). Sediment mercury is largely inorganic and, depending on environmental conditions, frequently biologically unavailable (Chen et al., 2009). An important step in determining trophic accumulation and toxicity potential (“mercury budget”) is to establish the methylmercury component at each trophic level. Despite evidence that methylmercury percentages increase with trophic level (Kehrig et al., 2009; Kasper et al., 2009), there is no accurate way of predicting this component without direct measurement (Chen et al., 2008). This project proposes to analyse and document the methylmercury contributions to each of the key fish species listed and describe the influence of life-history, feeding preference, trophic level, and spatial and temporal differences on fish loadings.

Summary

Estuarine systems that are exposed to industrial pollutants often retain a high loading of contaminants, including mercury (Hg), due to prevailing physical, chemical and biological conditions. Estuarine biota are principally exposed to Hg through dietary uptake, which can lead to higher order species bioaccumulating significant concentrations that can also be harmful to human health if consumed. Methylmercury (MeHg) production, bioaccumulation, and biomagnification in estuarine food webs are broadly understood but our knowledge of Hg food pathways and selenium’s (Se) interaction with Hg is lacking. Current observations show poor correlation between bioaccumulation and environmental loadings, indicating that food web uptake and transfer of Hg are not straightforward. Understanding the mechanisms that underpin this variability is critical to quantifying and managing Hg exposure risks, and for developing appropriate management actions.

The studies within this thesis examined the bioavailability, trophic magnification and bioaccumulation of Hg within a contaminated estuary to provide better capacity to manage the ecosystem and human health concerns.

Methylmercury (MeHg) production, bioaccumulation, and biomagnification in estuarine food webs are broadly understood but our knowledge of Hg food pathways and selenium’s (Se) interaction with Hg is lacking. Current observations show poor correlation between bioaccumulation and environmental loadings, indicating that food web uptake and transfer of Hg are not straightforward. Understanding the mechanisms that underpin this variability is critical to quantifying and managing Hg exposure risks, and for developing appropriate management actions.

The studies within this thesis examined the bioavailability, trophic magnification and bioaccumulation of Hg within a contaminated estuary to provide better capacity to manage the ecosystem and human health concerns.

Summary

Estuarine systems that are exposed to industrial pollutants often retain a high loading of contaminants, including mercury (Hg), due to prevailing physical, chemical and biological conditions. Estuarine biota are principally exposed to Hg through dietary uptake, which can lead to higher order species bioaccumulating significant concentrations that can also be harmful to human health if consumed. Methylmercury (MeHg) production, bioaccumulation, and biomagnification in estuarine food webs are broadly understood but our knowledge of Hg food pathways and selenium’s (Se) interaction with Hg is lacking. Current observations show poor correlation between bioaccumulation and environmental loadings, indicating that food web uptake and transfer of Hg are not straightforward. Understanding the mechanisms that underpin this variability is critical to quantifying and managing Hg exposure risks, and for developing appropriate management actions.

Estuarine systems that are exposed to industrial pollutants often retain a high loading of contaminants, including mercury (Hg), due to prevailing physical, chemical and biological conditions. Estuarine biota are principally exposed to Hg through dietary uptake, which can lead to higher order species bioaccumulating significant concentrations that can also be harmful to human health if consumed. Methylmercury (MeHg) production, bioaccumulation, and biomagnification in estuarine food webs are broadly understood but our knowledge of Hg food pathways and selenium’s (Se) interaction with Hg is lacking. Current observations show poor correlation between bioaccumulation and environmental loadings, indicating that food web uptake and transfer of Hg are not straightforward. Understanding the mechanisms that underpin this variability is critical to quantifying and managing Hg exposure risks, and for developing appropriate management actions.

The studies within this thesis examined the bioavailability, trophic magnification and bioaccumulation of Hg within a contaminated estuary to provide better capacity to manage the ecosystem and human health concerns.

Summary

Estuarine systems that are exposed to industrial pollutants often retain a high loading of contaminants, including mercury (Hg), due to prevailing physical, chemical and biological conditions. Estuarine biota are principally exposed to Hg through dietary uptake, which can lead to higher order species bioaccumulating significant concentrations that can also be harmful to human health if consumed. Methylmercury (MeHg) production, bioaccumulation, and biomagnification in estuarine food webs are broadly understood but our knowledge of Hg food pathways and selenium’s (Se) interaction with Hg is lacking. Current observations show poor correlation between bioaccumulation and environmental loadings, indicating that food web uptake and transfer of Hg are not straightforward. Understanding the mechanisms that underpin this variability is critical to quantifying and managing Hg exposure risks, and for developing appropriate management actions.

Methylmercury (MeHg) production, bioaccumulation, and biomagnification in estuarine food webs are broadly understood but our knowledge of Hg food pathways and selenium’s (Se) interaction with Hg is lacking. Current observations show poor correlation between bioaccumulation and environmental loadings, indicating that food web uptake and transfer of Hg are not straightforward. Understanding the mechanisms that underpin this variability is critical to quantifying and managing Hg exposure risks, and for developing appropriate management actions.

The studies within this thesis examined the bioavailability, trophic magnification and bioaccumulation of Hg within a contaminated estuary to provide better capacity to manage the ecosystem and human health concerns.

Summary

Estuarine systems that are exposed to industrial pollutants often retain a high loading of contaminants, including mercury (Hg), due to prevailing physical, chemical and biological conditions. Estuarine biota are principally exposed to Hg through dietary uptake, which can lead to higher order species bioaccumulating significant concentrations that can also be harmful to human health if consumed. Methylmercury (MeHg) production, bioaccumulation, and biomagnification in estuarine food webs are broadly understood but our knowledge of Hg food pathways and selenium’s (Se) interaction with Hg is lacking. Current observations show poor correlation between bioaccumulation and environmental loadings, indicating that food web uptake and transfer of Hg are not straightforward. Understanding the mechanisms that underpin this variability is critical to quantifying and managing Hg exposure risks, and for developing appropriate management actions.

Estuarine systems that are exposed to industrial pollutants often retain a high loading of contaminants, including mercury (Hg), due to prevailing physical, chemical and biological conditions. Estuarine biota are principally exposed to Hg through dietary uptake, which can lead to higher order species bioaccumulating significant concentrations that can also be harmful to human health if consumed. Methylmercury (MeHg) production, bioaccumulation, and biomagnification in estuarine food webs are broadly understood but our knowledge of Hg food pathways and selenium’s (Se) interaction with Hg is lacking. Current observations show poor correlation between bioaccumulation and environmental loadings, indicating that food web uptake and transfer of Hg are not straightforward. Understanding the mechanisms that underpin this variability is critical to quantifying and managing Hg exposure risks, and for developing appropriate management actions.

The studies within this thesis examined the bioavailability, trophic magnification and bioaccumulation of Hg within a contaminated estuary to provide better capacity to manage the ecosystem and human health concerns.

Need

Commercial fishing is one of the most energy intensive food production methods today and the Australian industry consumes approximately 205 million litres of diesel fuel per annum. The fishing industry needs to radically improve the energy efficiency of its operations primarily due to the rising cost of fuel and its effect on operating margins. The recent rapid increase in cost of diesel has reduced margins to such a low level that it is rapidly becoming uneconomical for operators to continue to trade. This has significant flow-on effects down the whole production-processing-retail chain.

In addition there is a global need to reduce the emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and carbon dioxide (CO2) from fossil fuel combustion. The global fisheries industries emit annually more than 130 million tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere.

Trawling is a very energy intensive fishing method, for example Australian prawn trawlers incur fuel costs of approximately 35% of total production costs. The use of alternative auxiliary powering systems, such as sails, has the potential to radically reduce fuel consumption by a combination of providing supplementary propulsive thrust and reducing vessel motions and consequent drag.

Several fishers in Australia have installed sails onto their vessels with the aim of reducing fuel consumption, but no investigations have been conducted to ascertain the effect the auxiliary systems actually have on fuel consumption, performance and costs. The results from an energy audit on such a vessel would provide valuable information to other fishers on the benefits, or otherwise, of fitting such a system to their vessel.

The need for this work was highlighted by the results from recent FRDC sponsored energy audits of fishing vessels. The 1st International Symposium on Energy Efficiency in Fishing was held in May 2010 and clearly emphasised the need for continuing RD&E in this area.

Objectives

1. Energy audit (level 2) on prawn trawler fitted with auxiliary sail system.
2. Collect data on effect of use of sail system on fuel consumption in varying environmental conditions.
3. Analyse energy audit data to determine effect of sail system on fuel consumption.
4. Disseminate information on effect of sail auxiliary power system to owners and operators of fishing vessels.
