Seafood CRC: improving quality of Australian Sardines through utilization of flow-ice technology

This project assessed the utility of flow-ice in preserving the freshness of Australian Sardines from the point of harvest to processing, and wholesale and retail supply chains. Trials were carried out on the Gemma Marie (White Fisheries) based at Port Lincoln, South Australia. Experiments involved...

Need

Some examples of useful software tools needed to support breeding programs in the CRC would be:
•Models to simulate selective breeding programs and to determine economic weights of key traits and optimise the breeding program design accordingly.
• Relational database systems for effective, reliable recording, storage and output of relational data (pedigree, phenotypes, genotypes etc.)
• Pedigree analysis software or procedures
• Genetic analysis software or procedures
• Software that assists development of multiple trait selection indices incorporating economic weights for key target traits
• Software that helps guide mate selection (including optimum contribution selection tools)

Each breeding program in the Seafood CRC will ultimately need to know:
•What type of software do other established breeding programs (in aquaculture and other primary production) require and use?
• What software is already available, from where and from who? What problems do the tools address and what do they enable?
• Which software tools are applicable or easily adapted to aquaculture?
• What level of adaptation would be required for the adoption of existing tools into aquaculture and what resources (skills) would this need?
• Which tools could address common problems across different aquaculture sectors?
• What level of skill is needed to operate the software?
• Does the software have good documentation and do the developers offer support services?
• Is the software freely available, available at a price, available to partners or maintained as a trade secret?
• Might it be useful to link to other breeding companies or organizations (aquatic, livestock or forestry) to access existing tools or expertise for developing such tools?
• Are there initiatives underway or being planned that aim to develop useful new software for aquaculture and might the CRC be able to link to such initiatives?

Summary

The Australian Seafood Cooperative Research Center is developing a Theme Business Plan to support and coordinate a cooperative approach to aquaculture genetics research in the CRC. One of the needs identified in the development of this plan is the provision of tools and technologies to facilitate the planning and implementation of selective breeding programs. This is already a target for the oyster industry and will develop as an important need for a range of other aquaculture production sectors. Such tools will be important in order to “respond to, take advantage and meet the increased demand for seafood”. A common requirement for selective breeding programs is good software management tools. These tools are essential in order to keep track of individuals and important information relating to them (pedigree, treatment, trait data, marker information, estimated breeding values etc) and to streamline genetic analysis and decision making.

Need

Australian and Canadian fisheries face the challenges of evolving domestic and international policies that call for the move to full implementation of ‘ecosystem’ and ‘integrated’ management approaches, to allow sustainable management of multiple coastal activities during a time of increasing market (and general public) pressure for sustainability. The evolving landscape of management demands increased participation of fisheries with other activities in integrated management processes and shared stewardship responsibility. A workshop in March 2014 summarised progress in implementing an ecosystem approach to fisheries, with emphasis on social and economic aspects, and how these can contribute to the generation of a ‘license to manage’ for fisheries management agencies (FRDC Report F2013/436, in prep). One recommendation of the workshop was for further exploration of integrated management approaches that encompasses the broader dimensions and users of the marine ecosystem.

This proposal will build on the 2014 workshop in a study of Australian and Canadian experience in applied integrated ocean management. We propose to focus on case studies including the NSW Marine Estate Management; Canadian Bay of Fundy Marine Advisory Committee (and related initiatives); Great Barrier Reef Marine Park; Spencer Gulf and Ecosystem Development Initiative; and Great Australian Bight. We will establish a network to compile, compare, and assess methodologies, policies/frameworks and progress.

Objectives

1. Compile, review and compare Australian and Canadian experience in implementing integrated coastal/ocean management.

Need

Uncertainty poses a major challenge to the management and utilisation of marine fish resources. Significant efforts are made by fishing nations to estimate numbers and condition of exploited fish stocks, but assessments frequently bring unexpected results that range from relatively small shifts from former prognoses to changes of a significant and potentially detrimental magnitude. Such errors may be due to biased calculations or unaccounted causes of mortality, but can also stem from unforeseen changes in fish distribution or behaviour which remain unaccounted for.

To meet this challenge, SARDI and the University of Iceland aim to work together towards a solution that involves construction of a modeling environment, a “Multiverse”, which is a 3D modelled and data assimilated world of ocean physics and the living organism that can be evaluated with hindcasts and used to produce short- and long-term forecasts, as well as to test and answer key questions on climate change and fisheries monitoring/management.

Such an approach may be a suitable method for integrating the diverse data sets currently being proposed to be collected as part of a large-scale science program to explore mining exploration (and subsequent impacts) in the Great Australian Bight (GAB).

The collaboration will benefit from the complementary nature of the research groups from the highly data rich region of the North Atlantic to the relatively data poor environment of the GAB. The collaboration will facilitate discussion around the concept and potential for its application in an Australian context.

Objectives

1. Construct a blueprint of a three dimensional data assimilated Multiverse that describes the ocean physics and the living organisms that can be used to answer key questions on fish distribution, climate change and fisheries monitoring/management.
