Summary

A large demand for crab meat on both Australian and S.E. Asian markets has provided incentive for the development of a mud crab Scylla serrata farming industry in tropical Australia. Cannibalism of newly-moulted, softshelled crabs however constitutes a major constraint to profitable pond farming.

The main aim of the project was to observe moult-related cannibalism of mud crabs and define causitive factors of this phenomenon and then to develop pond design and management techniques which alleviated this problem.

Summary

The central aims of this project were to identify major practical constraints to the development of a commercially viable barramundi hatchery and farming enterprise in Northern Australia and to demonstrate that hatchery rearing of barramundi constituted a feasible alternative to the importation of exotic species, especially nile perch (Lates niloticus) as a means of improving freshwater angling in Queensland.

In October 1985 'Sea Hatcheries' was incorporated as a public company in preparation for the establishment of a commercial marine hatchery and barramundi farming venture. In the same month the Queensland Government formally announced the suspension of its nile perch project.
