Risk analysis to identify and minimise biosecurity risks arising from recycling bivalve mollusc shell waste during shellfish reef restoration projects in Australia

The assessment indicated that heating recycled mollusc shells in water to 80°C for at least 5 minutes would meet the ALOP for all diseases (despite uncertainly for some disease agents due to lack of information, as indicated by ?), and was within the ALOP for all pests of concern. This method...

Field observations and assessment of the response to an outbreak of White Spot Disease (WSD) in Black Tiger Prawns (Penaeus monodon) farmed on the Logan River in November 2016

This report provides independent documentation and analysis of events related to a White Spot Disease (WSD) outbreak in Black Tiger Prawns (Penaeus monodon) cultured on the Logan River from late November 2016 until February 2017. Disease was first observed on the index farm (1IP) on 22nd...

Need

Expressions of interest were sought by DAWR.
The Department of Agriculture and Water Resources (the Department) is seeking expressions of interest for the development of a mobile application for the ‘Aquatic Animal Diseases Significant to Australia: Identification Field Guide’ (Department of Agriculture 2012).
The Aquatic animal diseases significant to Australia: Identification field guide (the Field Guide) is a key resource for raising awareness of important aquatic animal diseases and encouraging reporting of disease incidents to responsible authorities. The field guide provides guidance for commercial fishers, aquaculture workers, recreational fishers, biosecurity staff and scientists on how to recognise and report significant aquatic animal diseases.
The Department is seeking expressions for suitably qualified parties to make the field guide available as a mobile application (Android, Windows and iOS platforms). The application for mobile devices aims to increase accessibility of the field guide for field use and to incorporate user-friendly mechanisms for reporting of suspected aquatic animal disease events.

Objectives

1. To develop a mobile application for the 'Aquatic animal diseases significant to Australia: Identification field guide.

Aquatic Animal Health Subprogram: risk analysis - aquatic animal diseases associated with domestic bait translocation

Need

Translocation of aquatic animals or products of aquatic animal origin is frequently identified as a key event that precedes major outbreaks of disease caused by pathogens that were previously unknown in that region or species (Stewart 1991, Durand et al. 2000). Introduced diseases in wild fisheries usually cannot be eradicated, and can have significant ongoing economic and ecological implications. A pathogen risk analysis is required to identify not only the types and quantities of bait being used in Australia, but also whether their translocation and use represents a significant threat to aquatic animal health at regional and national levels. The strategic benefits of the proposed project therefore will be to identify potential disease risks associated with domestic bait translocation, and rank the disease risks in order to provide information essential for policy development at a future date.

Objectives

1. To identify disease hazards from domestic translocation of bait in Australia, by expanding on the NAAH-TWG paper (OOS 24-06 ) on identification of hazards of bait and berley use.
2. To undertake a risk analysis to determine disease risks associated with the disease hazards identified in objective 1
