This project is a preliminary investigation into the potential for live shipping of blue swimmer crabs by traditional dry packing methods. The project adopted the findings of the WA project ‘how to stop a blue crab feeling blue’ for the onboard handling procedures then investigated different methods of dry packing the live crabs to determine the best packing method and the survival rate at different times post packing.

All trials were conducted using 36 litre polystyrene cartons, each layer of crabs were separated by a moist 5mm piece of foam. Coolant gels were used to maintain a cool temperature within the polystyrene cartons, these were separated from the crabs by a layer of woodwool and a 6mm C flute corrugated board.

The project developed AFMA’s strategic research plan entitled Researching for Fisheries, Industry and Community:  AFMA’s Strategic Research Plan 2005-2010.

The plan provides guidance to the AFMA Research Committee / Commonwealth Fisheries Research Advisory Body in planning and undertaking research related duties.  The plan sets out the principles for research investment in Commonwealth fisheries.  The current drivers of fisheries research are outlined. AFMA’s four research programs are explained together with the avenues of investment in Commonwealth fisheries.  Key participants in AFMA’s research activities are specified.  The plan clearly articulated a process for identifying research priorities and commissioning research to ensure transparency in procedures, priorities and budgets.

The role of the plan and fishery research plans also is articulated.
