Need

Abalone Viral Ganglioneuritis (AVG) was first observed causing catastrophic mortality of abalone in western Victoria during May 2006, and continued to spread. As a consequence, there was a large reduction in Total Allowable Catch with consequent reductions in GVP of the Industry and its profitability. Further, the AVG-related mortality led to great uncertainty about the status of the abalone populations (e.g. depletion) and its productive ability (e.g. catch). Populations affected by AVG were closed to fishing for 3-5 years, and have gradually been re-opened through a process involving fishery-independent abundance surveys, biomass estimates and structured fishing to deliver information about stocks. Combined with routine monitoring, a substantial amount of data has now been collected about the on-going recovery of abalone stocks to inform their management.

Prior to AVG, WADA developed a process for finer scale assessment and management advice for the fishery. Workshops with significant Industry input and consideration of fine scale stock assessment are now used in most state's abalone fishery. With the reestablishment of fishing in western Victoria, and greater information about the productive capacity of the stock, there is now a strong need to consolidate the data available and develop their interpretation as performance indicators for the fishery. An important component of this will include the use of the performance indicators in developing flexible decision criteria and investigating scenarios of recovery for the fishery from a population model, updating earlier scenarios generated prior to the resumption of fishing. The Victorian Central Zone fishery has also been impacted by AVG, and will also benefit from greater coordination of the data available from multiple sources and its interpretation as fishery performance indicators with flexible decision criteria, as part of their TAC setting process

Objectives

1. Facilitate a workshop to consolidate existing data, review analysis, interpretation and use as performance indicators in the TAC setting process, including development of a future monitoring plan.
2. Implement the short-term outcomes of the workshop, particularly related to development of the performance indicators, their use in updating population model scenarios of recovery, and combination in the TAC Setting process.

Need

Although some 4,000 tonnes per annum of mixed seafood – predominately scale fish – is landed by the fleet LEFCOL provides services to, the volume of this catch which is directly purchased, converted and marketed by LEFCOl is less than 150tonnes pa.

The majority of the catch is traded via traditional trading channels, being Melbourne and Sydney based commission agents and buyers. In what could be described as a ‘supply push’ channel strategy,the fish is caught and sent to market with no definitive knowledge of what the returns will be. This opportunistic, short term and disjointed approach has limited the opportunity for a structured yield improvement for the catchers and stifled growth for LEFCOL and the region.

There is a real possibility to build a vibrant post-harvest value adding operation at LEFCOL, particularly given its strategic location, its membership, the size, likely/potential quality and consistency of the harvest and the existing facility.

The development needed at LEFCOL will only be achieved by improving the capacity and capability of the people who deliver the services.

Having a structured approach to building the capacity of the workforce will therefore positively impact and improve the services delivered
The extra facilities and professional workforce created will offer many openings – some may not be seafood related as by creating a regional processing hub to this order may well support other ideas and interests.

From a Workforce development structure there would need to be an increase in staffing. Currently, there is no suitably skilled seafood processing resources available in Lakes Entrance to develop a pilot programme.

The intention is that this proposed activity would be a proof of concept to 'unlock' Victorian Government funds to take this pilot to a commercialisation phase.

Objectives

1. Assessment of the commercial and culinary capabilities of various seafood species including by-product
2. Development of suitable product specifications and grades per the above assessment and market opportunity knowledge
3. Development of suitable post harvest handling protocols and packaging requirements to meet the designed specifications
4. Development of cost/price metrics by product, form, pack and market
5. Development of suitable channels to market by product type
6. Development of suitable logistics solutions per market channel and product type
7. Development of quality assurance and process control protocols by product

Tactical Research Fund: development and validation of effective and affordable oyster production systems in the face of POMS disease of Pacific Oysters and QX disease of Sydney Rock Oysters - evaluation from a production, research and economic perspective

Need

After QX impacted oyster production in 2004, Broken Bay Oyster Association (BBOA) and encouraged by Government at all levels invested in new growing techniques with triploid pacific oysters. NSW DPI forecast 466 bags production by 09/10. by 10/11, BBOA produced 4569 bags - 10 times forecast and was the leading employer in the community and had resulted in an environmental cleanup of 8000 tonnes of rubbish removed. BBOA is today recognised and acknowledged nationally and internationally as an iconic example of a phoenix industry – emerging from the ashes of disaster. Members became active internationally to understand the disease and possible ways of managing oyster farming in the face of this new threats and invested (in-kind and $$) in world leading research to develop management plans around disease.

Despite significant pro-active undertakings by BBOA & government, on 22/01/2013, POMS was confirmed in a major juvenile growing area in the HR. By 8/02/2013, POMS has been identified throughout the Hawkesbury, Patonga and Brisbane Waters estuaries. Oyster losses are extreme (99% death of juvenile oysters) and still unfolding. The disease speed of infection and level of devastation was unprecedented. Oyster businesses got minimal notice to handle or sell stock before it became un-saleable.

To move forward, BBOA recognises the need to work with stakeholders (researchers, administrators and other river citizens) to identify possible survival mechanisms for the oyster industry in the Hawkesbury. IMPORTANTLY, the combination of QX and POMS offers a unique opportunity for production solutions to be identified, analysed and costed as a planning tool for other as yet unaffected oyster production areas around Australia. The devastating speed of the disease has resulted in the total removal of cash flow from BBOA and limited their opportunity to respond with alternate production methods.

Objectives

1. Review current production and culture methods and possible alternatives as they relate to mitigating POMS.
2. Determine feasibility of alternative options through benefit cost analysis.
3. Review current administrative and regulatory barriers to change and methods to overcome them.

Summary

While the Australian salmon and shellfish aquaculture industries have international counterparts, there are specific local issues, notably warmer water temperatures and amoebic gill disease (AGD) requiring specific, local research attention. Given the maturity of the industry, the presence of both a university (the University of Tasmania) and the national research organisation (CSIRO) in Hobart, Tasmania is well-placed to develop an Experimental Aquaculture Facility (EAF) of international standing.

For several years there has been discussion regarding establishing an EAF in Hobart, Tasmania. It was envisaged that this would involve collaborative research amongst producers, researchers, regulators, feed suppliers and research and development corporations, amongst others.

Need

Since the HSP was introduced in 2007 there has been a great deal published both nationally and internationally concerning the development and application of harvest strategies. This work needs to be reviewed for new technical content, especially with respect to new and developing methodologies for stock assessments and risk evaluation, and how the new work relates to issues that have been identified in the current HSP. For example, a 10 July 2012 letter from DAFF to FRDC identified issues arising from the review of the harvest strategy policy as a key research priority.

The HSP is generally regarded as successful. However, the review has identified aspects of the policy, the guidelines, and its implementation, that might be improved to better meet the policy’s objectives. Areas of improvement include consideration of appropriate limit reference points based on trophic role or the biological characteristics of different groups of species (e.g. teleosts vs. chondrichthyans), incorporation of spatial management, approaches to setting total allowable catches (TACs) in multispecies fisheries, data-poor stocks (including byproduct), rebuilding strategies and indicators of economic performance. This project will review the latest publications relevant to those priority areas along with research work in progress so as to provide the HSP advisory committee with technical advice on potential improvements to these aspects of the existing policy. Evaluation of current research and developing technologies will provide a basis for a revised policy to incorporate greater flexibility in responding to shifts in stocks and ecosystems from environmental drivers, such as climate change. This work will ultimately contribute to continued improvements in the economic performance and sustainability of Commonwealth fisheries and will have relevance to shared fisheries, fisheries in other jurisdictions, and internationally.

Objectives

1. A detailed review of the extent and effectiveness of implementation of the Commonwealth Fisheries Harvest Strategy Policy and harvest strategies across Commonwealth fisheries, including the identification of potential performance measures
2. A technical overview paper for consideration by stakeholders and Australian Government agencies as part of the review of the Commonwealth Fisheries Harvest Strategy Policy and Guidelines.

Objectives

1. Provide a technical review of recent research on fisheries harvest strategies (both in Australia and overseas) so as to identify information, methods or strategies that may help to address key issues identified by the review of the Commonwealth Fisheries Harvest Strategy Policy.
2. Identify further research required to update the harvest strategies used for Australian fisheries.
3. Provide technical advice on how the harvest strategy policy (including the Guidelines) might be revised in the light of the review conducted in this project and, where relevant, suggest associated technical refinements of the Policy’s wording.
4. Identify alternative indicators of economic performance

Tactical Research Fund: Assessment of heavy metals in tropical rock oysters (blacklip and milky) and implications for placement into the Australian seafood market and for Indigenous enterprise development in the NT.

Project number: 2012-223

Need

The aim of the project is to manage an unforeseen event that has arisen in the early staged of facilitating Indigenous tropical edible oyster enterprises in the NT (both wild harvest and farmed). Samples taken in December 2011 from two sites had high levels of some heavy metals in the flesh. Specifically, levels of cadmium and arsenic were above the Food Standards Code MRL’s. The implications of these results for Indigenous organisations planning to sell tropical oysters into Australian markets are unknown. An additional small, but more extensive, sampling program is needed to assess the extent (spatially and temporally) to which heavy metals peck above MRL's in NT tropical oysters.

The project's Industry partner, Mr Ziko Ilac of Darwin Fish Markets, sees this as a high priority issue. He is currently liaising with top-end Darwin restaurants to develop a niche market in Indigenous-produced, fair-trade seafood. His intention is to develop a niche market for small volumes of shellfish and fish, flown in weekly from remote communities when seasonally available. Restaurateurs see great potential in developing an 'NT seafood cuisine experience' for national and international visitors to Darwin using an 'Indigenous produced, fair-trade' marketing strategy.

Professor Karen Gibb, Leader Environmental Analytical Chemistry Unit (EACU), Charles Darwin University has advised that their own data and those of Peerzada et al. (1993) (Env. Monitoring & Assessment 28: 101-107) also showed elevated cadmium and arsenic in oysters collected along the northern coastline. However not all sites were elevated and Peerzada et al. implicated phytoplankton as a source of elevated metals. Before we can make informed decisions about the future of this very promising enterprise we critically need to gain an accurate measure of metals in replicated samples over two seasons and determine if there is an association with metal levels in water and/or phytoplankton.

Objectives

1. Conduct a sampling survey of the spatial and temporal variability of heavy metals in tropical oysters (blacklip and milky) in the West Arnhem region
2. Assess the implications of results on the development strategy of the oyster enterprise and the sale of tropical oysters into the Australian seafood market
3. Employ Indigenous partners to conduct the shellfish monitoring outlined in this project to develop Indigenous capacity in fisheries sciences and an additional employment steam for Indigenous people

Summary

This small, but extensive, sampling survey was conducted on South Goulburn Island, located off West Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory (NT) to assess the occurrence of heavy metals (both spatially and temporally) in tropical blacklip (Saccostrea mytiloides) and milky (Saccostrea mordax) oysters. Heavy metals tested where those identified by the Australian Shellfish Quality Assurance Program

Results were used to determine whether heavy metal levels exceeded the Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs - or MLs as the more commonly used terminology) set by Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) within the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (ANZFSC). The range of metals tested were chosen based on previous national residue surveys in seafood across the NT (and our preliminary screening of the study site) that indicated likely contaminants. For example, in this study mercury was not tested as the preliminary screening test done on South Goulburn Island indicated mercury to be low (0.005-0.007 mg/kg; ML 0.5mg/kg) and previous extensive heavy metal testing done by various national surveys along the NT coastline over the last few decades reported consistently low levels of mercury in various seafood products.

This sampling survey was initiated in response to an unforeseen event that arose in the early development phase of the Indigenous oyster enterprise program of the NT Government’s Aquaculture Unit. In December 2011 opportunistic samples of oyster flesh taken at two sites on Goulburn Island showed high levels of cadmium and arsenic, both at levels above the MLs for these elements. The implication of these results for Indigenous organisations planning to sell tropical oysters into Australian seafood markets was unknown at the time.

A more extensive assessment of the occurrence of heavy metals in potential growout areas was needed to assess the risk to human health and identify possible management strategies to ensure oyster product met the food safety standards set by the FSANZ. To assess the risk to human health from heavy metals in tropical oysters the following objectives were addressed:

1 Conduct a sampling survey of the spatial and temporal variability of heavy metals in tropical oysters (blacklip and milky) in the West Arnhem region.
2 Assess the implications of results on the development strategy of the oyster enterprise and the sale of tropical oysters into the Australian seafood market.
3 Employ Indigenous partners to conduct the shellfish monitoring outlined in this project to develop Indigenous capacity in fisheries sciences and an additional employment steam for Indigenous people.

The Aquaculture Unit of the Department of Primary Industry and Fisheries, the Goulburn Island Indigenous Aquaculture Team and Charles Darwin University (CDU) researchers collaborated to measure trace elements (metals) in blacklip and milky oysters collected from four sites around South Goulburn Island. Sampling (of oysters and seawater) was conducted during the dry season in September 2012, the wet season in February 2013, and again during the dry in September 2013. Samples were collected from the shore within a 24-hour period during extreme low daytime tides, flown to CDU’s Environmental Chemistry and Microbiology Unit (ECMU), where they were analysed for heavy metal content. A suite of heavy metals were analysed but of prime interest were arsenic (As) (note - FSANZ considers arsenic as a metal for the purposes of the Food Standards Code), cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) as MLs are set by FSANZ for these elements only. Oyster product must conform with MLs set for these metals to allow placement of product in the Australian seafood market.

The results
Ideally, oyster sampling would target market sized animals within a narrow size range (10-15 cm length), as the heavy metal content of these aniamls would be assumed to reflect heavy metal contect of harvestable animals from commercial operations. However this was not possible as the oyster sampling program conducted in this study was done on a remote island, at remote sites across the breadth of the island that were accessably only during dry weather conditions, and during a small window of opportunity when oyster beds were exposed during extreme low tides. As a result, the data is compromised due to the small sample size for some sampling sites and times. Every effort was made to meet the targeted sample size and number, but final oyster samples were limited to those that were available.. An initial collection trip failed to collect sufficient samples at most sites and so was not included in the dataset. Farmed blacklip oysters were deployed during the project to increase sample availability. Subsequent collections were sometimes done at night-time low tides to ensure all sites were sampled. It must be noted that accumulation of heavy metals may differ between oyster age classes (and size), most likely due to different exposure times. Thus the smaller size range of oysters collected in this study may be an underrepresenation of heavy metal content of marketable oysters.

Our analysis of trace elements in milky and blacklip oysters in the West Arnhem region showed that the heavy metal content of oysters differed between sites and sampling times and that the two species accumulated heavy metals differently. Farmed blacklip oysters showed different heavy metal accumulations than wild caught blacklips at some sites.

Wild harvest blacklip oysters accumulated Cd levels that exceeded the food safety standards at all sites and on each of the three sampling events (two during the wet season and one during the dry) over the 12-month survey period.
Farmed blacklip deployed for up to 12 months repeatedly exceeded Cd at only one site (site 2) for the three sampling event. There were no other exceedences of Cd by farmed blacklip at any other sites or sampling events.
Wild harvest milky oysters also exceeded Cd levels at site 2 for each of the three sampling events. They also exceeded Cd at one site (site 1b) on the first sampling event.
We also tested total arsenic in the two oyster species. Levels of total As recorded in this study suggests that the inorganic component to which the guidelines relate are not likely to have been exceeded. Further As speciation analysis would be needed to confirm this.
The lead content of oysters was below MLs for all sites and at all sampling events.

Thus the smaller size range of oysters collected in this study may be an underrepresenation of heavy metal content of marketable oysters.

Our analysis of trace elements in milky and blacklip oysters in the West Arnhem region showed that the heavy metal content of oysters differed between sites and sampling times and that the two species accumulated heavy metals differently. Farmed blacklip oysters showed different heavy metal accumulations than wild caught blacklips at some sites.

Wild harvest blacklip oysters accumulated Cd levels that exceeded the food safety standards at all sites and on each of the three sampling events (two during the wet season and one during the dry) over the 12-month survey period.
Farmed blacklip deployed for up to 12 months repeatedly exceeded Cd at only one site (site 2) for the three sampling event. There were no other exceedences of Cd by farmed blacklip at any other sites or sampling events.
Wild harvest milky oysters also exceeded Cd levels at site 2 for each of the three sampling events. They also exceeded Cd at one site (site 1b) on the first sampling event.
We also tested total arsenic in the two oyster species. Levels of total As recorded in this study suggests that the inorganic component to which the guidelines relate are not likely to have been exceeded. Further As speciation analysis would be needed to confirm this.
The lead content of oysters was below MLs for all sites and at all sampling events.

Summary

This small, but extensive, sampling survey was conducted on South Goulburn Island, located off West Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory (NT) to assess the occurrence of heavy metals (both spatially and temporally) in tropical blacklip (Saccostrea mytiloides) and milky (Saccostrea mordax) oysters. Heavy metals tested where those identified by the Australian Shellfish Quality Assurance Program

Results were used to determine whether heavy metal levels exceeded the Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs - or MLs as the more commonly used terminology) set by Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) within the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (ANZFSC). The range of metals tested were chosen based on previous national residue surveys in seafood across the NT (and our preliminary screening of the study site) that indicated likely contaminants. For example, in this study mercury was not tested as the preliminary screening test done on South Goulburn Island indicated mercury to be low (0.005-0.007 mg/kg; ML 0.5mg/kg) and previous extensive heavy metal testing done by various national surveys along the NT coastline over the last few decades reported consistently low levels of mercury in various seafood products.

This sampling survey was initiated in response to an unforeseen event that arose in the early development phase of the Indigenous oyster enterprise program of the NT Government’s Aquaculture Unit. In December 2011 opportunistic samples of oyster flesh taken at two sites on Goulburn Island showed high levels of cadmium and arsenic, both at levels above the MLs for these elements. The implication of these results for Indigenous organisations planning to sell tropical oysters into Australian seafood markets was unknown at the time.

A more extensive assessment of the occurrence of heavy metals in potential growout areas was needed to assess the risk to human health and identify possible management strategies to ensure oyster product met the food safety standards set by the FSANZ. To assess the risk to human health from heavy metals in tropical oysters the following objectives were addressed:

1 Conduct a sampling survey of the spatial and temporal variability of heavy metals in tropical oysters (blacklip and milky) in the West Arnhem region.
2 Assess the implications of results on the development strategy of the oyster enterprise and the sale of tropical oysters into the Australian seafood market.
3 Employ Indigenous partners to conduct the shellfish monitoring outlined in this project to develop Indigenous capacity in fisheries sciences and an additional employment steam for Indigenous people.

The Aquaculture Unit of the Department of Primary Industry and Fisheries, the Goulburn Island Indigenous Aquaculture Team and Charles Darwin University (CDU) researchers collaborated to measure trace elements (metals) in blacklip and milky oysters collected from four sites around South Goulburn Island. Sampling (of oysters and seawater) was conducted during the dry season in September 2012, the wet season in February 2013, and again during the dry in September 2013. Samples were collected from the shore within a 24-hour period during extreme low daytime tides, flown to CDU’s Environmental Chemistry and Microbiology Unit (ECMU), where they were analysed for heavy metal content. A suite of heavy metals were analysed but of prime interest were arsenic (As) (note - FSANZ considers arsenic as a metal for the purposes of the Food Standards Code), cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) as MLs are set by FSANZ for these elements only. Oyster product must conform with MLs set for these metals to allow placement of product in the Australian seafood market.

The results
Ideally, oyster sampling would target market sized animals within a narrow size range (10-15 cm length), as the heavy metal content of these aniamls would be assumed to reflect heavy metal contect of harvestable animals from commercial operations. However this was not possible as the oyster sampling program conducted in this study was done on a remote island, at remote sites across the breadth of the island that were accessably only during dry weather conditions, and during a small window of opportunity when oyster beds were exposed during extreme low tides. As a result, the data is compromised due to the small sample size for some sampling sites and times. Every effort was made to meet the targeted sample size and number, but final oyster samples were limited to those that were available.. An initial collection trip failed to collect sufficient samples at most sites and so was not included in the dataset. Farmed blacklip oysters were deployed during the project to increase sample availability. Subsequent collections were sometimes done at night-time low tides to ensure all sites were sampled. It must be noted that accumulation of heavy metals may differ between oyster age classes (and size), most likely due to different exposure times.

Need

Ocean Grown Abalone Pty Ltd is at the point of commercialising abalone ranching at the company’s aquaculture lease site in Augusta, Western Australia. An important part of the commercialisation process is a commercial trial, currently underway, to determine:
- optimal type of habitat structure
- optimal size at release
- optimal density
- location (3 experimental sites within Flinders Bay at different depth & habitat profiles)
- compare & assess mortality % as related to above variables.
- compare & assess growth rates as related to the above variables.

The project is needed so that data collected during the duration of the survey can be analysed and collated in report suitable for peer review. The Company considers the peer review process as being a key step in upholding scientific rigor of the company's internal research activities. Third party validation (by CURTIN UNIVERSITY) of the company's data will assist in satisfying investor confidence in the way we are approaching our activities.

This project may revolutionise greenlip abalone aquaculture in Australia - there are no power costs, no feed costs, product quality is the same as 'wild-caught', capital costs are significantly lower and has comparitively lower operational costs compared with traditional land-based abalone aquaculture.

Objectives

1. To have sampling methods used in the enhancement trial independently validated
2. For data collected by the trial to be analysed and presented in a report suitable for peer review

Need

Historically, funding for indigenous research generally has been limited hence not enough is known about indigenous use of aquatic biological resources (fish etc). For example the lack of knowledge about cultural fishing and how to engage indigenous fishers is one of the reasons that the ESD project (Fletcher et al 2002) was unable to come up with any significant contributions on the how to measure impacts of non-indigenous fishing sector on indigenous fishing other than 'a different approach was needed to involve indigenous stakeholders (see below for further details)' page 43 of (Fletcher, W.J., Chesson, J., Fisher M., Sainsbury, K.J., Hundloe, T., Smith, A.D.M. and B. Whitworth (2002) National ESD Reporting Framework for Australian Fisheries: The 'How To' Guide for Wild Capture Fisheries. FRDC Project 2000/145, Canberra, Australia.) All governments need to do more to encourage indigenous research, recognising the associated complexities in conducting this research and therefore the associated added costs.

In relation to the project proposed in this application, there are two interrelated elements both of which expand on the recent FRDC project 2009/308. Participants expressed the need for an extension of that project to investigate governance issues through the development of a LICFMP for their area. Such a plan is needed to provide a basis for better engagement with NSW DPI and it's development will serve as a possible model for the development of other throughout NSW.

The second element of the proposed project is an expansion of the research on the indigenous cultural catch to take other areas of NSW. This work is needed to assist in the further development of culturally appropriate regulations by NSW DPI in consultation with the NSW AFAC and NSWALC.

Objectives

1. Use methodology developed in project 2009/038 to estimate indigenous cultural catch in coastal and inland waters of N.S.W.
2. Develop a local indigenous fisheries management plan for the Tweed region.
3. Identify other Aboriginal communities that would be willing to develop local fisheries management plan.

Summary

This FRDC funded project, Project No 2012/216, sought to build on an earlier pilot study, Project No. 2009/308 , undertaken in 2010 which examined the nature and dimensions of Aboriginal cultural fishing in the Tweed region of far northern New South Wales . Project No 2012/216 had two elements, the first one sought to adapt the methodology used in the Tweed study to collect data on catch for application in other regions of NSW. The second element sought to build on what had been achieved in the pilot project by facilitating the development of a local Aboriginal fisheries management strategy/plan for the Tweed Aboriginal community. Support for both elements of the project was obtained from the NSW Aboriginal Fishing Advisory Council (AFAC), the NSW Department of Primary Industries, Fisheries (DPI), the NSW Aboriginal Land Council (NSWALC) and the Indigenous Reference Group to the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (IRG) and the Tweed Aboriginal community. Application for funding from FRDC was successful and the project commenced in July 2012.

The second element sought to build on what had been achieved in the pilot project by facilitating the development of a local Aboriginal fisheries management strategy/plan for the Tweed Aboriginal community. Support for both elements of the project was obtained from the NSW Aboriginal Fishing Advisory Council (AFAC), the NSW Department of Primary Industries, Fisheries (DPI), the NSW Aboriginal Land Council (NSWALC) and the Indigenous Reference Group to the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (IRG) and the Tweed Aboriginal community. Application for funding from FRDC was successful and the project commenced in July 2012.
