The major outcomes of this project are:

(1) as a result of the Training Course, each State/Territory now has one or two specialists who have recently been updated on the exotic diseases of the aquaculture industries in Australia (i.e., diseases on the National List of Reportable Diseases of Aquatic Animals). Their improved knowledge and awareness, and their capacity to improve the knowledge and awareness of many of their colleagues, will encourage greater confidence in the ability of regional aquaculture health specialists to recognize, and manage, incursions of exotic diseases. This, in turn, will assist Australian aquaculture industries to maintain their enviable status with respect to freedom from the major aquatic animal diseases of the world

(2) there is now a well-organized resource available for future training of aquaculture health specialists in those diseases that are of prime importance to the aquaculture industries of Australia, i.e., the diseases on the National List of Reportable Diseases of Aquatic Animals.

A copy of the training course can be obtained from FRDC on request.

Following some initial research in 2001, it was found that the aquaculture industry lacked relevant training in emergency management procedures for aquatic animal health. There was a dangerous perception that all animal health matters were the preserve of external specialists and a few biologists within the industry. There was a singular lack of both knowledge and responsibility for aquatic animal health and in most cases not even basic procedures for managing a health emergency. This resulted in the development of a project to provide training to the industry on what to do, who to contact, what steps were required to deal with the emergency and how to contain it. The concept of a short workshop program to provide basic knowledge and some practical tools was seen as an important precursor to a larger industry planning process for aquatic animal health emergencies.
