This project is a priority issue for the FRDC Aquatic Animal Health Subprogram Steering Committee (STC) and Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC).
The range of potential beneficiaries of the database is rather wide and varied. However, a key technical/scientific group is the National Aquatic Animal Health - Technical Working Group (NAAH-TWG). All SAC members are also members of the TWG. Another group – operating at a more strategic level – is the Australian Aquatic Animal Health Committee (AAHC). The Subprogram Leader is a member of AAHC.
1. Gather requirements and analyse and design a system to develop a database that will provide rapid access to information on the viral, bacterial and parasitic diseases of marine and freshwater finfish, shellfish and crustaceans in Australia. Through this system, policy makers, managers, scientists and academics would gain rapid access to what information has to be published on specific disease agents, their hosts and their distribution.
