Need

To help shape and secure a competitive, profitable and sustainable future, the fishing industry needs leaders with knowledge, skills and networks. Leaders who will:

1 develop and share a vision for their industry;

2 operate effectively in an international context;

3 establish strategic alliances and build strong links within and across industry sectors;

4 identify the competing demands for industry, Government and community support;

5 understand the values, arguments and tactics of other interest groups;

6 deal confidently with industry, Government and community leaders, in Australia and overseas;

7 identify and analyse the strategic issues affecting the future of the fishing industry; and

8 participate in shaping national policies.

The Australian Rural Leadership program prepares leaders for these roles.

Objectives

1. To support fishing industry participants undertake the Australian Rural Leadership Program.

A health promotion program incorporating fish for withdrawal of antihypertensive drugs in overweight hypertensives

Project number: 2002-242
Project Status:
Completed
Budget expenditure: $103,637.00
Principal Investigator: Lawrence Beilin
Organisation: University of Western Australia (UWA)
Project start/end date: 13 Apr 2002 - 15 Jun 2005

FRDC

Need

The study will demonstrate the extent to which a health promotion program incorporating dietary fish meals, as well as weight control and increased physical activity, compares with usual care alone. The study is designed to reduce blood pressure and drug requirements in the longer term and minimise cardiovascular risk in overweight hypertensive patients. We will use ambulatory blood pressures as criteria for both inclusion and endpoints decisions and will assess quality of life and the cost-benefit in relation to lifestyle changes and overall cardiovascular risk. The results should have important implications for public health given the high prevalence of hypertensive cardiovascular disease.

Objectives

0. To investigate whether, compared with a usual care group, a health promotion program incorporating increased fish consumption and improved dietary habits, as well as weight control and physical activity, will enhance blood pressure control, enabling antihypertensive therapy to be withdrawn for at least a year.
1. To investigate whether, compared with a usual care group, a health promotion program incorporating increased fish consumption and improved dietary habits, as well as weight control and physical activity, will lead to sustained improvements in cardiovascular risk profile in terms of lipids, glucose tolerance and blood platelet and endothelial activation.

Rock Lobster Post Harvest Subprogram: the effect of on-board cold water stunning on the survival and growth of caught and returned western rock lobsters (Panulirus cygnus)

Project number: 2002-239
Project Status:
Completed
Budget expenditure: $110,768.00
Principal Investigator: Glen A. Davidson
Organisation: Geraldton Fishermen's Co-operative Ltd
Project start/end date: 29 Jun 2002 - 15 Apr 2005
Contact:
FRDC

Need

With commercial fishermen already beginning to implement cold-stunning there is a critical need to determine possible impacts of this technique on the returned protected lobsters (viability of eggs carried by ovigerous female lobsters and undersized lobsters). Experiments to determine these impacts are already underway as part of FRDC 2000/251.
The proposed tag and recapture work is planned for the 2002/2003 season and is contingent upon the results of these experiments in FRDC 2000/251. FRDC 2000/251 however, is not due for completion until November 2003, but the relevant results will be available well before the start of the 2002/2003 season. Rather than wait until 2000/251 is completed before applying for funds to undertake the tag and recapture work, we are applying in this (2001) round. If the current application is approved, the tag and recapture work will not proceed without 1) first considering the results of egg viability experiments in FRDC 2000/251 and 2) seeking approval to do so from the RLPHS Steering Committee. Delaying application for funds for the tag and recapture study until completion of 2000/251 (in November 2003) will delay this work by at least 2 years.

Objectives

1. To determine the effect of commercial capture with or without cold-stunning on the survival and growth of returned protected western rock lobsters.
2. To observe and film in the wild the behaviour of western rock lobsters caught and returned with or without cold water stunning.

Summary

The relative recapture rates of returned stunned and unstunned lobsters have been quantified. Apparently conflicting results were obtained from two different areas of the fishery, but the results were deemed inconclusive due to low numbers of recaptures from water surrounding the Southern Group of the Abrolhos Islands.

The behaviours of returned lobsters have been observed underwater. Lobsters spending excessive periods of time in the stun tank at 5-10°C showed delayed recovery following return to the ocean. The findings have prompted a second expanded study to investigate the effect of stun time on lobster recapture rates over a wider geographical area.
