Need

This project is needed to assess the potential for increasing catches of sardine in the fisheries off SA (i.e. SASF) and the East Coast (i.e. NSW Ocean Haul Fishery and SPF).

For the SASF, information on the patterns and rates of movement of sardines between the Great Australian Bight (where the majority of the spawning biomass is located) and southern Spencer Gulf (where most fishing is conducted) is needed to determine whether (or not) future potential increases in the TAC should be accompanied by the establishment of zones within the fishery.

For the NSW Ocean Haul Fishery and SPF, information on the patterns and rates of movement of sardines along the East Coast is needed to assess the extent to which estimates of spawning biomass from northern NSW and southern Qld waters reflect the size of the entire sardine stock off eastern Australia.

Objectives

1. To collate data held for jurisdictions to generate hypotheses regarding movement patterns and stock structure of Australian sardine throughout southern Australia.
2. To evaluate the use of otolith shape analyses for testing hypotheses regarding the movement patterns of sardine in southern Australia.
3. To evaluate the use of transect-based otolith microchemistry techniques (laser ablation ICPMS) for examining the movement patterns of sardine between gulf and shelf waters of SA and along east coast of Australia.
4. To collate findings to determine: a) whether or not additional spatial management (zones) would be needed to support a future increase in the TAC in the SA Sardine Fishery
and b) the degree to which estimates of spawning biomass from waters off northern NSW and southern Qld reflect the size of the entire eastern Australian sardine stock.

Albacore

Need

In 2005, the Ministerial Directive to AFMA included the requirement to develop harvest strategies for all Commonwealth fisheries. To determine target reference points for albacore in the ETBF consistent with the Harvest Strategy Policy, data are required on several biological parameters such as size/age-at-maturity, growth rates, fecundity and mortality (Campbell et al., 2007). Furthermore, to estimate spawner-per-recruit reference points which are used as proxies for MSY-based reference points, the agreed harvest strategy for the ETBF specifically requires estimates of size-at-maturity and mortality. However, the harvest strategy currently uses life-history parameters taken from SPC’s regional stock assessment, which in turn are either uncertain or assumed (Hoyle, 2008). For example, growth parameters are based on less reliable length-frequency and vertebrae ring counts, and the maturity schedule is based on a study of North Pacific albacore from the 1950s. There are no reliable estimates of fecundity or spawning frequency for any albacore stock. Thus, the WCPFC-SC has identified the need to improve our understanding of life-history parameters and stock assessment for albacore as a high priority.

In 2008, the stock assessment model for South Pacific albacore was revised and "the cumulative effect of these changes was to reduce the biomass estimates and raise the fishing mortality estimates compared to previous assessments" (Hoyle et al., 2008). Although there is still significant uncertainty in the model, the assessment provided a more pessimistic view of stock size and MSY (1/3 of the volume) compared to the 2006 assessments. Such a significant change highlights the requirement for accurate assessments of albacore and the ensuing need for revised biological data.

In 2008, the ETMAC called for research to determine biological characters of albacore as a priority project (project-7). The current proposal addresses this need and will maximize the value of complimentary studies being undertaken at SPC.

Objectives

1. Collect biological samples (otoliths, spines, gonads & muscle) from albacore caught in the southwest Pacific in cooperation with AFMA, SPC and MFish using the sub-sampling regime designed in the tactical project.
2. Determine length-weight conversion factors for albacore in the ETBF
3. Depending on successful age validation, determine the age of 2000 albacore and investigate age-related stock parameters including catch-at-age and regional/sexual differentiation in growth
4. Determine reproductive-based stock parameters for South Pacific albacore including sex ratio statistics, maturity schedule(s), spawning fraction and batch fecundity (by size/age) using macroscopic and modern histological techniques
5. Provide key population biological parameters on age, growth, maturity and fecundity to harvest strategy and stock assessment scientists

Need

Implementation of ecosystem-based fishery management requires sound knowledge of food webs if the indirect effects of fishing on trophic structure are to be understood. There is an urgent need to construct a quantitative food web so that we can understand the ways in which the marked declines in the abundances of important fish species off the lower west coast of Australia, which led to the recent closure of the metropolitan commercial fishery, are likely to have impacted on the ecosystem. While there are sound dietary data for most of the more abundant and important species in this region, no such data are available for Snapper (Pagrus auratus) and Silver Trevally (Pseudocaranx dentex). Snapper was a primary target species for commercial fishers, and Snapper and Silver Trevally both continue to be of great importance to recreational fishers. Sound dietary data for these species, which take into account the ways in which their diets change with body size and season, are essential for the construction of a reliable food web. There is a need to combine the new dietary data for these species with those that were collated in the database developed in FRDC 2002/016 and with the results from more recent studies, converting them into common dietary categories, size categories and a common format before they can be used to construct a reliable food web. The opportunity exists, while Ian Potter remains actively involved in research, to apply the experience and knowledge that he and Margaret Platell possess (noting that these two biologists have been involved in collecting much of the available dietary data for the demersal fish species of south-western Australia) to bring together the results of approximately 15 years of research to create a food web for this region that will be invaluable for future research and management.

Objectives

1. To determine the diets of Snapper and Silver Trevally on the lower west coast of Australia and how they change with body size and season
2. To construct a reliable food web derived from quantitative dietary data for a wide range of demersal fish species off the lower west coast of Australia

Need

The Australian barramundi farming sector is a small and growing industry, with the opportunity to sell high quality product at premium prices.

Although many aquaculture ventures across Australia have licences to grow barramundi, the industry comprises only 25 ventures that produce barramundi on sufficient scale to regarded as full time enterprises. These businesses have little or no capacity to coordinate investment in, and manage industry development. There is great difficulty in providing a whole of industry perspective on R&D and hence difficulty in capturing the benefits of scale arising from investment in innovation. Collective action on R&D will help capture the benefits of R&D and will deliver future growth.

The ABFA is now established and well positioned with the CRC to implement its strategic plan and to integrate R&D work across all stakeholders under its leadership. CRC staff have participated in several planning meetings, the proposed projects have been decided.

There is now a need for the ABFA to appoint one of our members to act as a liasion point with the CRC, to ensure barramundi farmers are involved in the R&D and contribute their resources when required. This person will also faciltate effective communication and coordination with all stakeholders, particularly at the start of projects and coomunication of results.

Objectives

1. To coordinate the planning, implementation, and reporting of R&D projects conducted by the Seafood CRC to achieve the outcomes specified in the ABFA Strategic Plan.
2. To facilitate the barramundi farming industry participation in Seafood CRC projects and the extension and utilization of the project results, particularly in relation to the development of new products and new markets
3. To establish, by December 2011, a mechanism by which the ABFA can fund its own R&D coordination and communication activities

The ‘Interpretative Overview of Consumer Seafood Research in Australia’ is a result of the CRC Retail Transformation project. This project indentified the need to review and consolidate the existing research available and assess its usefulness.
Publically available research was gathered from SEA, CRC and FRDC in consultation with various industry professionals. The work was assessed by Market Strategy Ltd, a commercial market development agency.

This research identifies the need for general socio economic information, food trend information, specific seafood trend information and specific seafood performance information. Gaps in Australian research knowledge are identified in all these areas, along with potential sources of information. The current research is found to lack currency, consistency and accuracy. It also lacks trended perspectives and structured recommendations of consumer responses to research results.

Need

The Australian Seafood CRC has agreed that establishment of hubs is needed within the seafood industry to build national capability and capacity for trialling and adopting innovative technology in seafood processing, distribution and sales. This project contributes significantly to that need, offering fora for information transfer and engagement by industry members with experts in the fields of packaging, freezing/chilling, traceability and new product development.

Given increased competition with imports and rising overall production costs, there is a need for industry to address issues relating to processing efficiency, packaging solutions and operation of refrigeration systems and freezers.

The most pressing need indicated by the Australian Seafood CRC participants is for information about new packaging technologies.
