Australian Fisheries and Aquaculture Statistics 2017

The research undertaken in this project (2018/134) produced data on the volume and value of production from Commonwealth, state and Northern Territory fisheries, and the volume and value of Australian fisheries trade, by destination, source and product, covering the years 2006-07 to 2016-17. The...

Storm Bay Observing System: Assessing the Performance of Aquaculture Development

In Tasmania, farming of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L) has developed rapidly since the first trials in 1985 and has grown progressively to the current 60,000 tonnes produced in 2020.. Salmon farming in open sea cages produces organic and inorganic wastes which have the potential to impact the...

Need

Per- and poly-fluoroalklys (PFASs) are now emerging as pollutants with potentially catastrophic impact on aquaculture facilities. Two key research institutes have already demonstrated the presence of PFASs in marine fish broodstock and have observed impacts on offspring that are consistent with those observed in
literature studies. As testing continues there is the expectation that the number of facilities affected will increase. To compound the challenge our understanding of the impacts of PFASs on aquatic species is limited. In order to further assess these impacts, PFASs must be introduced into experimental systems in a
controlled fashion and therefore we must have the capacity to remove those pollutants before release. To protect our facilities and permit PFAS impacts research there is a need to rapidly assess available PFAS treatment technologies.

Objectives

1. confirm the effectiveness of ozofractionation and linseed infused polypropylene in the removal of PFAS from seawater,
2. investigate the impacts of flow rate through fractionation chambers on PFAS removal
3. test fractionation PFA removal efficiency without ozone and with ozone at addition levels compatible with aquaculture practices.*

Summary

Per- and poly-fluoroalkly substances (PFASs) are now emerging as pollutants with potentially catastrophic impact on aquaculture facilities. Two key research institutes, Port Stephens Fisheries Institute (PSFI) in NSW and Australian Centre for Applied Aquaculture Research (ACAAR) in Western Australia have discovered the presence of PFASs in their influent seawater sources and in their broodstock fish. PFASs are proven Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals of fish and can cause reduction in fecundity, and deformity, abnormal development and increased mortality of fish larvae. Both research institutes have observed impacts on larvae that are broadly consistent with those observed for PFASs in literature studies. As testing for PFASs continues we expect that the number of facilities affected in Australia, and indeed globally, may increase. Further, to assess impacts, PFASs must be introduced into experimental systems in a controlled fashion and therefore we must have the capacity to remove those pollutants before release of effluent water. To protect our facilities and permit PFASs impacts research there was a need to assess available treatment technologies for removal of PFASs in seawater.

Sex reversal and sex differentiation in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)

The Tasmanian Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) aquaculture industry strives to produce all-female fish, as male Atlantic Salmon are subject to precocious maturation and consequently reduced flesh quality and increased disease susceptibility when reared in high water temperatures. Several fish species,...
