Hatchery feeds workshop

There is already considerable Australian research commitment to the production of hatchery feeds and to the development of new feeds. Many research insitutions have a proven track record in development of production technology, but with the expansion of aquaculture in Australia there is a clearly defined need to improve coordination between the research organisations in the area of fish larvae feeds, and to identify opportunities and priorities for future research.
In October 99 McKinnon acted on advice from QFIRAC and FRDC, and canvassed support for a live feeds workshop. All respondents indicated support, but indicated that such a workshop should encompass all aspects of hatchery feeds research. We propose that the workshop will focus on hatchery feeds for finfish, and will aim to summarise the current status of research within Australia, identify gaps in research effort, and prioritise research needed.
1. To assess the status of hatchery feeds including live and compounded feeds and identify research in progress
2. To assess priorities for research and development needs in the area of hatchery feeds
3. To identify constraints to the continued develoment of Australian aquaculture in the area of hatchery feeds.
4. To identify opportunities to enhance collaboration and information exchange amongst researchers and industry.
5. To develop an R&D plan for hatchery feeds.

With the expansion of aquaculture in Australia there is a need to improve coordination between and within both the R&D and industry sectors with regard to the study of hatchery feeds, and to identify opportunities and priorities for future research. The recent world shortage of the brine shrimp Artemia has precipitated a crisis situation in aquaculture hatcheries. Accordingly, in late 1999 FRDC commissioned a Hatchery Feeds R&D Plan, which was developed at a workshop held in Cairns, Queensland, on 9–10 March 2000.
The aquaculture community was widely polled to establish industry priorities for future research. A questionnaire was sent to all stakeholders, together with an invitation to attend the workshop, which was held in Cairns on 9-10 March 2000. Researchers were invited to present the results of work in progress, and industry needs were canvassed in open forums.
For convenience, the subject was divided into 5 main areas of research: microalgae, rotifers, brine shrimp, copepods and formulated diets. Status reviews were commissioned in each of these areas, and priorities in each defined in the workshop. In all areas, the need to benchmark best practice and to more efficiently transfer research results to industry were highlighted.
Keywords: Aquaculture, hatchery, hatchery feeds, rotifer, Artemia, copepod, diet.

Review and synthesis of Australian fisheries habitat research
Project number:
1995-055
Project Status:
Completed
Budget expenditure:
$88,781.00
Principal Investigator:

Organisation:
Australian Institute Of Marine Science (AIMS)
1. To review and synthesise the past decade of Australian research relevant to fisheries habitats. The scope of the review will include : identity of "critical" and "limiting" habitat factors for finfish and shellfish
knowledge of processes linking fisheries with habitats
natural variation in these processes and habitats
and knowledge of major threats to these habitats. The synthesis will aim to document both the existence, and absence, of knowledge of specific processes and patterns of generic application to Australian fisheries and habitats.
2. To use this synthesis to evaluate the suitability, rank and coverage of the six areas of research priority identified in the Cronulla Workshop (Williams and Newton, 1994). These were, in order of priority, 1. Natural Dynamics, 2. Modification of nearshore, estuarine and wetland habitats, 3. Effects of fishing, 4. Change in drainage, 5. Introduction of marine pests, 6. Nutrient inputs.
3. To summarise the results of searches for past and ongoing fisheries habitat research in an annotated bibliography with a spatial reference (lat. / long.) for each study identified. This will be in the form of an ASCII file on computer diskette.

This project was commissioned by FRDC. The task was to review and synthesise the available knowledge on Australian fisheries habitat research and on this basis:
- describe and evaluate the suitability and coverage of the areas of research priority identified at a scientific workshop convened by the FRDC in March 1994, and
- prepare a prospectus of opportunities for the FRDC Ecosystem Protection Program.
The priority issues and impacts reviewed were:
- natural dynamics in fisheries habitats and environmental variability
- changes to drainage and habitat alteration
- nutrient and contaminant inputs
- effects of harvesting on ecosystems and biodiversity
- introduced and translocated pests and diseases.
To obtain this information we conducted a formal literature search and interviews with informants from key organisations in all States and Territories in 1995-96.
The results have been prepared as a detailed scoping review (Volume 2) describing the issues, knowledge gaps and impacts, and proposing more than 60 R&D opportunities. These R&D themes, issues have been summarised as a prospectus here in Volume 1. Sources of citations are provided in Volume 3, and the full bibliography will be linked (HTML) with the scoping review for access on the Internet.
Marketing research priorities for fishery ecosystem protection

Project 95/055 has been completed and there is now a need to ensure that the results are widely dissemenated to fisheries management agencies, key fisheries organisations, researchers, Commonwealth and State funding bodies and Commonwealth and State Environment Protection Agencies. In addition to ensuring that these organisations receive outputs from the project, it is equally important to attempt to get them to agree to the R&D plan and for its national adoption.
1. To extend the results of 95/055 "Review and synthesis of Australian fisheries habitat research".

The publication A Review and Synthesis of Australian Fisheries Habitat Research, by Mike Cappo, resulted from a three-year review of fisheries habitat research. The report identified the stressors and responses that characterise fisheries habitats.
The FRDC requested AIMS to design a marketing strategy to optimise the results of the research and gain wide adoption and endorsement of the review.
The market target was all who have, or can have, an impact on the fisheries habitat: federal and state departments, agencies, industry organisations, Environment Australia, the National Heritage Commission, state environment agencies, research agencies, the Queensland Department of Primary Industries, PISA, CSIRO, South Australia RDI, New South Wales FRI, New South Wales Fisheries, Northern Territories Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries, TAFI, Western Australia Fisheries, universities, the Australian Institute of Marine Science, Cooperative Research Councils, Queensland CFO, WAFIC, TFIC, SAFIC, NTFIC, VFIF, AFMA, QFMA, and other Research and Development Corporations.
Mike Cappo and AIMS Communications brainstormed strategies for marketing the review, and put a proposal to the FRDC which was accepted.
The marketing strategy consisted of a booklet, Research Priorities for Fisheries Ecosystems Protection, a poster, a CD-ROM, and web publication of the review, launched by the Hon. Mark Vaile, Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry on 4 November 1998 in Canberra.
