Australia’s aquatic animal sector is free from many diseases that occur elsewhere in the world, providing us with a competitive advantage in both production and trade. This is one reason why the number of aquatic animal species and the absolute number of aquatic animals farmed in Australia is increasing annually. However, new/emerging infectious diseases continue to threaten the sustainability of significant enterprises and the need for health services to support the aquatic animal sector is growing. Health R&D is required for all segments of the aquatic animal sector (aquaculture, wild-capture, recreational and ornamental) that share the aquatic environment, interacting with and impinging on each other. Thus aquatic animal health services need to be coordinated across these segments to ensure synergy while avoiding duplication.
Aquatic animal health management includes a risk-based approach to disease prevention, as well as reacting to, and mitigating the affects of, existing diseases. Research of this type is often given a low priority as it is not seen as an immediate need. To overcome this deficiency there is a need for a process that takes a national and future view of investment in aquatic animal health. AAHS, through leadership, direction and focus, provides a national approach to aquatic animal health R&D and other related non-R&D activities. Through the Subprogram’s Committee membership, AAHS has linkages to NAAHTWG, AAHC, NAC, DAFF, industry, State Governments and universities. Thus, AAHS provides an industry/government-based structure through which to develop and maintain strategic direction for investment in aquatic animal health. FRDC, through AAHS, plays a major role in addressing research and training needs in the aquatic animal health sector. AAHS is able to direct this support to the most pressing areas. Thus continuation of AAHS on the basis of a shared financial commitment by stakeholders from industry and governments is highly desirable.
1. To administer and co-ordinate the activities of the AAHS
2. To manage a portfolio of R&D projects that are directly concerned with aquatic animal health and are not covered by other FRDC subprograms
3. To facilitate meetings of the AAHS Steering and Scientific Advisory Committees.
4. In consultation with key stakeholders (industry and aquatic animal health specialists) develop strategic directions for aquatic animal health R&D
5. To disseminate information and results through: a) A biennial scientific conference
b) specialist workshops on topics identified through AAHS business c) Health Highlights Newsletter
d) relevant articles in FRDC News FISH and e) the FRDC website

In recent years, demand for high quality seafood world-wide has increased significantly and continues to increase. This demand cannot be met by wild capture fisheries and has led to expansion of the world's aquaculture industries. In Australia, aquaculture is also growing. In the past 5 years the value of Australian aquaculture has doubled to approximately $700 million (ABARE 2001) and is expected to increase to $2.5 billion by 2010 (ACIL Consulting 1999). As the industry expands and intensifies the risk of infectious disease outbreaks also increases and there is a need for an increased level of expertise nation-wide on aquatic animal diseases.
As the range of aquaculture species expands so, too, will the range of diseases. Disease diagnosis and control will become an even higher priority than in the past. There will be a requirement to maintain and improve disease diagnostic capability. Increased diagnostic services will be required in these specialised areas, and training of personnel in aquatic animal pathology, bacteriology, virology, parasitology and mycology will be essential.
Currently, research on, and diagnosis of, aquatic animal diseases is undertaken with some limitations by State laboratories, private veterinary laboratories, universities, research institutes, and CSIRO divisions including AAHL Fish Diseases Laboratory (AFDL) at CSIRO Livestock Industries. It is essential to build on these resources to become better prepared for the anticipated growth in industry.
Training courses for diagnosticians and fish health specialists will be required to maintain Australia's proficiency to detect and diagnose aquatic animal diseases, and maintain the confidence of our trading partners. Due to increased world trade and travel, the threat of exotic disease is increasing. This project is aimed at providing information and training to aquatic animal health specialists to assist in recognition of exotic disease, and management of disease emergencies.

The major outcomes of this project are:
(1) as a result of the Training Course, each State/Territory now has one or two specialists who have recently been updated on the exotic diseases of the aquaculture industries in Australia (i.e., diseases on the National List of Reportable Diseases of Aquatic Animals). Their improved knowledge and awareness, and their capacity to improve the knowledge and awareness of many of their colleagues, will encourage greater confidence in the ability of regional aquaculture health specialists to recognize, and manage, incursions of exotic diseases. This, in turn, will assist Australian aquaculture industries to maintain their enviable status with respect to freedom from the major aquatic animal diseases of the world
(2) there is now a well-organized resource available for future training of aquaculture health specialists in those diseases that are of prime importance to the aquaculture industries of Australia, i.e., the diseases on the National List of Reportable Diseases of Aquatic Animals.
A copy of the training course can be obtained from FRDC on request.
