1. Assess the effectiveness of three forms of amino acid supplementation to improve the amino acid balance of diets containing terrestrial proteins. (CSIRO).
2. To define the daily requirements for essential amino acids and energy of the black tiger prawn during grow-out at specific temperatures.
3. To define the requirements in silver perch for the essential fatty acids and amino acids. (NSWF)
4. Determine the protein and energy requirements of several size classes barramundi at several temperatures.

6. Communicate the research findings to the feed manufacturing industry and the scientific community. (CSIRO, QDPI)
Sustainability is a broad and complex concept, and consideration of the diverse suite of factors involved in social, economic, ecological and governance arrangements is needed to create truly sustainable food production industries. Australian fisheries encompasses a much broader range of issues than...
This study undertook ecosystem and population modelling to evaluate and provide advice on the reference points (e.g. biomass depletion levels) and settings (e.g. exploitation rates) for the four main target species in the harvest strategy of the Commonwealth Small Pelagic Fishery (SPF) – Jack...
