Economic losses due to diseases mostly caused by viruses remain a major obstacle to realizing the production potential of prawn aquaculture industries in many parts of the world. Broodstock used in prawn hatcheries in Australia are generally managed quite intensively and numbers used are generally...
A proven requirement for sustainable and efficient primary production is well managed selective breeding programs of domesticated stock.
This project was undertaken to provide the proponents (CSIRO and CRC) with an independent assessment of a business case upon which to progress a strategy and...
Consistent, deep red coloured cooked prawns are highly sought after in the Australian market and accordingly fetch premium market prices. Farmed crustacean species commonly have suboptimal colour consistency and/or colour intensity. There is an industry driven need to therefore optimise colour...
