Aquatic Animal Health Subprogram: Development of stable positive control material and development of internal controls for molecular tests for detection of important endemic and exotic pathogens

This project has resulted in the production of a bank of quality-assured, non-infectious, quantifiable, molecular test controls that can be provided to any diagnostic laboratory in a ready-to-use form to assist them with the implementation of specific aquatic animal disease diagnostic tests. In...

Seafood CRC: genetic selection for Amoebic Gill Disease (AGD) resilience in the Tasmanian Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) breeding program

Amoebic gill disease (AGD) continues to have a significant economic impact upon production of sea-farmed Atlantic salmon in Tasmania. Reducing mortality is economically important for the fish farmer and is equally important from an animal welfare perspective. The process of freshwater bathing...

IPA APFA: detection of pesticide impacts on larval prawns in hatcheries and presence in estuarine intake water

The use patterns of pesticides in Australia has changed over the last decade, with the use of pyrethroid and neonicotinoid insecticides increasing. The limited water quality data that is available has measured increased concentrations of the neonicotinoid insecticide imidacloprid in...

Summary

The primary reason for this travel was to attend the Fish Breeders' Round Table in Stavanger, Norway. This is an international forum, where knowledge and experience is exchanged between fish breeding researchers and those involved in applied genetic improvement work on a commercial basis.

The forum included over 30 presentations on genomics, genetic models and commercial application of fish breeding. Following the meeting the author visited research institutions and Atlantic Salmon breeding installations.

SCRC: Optimising External Colour in Farmed Crustaceans, using Penaeus monodon as a model species.

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...
