Seafood CRC: optimisation of viral clearance from broodstock prawns using targeted RNA interference
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...

Seafood CRC: increasing seedstock production of domesticated giant tiger prawns (Penaeus monodon) through improved male fertility
Given the rationale that pond systems are likely the most cost-effective system for large-scale production of Giant Tiger Prawn (Penaeus monodon) broodstock, this project aimed to determine whether pond-rearing poses a significant risk for broodstock production.
The gross reproductive development of...

DNA microsatellite variation in Atlantic salmon
The aquaculture of Atlantic salmon began in Australia in the mid-1960' s with an importation of ova from Canada to New South Wales. Anecdotal evidence suggested that the Australian population went through a severe bottleneck event during the early years due to poor survival and subsequent small...

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...

BCA: DNA microsatellite variation in Atlantic salmon
This report carries out ex-post cost/benefit analysis on three Tasmania Atlantic salmon research projects carried out by CSIRO Marine Research, Hobart.
The three projects are analysed together as all are concerned with examining genetic diversity in Tasmanian Atlantic salmon. In addition to the...

1. To assess and develop the aquaculture potential of P. esculentus by:
2. Quantifying the growth performance under commercial farm culture conditions.
3. Developing a cost-effective diet for optimal growth.
4. Quantifying the potential for spawning of broodstock without ablation.
5. Closing the life cycle to provide for future selective breeding.

In order to provide for future growth of the Australian prawn aquaculture industry, there is a need to take a longer-term strategic view and develop production technology for alternative species that can support an export market but do not have the intense overseas competition of the current major species, P. monodon. This research project addresses the need for feasibility studies on farm production of an additional species that could be profitable in new or existing markets.
The strategic objective is to build on our current information to develop and test techniques for growing P. esculentus in a farm environment, and to quantify the commercial suitability of this species. The project is structured to demonstrate the growout and market potential of the species in pilot trials, to further develop and test an appropriate growout diet, to develop closed life cycle reproduction for future selective breeding and to evaluate the cost benefit of production of P. esculentus. The project commences the development of technology and assesses the potential for P. esculentus to become an additional species for Australian farm production.

Atlantic Salmon Aquaculture Subprogram: molecular genetic tools for the Tasmanian Atlantic salmon industry – development and application
Archived DNA was successfully extracted from 30-year-old dried scales collected in 1971 and 1972 from wild Atlantic salmon from the River Philip, Canada.
Genetic variation was assessed at 11 nuclear DNA microsatellite loci (three tetra- and eight di-nucleotide repeats) in two samples from the River...
