SCRC: Tackling microbial related issues in cultured shellfish via integrated molecular and water chemistry approaches

Aquacultured species such as oysters and abalone live their entire lifecycle in seawater, and co-exist with a wide range of innocuous, pathogenic and beneficial microorganisms. Some microbes cause diseases resulting in significant losses for the farms. This study set out to provide shellfish...

Effects of seasonal and interannual variability of the ocean environment on recruitment to the fisheries of Western Australia

The relatively high catch of invertebrate species in Western Australia compared to finfish is in sharp contrast to other regions of the world where finfish production usually dominates. This low level of finfish production is primarily due to the Leeuwin Current which brings warm, low nutrient...

Objectives

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.

Summary

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.
