Project number: 1996-344
Project Status:
Completed
Budget expenditure: $355,444.00
Principal Investigator: Louis Evans
Organisation: Curtin University
Project start/end date: 27 Jun 1996 - 6 Jan 2005

Objectives

1. To identify suitable immune system parameters which can be used to evaluate stress reponses and health status in captive lobsters and to apply those parameters in a study of stress induced by post harvest handling procedures.
2. To investigate the causes of mortality in captive lobsters held in processing factories. This study will focus on bacteriological and histopathological examinations and will result in the development of a standard protocol for autopsy of lobsters.
3. To evluate the influence of temperature change on immunological and physiological stress reponses.
4. To study the influence of hormonal secretions on immunological and physiological stress reponses.
5. To investigate innovative techniques which will boost immunocompetence but not adversely affect marketability of live product.

Need

The RAC supported the concept of developing a single, consumer oriented publication on the health benefits of seafood. This project will provide text for an e-book to the Australian Seafood CRC (ASCRC) based on the best available evidence associated with seafood consumption and human health.

The ASCRC communications company (Fuller) will lay out and design the e-book (including graphics) as part of the ASCRC 'Super Seafood' branding and packaging of information.
