Reducing uncertainty in the assessment of the Australian spanner crab fishery

Spanner crabs (Ranina ranina) represent a valuable single-species fishery in Queensland. Although a transparent and effective assessment process was developed some years ago for setting the commercial total allowable catch (TAC), additional information was needed to reduce some of the uncertainty in...

Effects of Trawling Subprogram: the environmental effects of prawn trawling in the far Northern Section of the Great Barrier Reef

This report covers a five year study into the effects of trawling on seabed communities in the inter-shoal and inter-reef areas in the Far Northern Section of the Great Barrier Reef. The study arose from a GBRMPA convened scientific Workshop in 1989 to address the effects of fishing in the Great...

A study of seagrass prawn nursery grounds and juvenile prawn populations in north Queensland

Seagrasses are of immense ecological importance in marine ecosystems. Primary production rates for seagrass beds are amongst the highest recorded for marine and terrestrial systems. They have a well documented role as animal habitat, nursery grounds, and as substrate stabilizers. The proximity of...

The effect of barramundi Nodavirus on important freshwater fishes

This project has confirmed the knowledge that management of barramundi translocations outside their natural range requires fisheries authorities take into account the risk that barramundi nodavirus may lethally infect native freshwater fishes. The project has shown barramundi nodavirus can...

Need

Seafood CRC research (2009/727) has shown that there is significant potential for increased product storage life through supply chain management improvements. In one major supply chain (MG Kailis) it has been demonstrated that savings of $150,000pa ongoing can be achieved through implementation of relatively simple improvements. In that study, the QI method was introduced to the company and the QI manual is now used at various points in their supply chain to assist supply chain monitoring. However, to date there has been very little broader uptake of QI schemes within the Australian Industry, despite efforts (including commissioning SeaNet, FRDC 2010-305) to commercialise and raise awareness of the benefits of using QI.

With proposed investment by the Sydney Fish Market, De Costi Seafoods and MG Kailis for improving their supply management processes to achieve increased product storage life, the timing is now right to work with these companies to introduce the QI method and assess how to better meet their operational needs. This will be most effective where the QI tool is in a readily-useable format. A criticism of the current hardcopy manual format is that they are cumbersome and difficult to use in the varied supply chain environments. However, the manuals are still highly valuable as a QA management document and it is intended to maintain these in the short to medium term.

The Seafood CRC has the opportunity to build on the prototype ‘app’ platform developed by the Sydney Fish Market and create a more useful QI tool format for the entire Australian seafood industry. Working initially with three supply chains will generate traction within the wider industry with the goal of mirroring the outcome of European success of widespread adoption of QI methods within their supply chains.

Objectives

1. Update and distribute existing hardcopy QI Manuals, incorporating the new schemes
2. Develop and test a mobile 'app' in three seafood supply chains
3. Evaluate success and prepare communication materials

Summary

This project has raised awareness within targeted seafood supply chains of QI methodology and the advantages of use within quality assurance systems.

Initial focus centred on updating the existing Australian Quality Index Manual with all schemes developed for Australian fish species. Over two hundred hardcopy QI Manuals have been distributed to appropriate seafood businesses. The QI Manual provides a comprehensive resource for information on the QI technique, how to use it for quality assurance assessment and includes QI scoring templates, along with visual depiction of ice day storage correlated to QI score attained. Industry comment on the usefulness of the QI Manual recognised the value of a QA system formalised with background science, along with the benefit for audit purposes and the benefit of common language between industry participants.

The project’s main goal was to provide QI method in a format that was most readily applicable in any environment at any point along the supply chain. To achieve this, an Australian Seafood Quality Index App (ASQI App) was created suitable for use on multiple devices.
