1. To evaluate the biological characteristics of the recognised stocks of redclaw, determine thier genetic basis and assess their relative suitability to cultivation.
2. To investigate the nutrition of redclaw through studies of digestive physiology/morphology, natural food availability and comparative feeding trials.
3. To develop standard growout techniques in relation to pond preparation, stocking density and size, pond management and harvesting, and to prepare a practical manual for the industry.
4. To investigate the feasibility of polyculturing redclaw and silver perch

This research and development project aimed to define specific guidelines for the aquaculture production of redclaw crayfish, Cherax quadricarinatus. This aim was achieved, and a comprehensive list of such guidelines is now documented.
Redclaw crayfish aquaculture was a small industry when this project was initiated, generating less than 40 tonnes of product per year. Production technology was undefined and extremely variable across the industry. Now, in 1996, production has risen to around 100 tonnes and a more consistent and appropriate approach is applied to production. This is due to a large extent to the technologies developed by this project, the full benefits of which are still flowing to industry.
Armed with a ‘best practice’ approach, the redclaw aquaculture industry is poised for significant expansion, which will enable it to more fully exploit the excellent export opportunities which have been clearly identified for the product.

The indigenous development scholarship is part of the suite of professional development opportunities developed and managed through the FRDC people development program. This particular scholarship addresses the following objectives of the people development program 2008-2013:
Objective 1 Enhance industry leadership within all sectors
and; Objective 3 Provide opportunities for knowledge transfer and R&D adoption
The significant drivers identified in the FRDC people development program, addressed by this project
are:
- There is a shortage of industry leaders in all sectors of the fishing industry.
- There is an urgent need to develop people within all sectors who have the skills to effectively contribute to debate and policy development for significant challenges, including access to fish resources.
-Early career researchers and emerging industry leaders lack opportunities for formal mentoring and
professional development.
-There is a shortage of opportunities for people in industry to develop skills that are going to directly
improve business profitability and sustainability.
-The industry is geographically dispersed and fragmented, and needs opportunities to learn within and
across sectors.
1. To provide one annual scholarship for an indigenous person
2. To encourage maximm benefit from the scholarship with a personalised learning program and mentoring
3. Support and encourage the development of sustainable and mutually beneficial relationships between emerging indigenous leaders and host organisations
