Summary

The aim of this project was to farm, on a pilot commercial scale, two indigenous species of marine fish: snapper, Pagrus auratus; and mulloway, Argyrosomus hololepidotus.

The project involved:

  • development of hatchery techniques;
  • intensive rearing of larvae;
  • transport of live fish;
  • design, construction and testing of seacages for research;
  • grow-out of juvenile fish in tanks and seacages;
  • identifying and treating disease outbreaks in seacages;
  • obtaining production data; and
  • obtaining preliminary marketing information.

The project sought to provide information on the possibility of enhancing wild stocks of mulloway by the release of fish originating from a hatchery.
