The regional veterinary laboratory at EMAI (RVL Menangle) has in the last 2 months employed four full time trainee veterinary pathologists from Consolidated Revenue - thus, a long term committment to state based diagnostics has been made. Additionally, I have been employed in a full time capacity as diagnostic pathologist and laboratory leader. Our status with regards to terrestrial animal diagnostics is excellent, and we have some significant depth. My concern is that as our aquatic diagnostic load begins to increase, our trainees will lack the depth of knowlege required to advise industry.
Dr Judith Handlinger is willing to spend one week with the four trainees, specifically teaching finfish, crustacean and bivalve pathology and diagnostics. In return, I will spend one week in the DPI Tasmania lab giving a course to their four new pathologists on general pathological principles.
This modest project would expose a new generation of diagnosticians to a soon to be retired world expert, and foster increased collegial relationships between two laboratories that have a significant role to play in the Australia Aquatic industries.
1. Increased knowledge of basic aquatic physiology and immunology
2. Increased knowledge of common aquatic pathological responses
3. In depth gross examination of the diseased specimen
4. Histological diagnosis of common disease affecting Australian aquaculture species
5. General diagnostics and warning signs regarding exotic aquaculture diseases
6. Professional networking amongst two significant aquaculture diagnostic centers.

Aquatic Animal Health Subprogram: investigating and managing the Perkinsus related mortality of blacklip abalone in NSW - phase 1
Since the early 1990’s, a significant proportion of blacklip abalone (Haliotis rubra) along approximately 500 km of the NSW coastline between Port Stephens and Jervis Bay have died. Sporadic histological examination of moribund abalone since 1992 and a survey of infection prevalence in abalone...

Aquatic Animal Health Subprogram: enhancing the emergency disease response capability of NSW and Qld Government agencies and industry bodies associated with oyster culture
AQUAPLAN was generated as a National Strategic Plan for Aquatic Animal Health in recognition of the growing importance of protecting fisheries and aquaculture industries from disease. This project allowed NSW Fisheries to begin implementing one component of the National AQUAPLAN objectives,...

1. Determine nutrient digestibility of major terrestrial protein and energy feed ingredients for which information is not currently available.
2. Determine contribution to fish and prawn growth of the most promising new ingredients and identify the maximum amounts which can be included in practical diets.
3. Evaluate carbohydrate utilisation and determine effects of carbohydrate type, content and processing on digestibility.
4. Use results to determine first limiting nutrients for fish and prawn diets based on Australian ingredients, and to formulate practical diets for evaluation in commercially relevant facilities.
5. Communicate results to producers of feed ingredients, feed manufacturers, aquaculturists and the scientific community.

1. The workshop will provide training in general pathology of molluscs and crustacea. It will also focus on characterisation of major disease in these animals.
2. It is envisaged that this training will provide a sound sufficient basis for further development of expertise in Australian workers within the local setting

A 5-day, intensive Shellfish Diseases Workshop was held at NSW Fisheries' Brackish Water Fish Culture Research Station, Salamander Bay, from 6-10 December 1993.
The workshop was organized by Sub-Committee on Fish Health, a sub-committee of Animal Health Committee. It was attended by laboratory diagnosticians and researchers with major service and/or research commitments in the area of shellfish diseases. Prior to the workshop, most of these workers had little, if any, formal training in invertebrate pathology.
