This project greatly contributed to an increased understanding of parasite fauna of yellowtail kingfish in Australian waters.  This baseline information is critical to understanding potential parasite interactions between wild and farmed kingfish.  Our risk assessment enables consideration of parasite species of potential threat to the emerging industry.  We found batch marking hatchery fish with fluorescent dye may be the most practical and inexpensive method to discriminate wild and farmed fish.  We also provide the first data on wild kingfish migrations in Spencer Gulf, demonstrating that there may be heightened interactions between wild and farmed fish in Fitzgerald Bay in summer. 

This project provided training to several researchers, including one PhD student in the area of aquatic animal health and one Honours student in the area of otolith chemistry.  We indicate appropriate methods to enable better management practices in the kingfish industry which will help improve the viability of kingfish aquaculture in Australia in the future.
