Risk analysis to identify and minimise biosecurity risks arising from recycling bivalve mollusc shell waste during shellfish reef restoration projects in Australia
The assessment indicated that heating recycled mollusc shells in water to 80°C for at least 5 minutes would meet the ALOP for all diseases (despite uncertainly for some disease agents due to lack of information, as indicated by ?), and was within the ALOP for all pests of concern. This method...

The Department of Agriculture and Water Resources is seeking expressions of interest for the revision of the following AQUAVETPLAN Disease strategy manual:
1. White Spot Disease
The Australian Aquatic Veterinary Emergency Plan (AQUAVETPLAN) is a series of manuals that outline Australia’s approach to national disease preparedness and propose the technical response and control strategies to be activated in a national aquatic animal disease emergency.
To assist potential applicants in preparing their expression of interest:
• Current AQUAVETPLAN manuals, including the current version of the AQUAVETPLAN manuals for White spot disease, is available on the Department’s website at AQUAVETPLAN.
• Author guidelines, including the latest template for AQUAVETPLAN manuals, can be provided electronically on request from the Aquatic Pest and Health Policy section (contact details below).
Terms of Reference
The White spot disease manual was first published in 2005, and the second version was published in 2013. This manual requires revision to reflect new scientific knowledge, and to ensure that strategies used for White Spot disease control purposes reflect current ‘best-practice’ approaches.

This disease strategy for the control and eradication of white spot disease (WSD) is an integral part of the Australian Aquatic Veterinary Emergency Plan (AQUAVETPLAN).
AQUAVETPLAN disease strategy manuals are response manuals and do not include information about preventing the introduction of disease.
AQUAVETPLAN disease strategy manuals are response manuals and do not include information about preventing the introduction of disease.
This strategy sets out the disease control principles for use in an aquatic veterinary emergency incident caused by the suspicion or confirmation of white spot disease in Australia. The strategy was scientifically reviewed by the Sub Committee for Aquatic Animal Health of the Animal Health Committee, before being endorsed by the Animal Health Committee of the National Biosecurity Committee in February 2020.
White spot disease is listed by the OIE in the Aquatic Animal Health Code. White spot disease is also listed on Australia’s National List of Reportable Diseases of Aquatic Animals (Agriculture 2019).

Expressions of interest were sought by DAWR.
The Department of Agriculture and Water Resources (the Department) is seeking expressions of interest for the development of a mobile application for the ‘Aquatic Animal Diseases Significant to Australia: Identification Field Guide’ (Department of Agriculture 2012).
The Aquatic animal diseases significant to Australia: Identification field guide (the Field Guide) is a key resource for raising awareness of important aquatic animal diseases and encouraging reporting of disease incidents to responsible authorities. The field guide provides guidance for commercial fishers, aquaculture workers, recreational fishers, biosecurity staff and scientists on how to recognise and report significant aquatic animal diseases.
The Department is seeking expressions for suitably qualified parties to make the field guide available as a mobile application (Android, Windows and iOS platforms). The application for mobile devices aims to increase accessibility of the field guide for field use and to incorporate user-friendly mechanisms for reporting of suspected aquatic animal disease events.
