Seafood CRC: Development of a genetic management and improvement strategy for Australian cultured Barramundi

The aim of this study was to review existing Barramundi-related genetic knowledge to identify relevant research and where the R&D gaps preventing instigation of Barramundi breeding programs presently exist. They identified and prioritised the research and steps that need to be taken to establish...

SCRC: PhD: Processing of Sea cucumber viscera for bioactive compounds

Sea cucumbers are prolific producers of a wide range of bioactive compounds, which are potential sources of agrichemical, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical products. Sea cucumbers expel their internal organs as a defence mechanism called evisceration. We hypothesize that the reason for...

SCRC: Population genetic structure of Sea Cucumbers (bêche-de-mer) in Northern Australia

Sandfish (Holothuria scabra), a commercially important species of Sea Cucumber, are fished off the northern Australian coast. Elsewhere in the Asia-Pacific region, where they are commonly fished, they have been found to be particularly vulnerable to over-exploitation. Currently, as little is known...

SCRC: PhD : Understanding penaeid prawn sex determination and developing monosex induction strategies for commercial application (Andrew Foote)

Domestication and selective breeding programs in a number of cultured penaeid shrimp species worldwide have substantially improved commercially desirable traits compared to wild stocks. Improvements in growth rates, feed conversion efficiency, disease resistance and survival have been achieved in...
