Need

There are increasing national and international pressures to manage fisheries according to the principles of Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD, e.g. Convention on Biological Diversity 1992; National Strategy for Ecologically Sustainable Development 1992; Australia's Ocean's Policy 1998).

Implementing ESD for Australia’s fisheries means that research and management will need to focus increasingly on ecosystem effects. Recent assessments have shown that few data are available on the ecological effects of most fisheries.

These concepts and approaches are in the developmental stages and need to be better defined, applied and communicated.

This project meets four of the strategies within the FRDCs Natural Resources Sustainability Program:
(1) Interactions between fish and their ecosystems;
(2) Effects of fishing activities on fish and their ecosystems;
(3) Health of fish and their ecosystems; and
(4) fisheries and ecosystems management.

Funding this project would ensure FRDC involvement in this critical national initiative in fisheries research and management and extend the valuable long-term relationship between FRDC and ASFB.

Objectives

1. To conduct the ASFB2004 workshop as the "National Symposium on the Ecosystem Research and Management of Fisheries".
2. To involve international and Australian experts on: pelagic fisheries and trophodynamics
temperate reef fisheries and benthic communities
and rivers and estuaries with limited and variable flows.
3. To publish the proceedings from the Symposium in a peer-reviewed, high-quality format, perhaps as a special edition of Marine and Freshwater Research (MFR).

Summary

By Ian Stewart

Harmful algal toxins are a recognised hazard to seafood safety. Several toxin families are subject to regulatory oversight, so the topic of reliable and reproducible detection and quantification of this structurally and functionally diverse group of compounds is of paramount importance for export and domestic seafood industries and seafood consumers. State-of-the-art analytical competencies for harmful algal biotoxins are needed in order to fully support the Australian seafood industry's ability to comply with export requirements.

AOAC International's Pacific Northwest meeting in Tacoma represented an opportunity for the Seafood CRC to participate at an important gathering of global experts in the field of algal toxin analysis and research. This is a rapidly developing field, both in terms of a growing understanding of the public health and trade implications attributable to known and novel algal biotoxins, as well as advances in analytical capability through instrumentation and skills. AOAC International, the Association of Analytical Communities, is the focal agency for analytical method development, method validation and related knowledge dissemination.

The objectives of this visit to the US were to:

1. Update knowledge on algal and cyanobacterial biotoxins

2. Communicate with experts in the field from around the world

3. Contribute to the proceedings by presenting a paper.

4. Participate in training for advanced analytical techniques for lipophilic shellfish toxin measurement.
