Seafood CRC: Understanding and reducing the risk of paralytic shellfish toxins in Southern Rock Lobster

This report details the results of a multifaceted a research program led by the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI). The work was undertaken to assist the rock lobster industry to understand food safety risks from a toxin naturally accumulated in the lobster hepatopancreas....

ESD of fish farms: a pilot study to refine techniques for quantify the effect and processes associated with seafloor souring and recovery following sea cage rotation fallowing and harrowing

Project number: 1994-091
Project Status:
Completed
Budget expenditure: $62,229.71
Principal Investigator: Anthony Cheshire
Organisation: SARDI Food Safety and Innovation
Project start/end date: 17 Sep 1994 - 29 Nov 1996
Contact:
FRDC

Objectives

1. Quantify the variability in terms of community composition, abundance, metabolism and nutrient exchange, of the seafloor sediment beneath and adjacent sea cages on a number of spatial and temporal scales
2. Evaluate, on a pilot scale, whether harrowing, bacterial additives and surface sediment removal reduce the rate of seafloor scouring and therefore enhance the rate of recovery of seafloor sediments
3. Develop and refine cost effective techniques to quantify the rate of souring and recovery of seafloor sediments beneath and adjacent to sea cages
4. Develop a detailed R&D proposal for cost effectively evaluating the rate of souring and in particular, the recovery of the seafloor sediments associated with sea cages in aquaculture ventures thereby leading to improved management strategies and farm practices

Need

SARDI Food Safety has strong microbiological capability, but limited technical capability in relation to chemical residues and additives, or naturally occurring toxins which require specialist knowledge.

The incumbent is therefore expected to provide additional specialist input to existing projects, including:
1) Market Access Defenders (Prawns) - provide input into risk:benefit assessment in relation to Cadmium in Prawns
2) Market Access for Abalone - Marine Biotoxins - application of analytical skills to laboratory results from the monitoring programme
3) Sulphites in Abalone - provide technical expertise to assist with the risk assessment
4) Provision of technical advice in the area of toxicology/chemistry to SafeFish to assist in resolution of technical trade issues.

The incumbent will be expected to work closely with the AS CRC industry participants to develop a research projects in the area of chemical residues and natural toxins. Given current industry priorities concerning the development of marine conservation parks, initial consideration will be given to the development of a project to 'map' Australia's marine environment with respect to chemical contaminants and this information would then be available for industry use in the 'marine park' debate.

Future oysters CRC-P: Species diversification to provide alternatives for commercial production

Pacific Oyster Mortality Syndrome (POMS), the disease caused by OsHV-1 microvariant, results in high and rapid mortality in Pacific Oysters (Crassostrea gigas) and has been responsible for significant economic loss to oyster industries in Australia and around the world. The diversification of...

SCRC: SCRC RTG 3.3: Zooplankton research tour and fish hatchery/farm visits in Taiwan (Dr Bennan Chen)"

Dr Chen undertook a research tour in Taiwan, as previously organised, to investigate the copepod pond production system used for marine larval finfish rearing. This involved capturing information about the system and getting some hands-on experience. The system could possibly be adopted, with...
