Microplastics are commonly consumed by seafood species however, there is still limited understanding of the effects and implications that microplastics may have on the fishing and aquaculture industry. This project summarises research on the effects that microplastic may be having on seafood...
This review compares approaches taken to monitor and mitigate common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) interactions with the South Australian Sardine Fishery (SASF) with those taken for protected species interactions with other fisheries for small pelagic species, including Australia’s Commonwealth...
In this project, we reviewed the scientific literature and collaborated with Australian abalone growers to develop a case definition for summer mortality. The case definition developed for summer mortality is as follows:
i. Chronic mortality of unknown cause (if in doubt take this to mean...
There are no registered or permitted antimicrobial products approved by the Australian Pesticide and Veterinary Medicine Authority (APVMA) for treatment of bacterial infections in finfish. This project developed an application for a minor-use permit (MUP) for the use of oxytetracycline (OTC) to...
In this project, we developed guidelines to provide the Australian sea-cage finfish (non-salmonid) industry with the tools and templates to create an auditable farm biosecurity plan. Consideration was given to the current farming of yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi), southern bluefin tuna...

The development of indicators to measure and monitor the performance of fisheries against economic objectives continues to challenge fisheries managers.
The purpose of this webinar is to provide an overview of productivity...
The research in this report was undertaken as part of Koster Sarakinis’s PhD project at the University of Adelaide supervised by Professor Bronwyn Gillanders (University of Adelaide), Dr Patrick Reis Santos (University of Adelaide), Dr Qifeng Ye (SARDI Aquatic Sciences), and Dr Jason...
This report provides a detailed characterisation, assessment and prediction of the meteorological and oceanographic conditions that will be encountered by, and have the potential to impact, future petroleum activities in the Great Australian Bight. In the absence of direct, long-term...
The World Fisheries Congress is the premier international fisheries congress, bringing together research, industry and management to discuss the latest advances in fisheries world-wide. The 8th World Fisheries Congress, hosted from Adelaide, Australia from 20 to 24 September 2021, was...
The South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI) in collaboration with the Tasmanian oyster industry and regulators, University of Tasmania and Plant and Food Research New Zealand undertook a survey of significant foodborne Vibrio species (Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio...
We have conducted a comprehensive media survey of key media texts across all major genres and platforms for the past 3 years (2015-2018) to identify: the major reported issues affecting seafood sustainability; the role of celebrity chefs and media influencers in this media coverage; and the effects...
This investigation was undertaken by the University of Adelaide and the University of Western Australia as a part of the research priorities for the National Carp Control Plan. While proposed biological control agents to reduce carp numbers may have positive impacts to aquatic ecosystems, it is...

The South Australian Marine Scalefish Fishery (MSF) has
sustained extensive management change over time, influencing its demographics. Now
fishers in the MSF community are dispersed both physically and in perspective.
These factors have made it harder for the MSF to connect with and...
