Need

The CRC has a significant investment in abalone production from both aquaculture and wild catch sectors. This project will address two needs across this broad suite of projects.

The first is to engage with national and international industry members, researchers and managers, working on similar topics elsewhere in the world to avoid repetition of existing and future research, learn from their experiences, and to ensure that CRC research is cutting edge.
The second is to enhance the outcomes from these projects through engaging with and communicating to numerous national and international stakeholders.

The forum proposed here is a cost effective opportunity to address these needs for CRC projects on abalone for both production sectors. It will be held as part of the 8th International Abalone Symposium in Hobart in May 2012 so that research and participants from elsewhere can be part of the sessions.

The CRC Forum will run over at least a single day to encourage participation of industry at a conference that would otherwise be dominated by academics. Funding sought here is to subsidise industry attendance to increase participation.

The forum will be based on areas of CRC research activity:
1) Reseeding workshop
2) Marketing session
3) SnailBASE workshop
4) Aquaculture nutrition session

Summary

The main aim of this project was to engage with national and international industry members, researchers and managers, working on topics similar to CRC projects elsewhere in the world. The CRC Abalone Forum was run in Hobart in May 2012, in conjunction the 8th International Abalone Symposium in Hobart in May 2012 so that research and participants from elsewhere could be part of the sessions. The conference and thus the forum attracted a large number of registrants (261) from 19 countries.  The forum dealt with areas of special relevance to CRC projects and was effective in generating outputs from the CRC with many papers currently under review for publication in a refereed journal.  The forum also included sponsorship for industry registrations which contributed to the larger than usual participation of industry in this type of event (130 registrations).

The reseeding workshop was held to review and reinvigorate the concept of abalone enhancement. Enhancement operations were showcased from Japan, the USA and New Zealand. Presentations explored field methods of stock enhancement/reseeding and evaluating survival to help direct future efforts and maximise efficacy.

The CRC has substantial investment in marketing.  The forum assisted with this through the presentation of information on global production and markets. The intent was to develop a better-informed Australian research and industry community fully aware of the latest global trends.

A workshop was also held to progress the development of “SnailBASE” which involved participants from several countries.
