Improved understanding of Tasmanian harmful algal blooms and biotoxin events to support seafood risk management

The 2012 Tasmanian biotoxin event represents a paradigm shift for seafood risk management in Tasmania and Australia as a whole. The causative dinoflagellates are extremely difficult to identify by routine plankton monitoring, and are toxic at very low cell concentrations (50-100 cells/L). Sampling...

Understanding recruitment collapse of juvenile abalone in the Eastern Zone Abalone fishery – development of pre-recruitment monitoring, simulation of recruitment variation and predicting the impact of climate variation

Over the past three decades the Tasmanian Eastern Zone Abalone Fishery has experienced several fluctuations in catch and catch rates of Blacklip Abalone as well as environmental perturbations, which may be affecting productivity. The capacity to measure inter-annual variation in Blacklip Abalone...

SCRC: RTG:To learn practical skills in conducting viral disease challenge techniques in Penaeid prawn species using white-spot syndrome virus (WSSV) as a model virus to be conducted at Shrimp Biotechnology Business Unit (BIOTEC), Pathumthani, Thailand.

Due to the nature of commercial prawn farming, constraints within the industry such as disease management will always pose problems from managing endemic diseases; such as gill-associated virus in Australia, to exotic diseases including Yellow Head Virus and White Spot Syndrome Virus. The need to...

SCRC: Seafood CRC Combined Visiting Expert and Research Travel Grant Application: Visit by Dr. Standish K. Allen Jr. from the Virginia Institute of Marine Science to Australia and fluorescent in situ hybridisation training by CRC PhD student Penny Miller prior to Dr Allen’s visit

Fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH) is a genetic technique that involves fluorescently labelling chromosomes so that each can be identified individually under a high powered microscope. FISH could be an important tool for detecting the aneuploid frequency in tetraploid oyster populations. This...
