SCRC: PhD : Protecting the Safety and Quality of Australian Oysters using Predictive Models Integrated with ‘Intelligent’ Cold Chain Technologies

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a bacterial species indigenous to marine environments and can accumulate in oysters. Some V. parahaemolyticus strains are pathogenic and seafoodborne outbreaks are observed worldwide. This pathogen can reach infectious levels in oysters if post-harvest temperatures are not...

SCRC: SCRC RTG: Collaboration with Dr Salina Parveen to discuss comparisons of Vibrio parahaemolyticus models for Australian Pacific, Sydney Rock, and American Oysters at the University of Maryland (for Mark Tamplin)

Vibrio spp. are bacteria that naturally occur in oysters. Some Vibrio spp. such as V. parahaemolyticus cause human disease when levels are high and oysters are eaten raw. Predictive tools can be used to estimate V. parahaemolyticus levels in oysters, and to monitor and design cold chains that...

Can commercial harvest of long-spined sea urchins reduce the impact of urchin grazing on abalone and lobster fisheries?

At low-levels of exploitation, commercial harvesting of long-spined sea urchins was found to prevent increase in urchin density. Adjacent unfished locations experienced an increase in both urchin density and grazed area over the 2014 – 2016 study period. Research sampling of populations...
