SCRC: PDRS - Seafood Molecular Biologist: Mapping Microbial Communities in Seafood Production and Processing Environments to Improve Targeting Intervention Strategies (Dr Shane Powell)

Until the 1990s, when it became possible to access and analyse DNA directly from the environment, the study of microbiology was limited to studying microbes that were able to be grown in artificial culture. The advent of DNA-based methods provided a way to access and study the enormous diversity of...

Aspects of feeding, maturation and osmoregulation in cultured juvenile greenback flounder

Skeletal deformities have been observed in cultured flounder in recent years. At times, high percentages of fish are affected, potentially influencing growth and marketability, and affecting the reliability of the experimental data collected. Many growers taking fish for pilot scale grow-out trials...
