SCRC: PhD: Broodstock conditioning and maturation of sandfish (Holothuria scabra) and optimisation of spawning induction techniques.
This thesis reports on an investigation of brood stock conditioning methods for the tropical sea cucumber Holothuria scabra. The project aims to advance the field of sea cucumber aquaculture by developing improved methods for the conditioning and spawning of brood stock.
There is great demand for...

SCRC: SCRC RTG: Training in endocrine diagnostic techniques and hormone analysis of thermally challenged female Atlantic Salmon broodstock
The purpose of the research was to determine whether the endocrine profiles of plasma follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) changed as a result of thermal exposure, broodstock age or hormonal treatment in farmed female Atlantic Salmon. FSH promotes the production of...

SCRC: Yellowtail Kingfish genetics: commercialisation strategies
Previously, we have implemented a selective breeding program for Yellowtail Kingfish (YTK) and today all production is based on genetically selected stock, which is up to 20% superior than the wild stock.
This current project focuses on whether realized selection response was achieved and adds:

SCRC: Development of germ cell transplantation technology for the Australian aquaculture industry
The project was designed to explore the application of surrogate technology as an alternative broodstock system for the Southern Bluefin Tuna (SBT). Surrogate technology, also known as germ cell transplantation, uses germ cells from a donor species, in this case SBT, and transplants them into a host...

SCRC: PhD : The effect of temperature on reproductive development in maiden and repeat spawning farmed Atlantic Salmon: Understanding the molecular basis for improved egg quality and survival
Tasmanian Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) broodstock can encounter temperatures above 20°C, which has a marked negative effect on reproductive development. Broodstock management strategies are needed in order to maintain egg quality in the face of thermal challenge either due to seasonal...
