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...
Fat or oil content in fish is an economically important trait as it is one of the primary determinants of flesh quality and consumer perception of the end-product. The market value of a carcass or fillets, particularly of large species such as kingfish and tuna, can be strongly influenced by the...

The audit was required to note any issues on the current ease of...
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...
