Seafood CRC: genetic selection for Amoebic Gill Disease (AGD) resilience in the Tasmanian Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) breeding program

Amoebic gill disease (AGD) continues to have a significant economic impact upon production of sea-farmed Atlantic salmon in Tasmania. Reducing mortality is economically important for the fish farmer and is equally important from an animal welfare perspective. The process of freshwater bathing...

Controlled advance of out of season Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) brood stock spawning through manipulation of environmental cues using RAS technology (Huon Aquaculture Company)

Tasmania’s available areas of sheltered Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) marine lease space are highly utilised with collaborative research recommending greater utilisation of onshore recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) combined with expansion into offshore areas to produce more...

Aquatic Animal Health and Biosecurity Subprogram: Disinfection measures to support biosecurity for infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) at aquaculture facilities

Megalocytiviruses are a group of closely related viruses that cause mass mortalities in both marine and freshwater aquaculture. They are of global importance as they are listed by the World Animal Health Organization (OIE). They are difficult to control as they infect over 125 fish species and...

Aquafin CRC - Atlantic Salmon Aquaculture Subprogram: commercial AGD and salmon health project

Prior to this project there had been investigations into some potential candidate amoebicides, with little success except for the possibility of oxidative disinfectants such as chloramine-T. This project has since tested a number of amoebicides using a progressive approach of in vitro...

Aquafin CRC - Atlantic Salmon Aquaculture Subprogram: use of immunomodulation to improve fish performance in Australian temperate water finfish aquaculture

Before this project our knowledge of immune response in Amoebic Gill Disease (AGD) was fundamentally limited and more information was required to assess the potential for immunomodulators in the management of AGD. We confirmed that injection of bacterial DNA motif (CpG oligonucleotides) six...
