The proposed research project was set up to establish DNA-based molecular DNA assays for the DNA fingerprinting (i.e. profiling) of abalone. This would provide tools for examining populations differences at a molecular genetic level.
This project has resulted in the production of a bank of quality-assured, non-infectious, quantifiable, molecular test controls that can be provided to any diagnostic laboratory in a ready-to-use form to assist them with the implementation of specific aquatic animal disease diagnostic tests. In...
The goal of this project was to investigate the cause of oyster oedema disease (OOD) in Australian pearl oysters so that diagnostic tests and management practices for the disease can be developed. OOD has been associated with mortalities in some pearl oyster farming areas. However, the cause of...
