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: SCRC Honours Scholarship H3.1– Impact of commercial hatchery practices on the contribution of broodstock to offspring and genetic diversity in the Yellowtail Kingfish breeding program (Dr Alex Safari: Student Daniel Tan)

Using small numbers of broodstock for breeding often leads to random drift in gene frequencies between generations. Effective population size (Ne) is used as an indicator to assess the rate of inbreeding and loss of genetic variation in small populations. In this study we used six microsatellites,...

Future oysters CRC-P: Enhancing Pacific Oyster breeding to optimise national benefits

The research was conducted as a direct consequence of the 2016 Pacific Oyster Mortality Syndrome (POMS) outbreak TAS which decimated parts of this State’s Pacific Oyster (Crassostrea gigas) industry and caused numerous flow on effects throughout the entire Australian industry. The project was...

High quality eggs and nauplii for the Australian prawn industry.

Prawn farming is the most valuable aquaculture sector in Queensland and is a priority development industry for the State Government. Marine prawns have provided the major growth in this industry with a value of $37 million in 2000/01, or over 66% of the value of Queensland aquaculture. Nevertheless...

Seafood CRC: increasing seedstock production of domesticated giant tiger prawns (Penaeus monodon) through improved male fertility

Given the rationale that pond systems are likely the most cost-effective system for large-scale production of Giant Tiger Prawn (Penaeus monodon) broodstock, this project aimed to determine whether pond-rearing poses a significant risk for broodstock production. The gross reproductive development of...

Seafood CRC: development of barramundi selective breeding entity II

In summary, we have made significant progress towards the establishment of the selective breeding program for barramundi by: Registering a company for selective breeding of barramundi (Barratek) and producing a genetic business plan and lobbying document. Identifying and characterising...

DNA microsatellite variation in Atlantic salmon

The aquaculture of Atlantic salmon began in Australia in the mid-1960' s with an importation of ova from Canada to New South Wales. Anecdotal evidence suggested that the Australian population went through a severe bottleneck event during the early years due to poor survival and subsequent small...

Summary

The Western Australian Pearling Industry is totally reliant on
quotas of wild stock silver- or goldlip pearl oysters,
Pinctada maxima. Any sustainable expansion of the Industry is
unlikely to occur unless hatchery-propagated oysters become
available as an alternative source to wild stock. This
project sought to establish the broodstock, larval and nursery
phases of culture of P. maxima for the purpose of mass
production of spat.
