Feasibility study to evaluate non-lethal measurements of health of farmed tuna using biochemical methods and surrogate species

Project number: 1995-082
Project Status:
Completed
Budget expenditure: $77,672.00
Principal Investigator: Kathleen Soole
Organisation: Flinders University
Project start/end date: 25 Oct 1995 - 30 Aug 2002

Objectives

1. To compare biochemical methods of assessing the effects of pollutant stress in tuna with methods currently used. New methods include measurement of adenylates and ATPase in fish tissue samples.
2. To evaluate methods of sampling fish or fish tissues from pens which will reduce stress and improve the probability of recovery of sampled fish which are returned to the pens. This part of the project will be closely co-ordinated with workers evaluating current sampling practices.
3. To evaluate the use of the biochemical responses of other species (e.g. tommy ruff, blue mussels) which cohabit with tuna in farm pens as surrogate indicators of pollutant stress experienced by tuna.

Improved risk management of paralytic shellfish toxins in Southern Rock Lobster

To examine toxicokinetics of PST in Southern Rock Lobster, an experimental study was undertaken in a biosecure aquaculture facility in South Australia. Adult male lobsters were fed highly toxic mussels (6 mg STX.2HCl equiv. kg−1) sourced from the Tasmanian east coast for 4...

Seafood CRC: a guide for use by the shark and other fisheries for preparation of information for consumers.

This project aimed to develop ‘how to’ guide for small to medium businesses to assist in navigating the Food Standards Code as well as a simple promotional brochure framework, using Augusta Wild Caught Fisheries to illustrate how it could be used in practice. This guide aims to help...
