SCRC: Marketing strategies for profitable growth in China, Harvard University, Shanghai (Applicant: Nathan Maxwell-McGinn, Craig Mostyn Group)

The market in China is changing rapidly with centres of growth moving away from the traditional coastal areas. At the same time, Australia’s lobster and abalone industries are facing competitive pressures from new sources of “live” seafood. Adding to this the recent push for better...

Need

1. The South Australian Government has clearly defined that the development of aquaculture, in particular finfish farming, is a high priority outcome. To ensure this happens it has identified outputs of defined specification to address the delivery of this outcome. This will be an ongoing program over many years that requires a novel program structure as opposed to the normal project structure undertaken by FRDC and PIRSA. The project will address this need by:
1.1 Providing the opportunity to improve the current level of management adoption of research within South Australia. This is consistent with the FRDC’s recent call for management to have a greater influence on the direction of research and development and an increased role in the management, adoption and execution of research and development;
1.2 Providing a framework for better management of State funds in the context of research and development and management to ensure timely delivery of results; and
1.3 Providing greater certainty in planning research and development in the future as it gives a quantifiable investment that will be put into a specific program. This means there is an obligation by all parties to ensure that they meet their financial commitment.

Objectives

1. It is proposed that PIRSA and FRDC develop a partnership for the development of the aquaculture industry in South Australia with particular regard to finfish farming. This partnership will develop research and development critical to the ongoing regulation and development of this industry.
2. The partnership will develop the following outputs:·To establish a strategic policy and legislative framework based on the principles of ecologically sustainable development to build, manage and protect South Australia’s aquaculture resources.·To develop a decision support system for aquaculture integrating information from a variety of sources with objective qualitative and quantitative decision criteria and risk considerations to improve the clarity, transparency and certainty of tactical and strategic decision-making by regulators.·To improve aquaculture allocation decisions and management responses by developing risk-based spatial impact and carrying capacity models to increase understanding of the broad scale impacts associated with aquaculture.·To develop and adopt incentive instruments that are outcome focused and effectively integrate economic, social and environmental considerations to deliver better regulatory outcomes, reduced costs and greater innovation.·To develop appropriate decision criteria based on a widely accessible information management system, assessing population dynamics of sea lion colonies in proximity to aquaculture developments and developing better practice models for managing interactions between marine animals and aquaculture to ensure regulators and industry have the capacity to effectively manage interactions between marine animals and aquaculture.·To develop appropriate sustainability indicators, undertake an audit the sustainability of the industry and publish a State of the Aquaculture Industry Report to provide a transparent snapshot of the sustainability of South Australia’s aquaculture industry.·To develop techniques, knowledge and policies to ensure the effective management of parasites of yellowtail kingfish and interactions between farmed and wild populations to ensure the long-term sustainability of the yellowtail kingfish aquaculture sector.
3. Notwithstanding these known outputs it is intended that the needs of managers and the industry will be refined in real time. The purpose of this structure is to ensure that investment in other areas of research and development occurs in a structured manner that meets these needs.

Establishing the viability of a longline southern bluefin tuna operation based in Tasmania and establishing a quality control mechanism for the Australian longline industry

This report was trying to establish, with one of the Japanese Companies who are longline fishing south of Tasmania, a contact so that in the future we can establish a radio contact and exchange fishing information so we can fish the same areas. Since the beginning of the FIRTA GRANT we have...

Need

At a time when increasing pressure is being brought to bear on the State's fisheries resources there is an urgent requirement for a coordinated, long term Strategy, to enable more efficient planning and conduct of practical fisheries research which will underpin further sustainable development of the fisheries Industry.

Maximum benefit must be extracted both from the finite amount of funding available for fisheries research and, from the considerable effort which is applied by research providers. To achieve this it is essential that appropriate research priorities are targetted transparently, and research programs are continuous and consistent in addressing those priorities.

A clearly stated and widely disseminated long term plan compiled with input from all stakeholders in the fisheries resource is an overdue requirement to effectively focus funds and effort on the common goal.

Objectives

1. To develop a long term research strategy which will clearly indicate consistent research priorities into the future.
2. To encourage greater consultation between industry, managers, and research providers during the identification and conduct of priority research projects.
