Information on spawning and larval recruitment processes of commercially important species in coastal waters in south-eastern Australian waters is provided based on four daytime surveys carried out on board the RV Franklin during the summer of 1997 (January-February and December) and the winter of...
In order to provide for future growth of the Australian prawn aquaculture industry, there is a need to take a longer-term strategic view and develop production technology for alternative species that can support an export market but do not have the intense overseas competition of the current major...
The Tasmanian Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) aquaculture industry strives to produce all-female fish, as male Atlantic Salmon are subject to precocious maturation and consequently reduced flesh quality and increased disease susceptibility when reared in high water temperatures. Several fish species,...
The aim of this study was to review existing Barramundi-related genetic knowledge to identify relevant research and where the R&D gaps preventing instigation of Barramundi breeding programs presently exist. They identified and prioritised the research and steps that need to be taken to establish...
This report details a collaborative "proof of concept" project undertaken to investigate the opportunity to reinvigorate the triploid Pacific oyster farming industry in NSW estuaries affected by Pacific Oyster Mortality Syndrome (POMS). The participating organisations were Australian Seafood...
This project focussed on increasing genetic resistance of Select Oyster Company (SOCo) breeding program Sydney rock oyster (Saccostrea glomerata, SRO) families to QX disease and winter mortality (WM) disease. NSW DPI has worked collaboratively with SOCo to develop a SRO family-based breeding program...
