Growing a profitable, innovative, collaborative Australian Yellowtail Kingfish aquaculture industry: bringing ‘white’ fish to the market. WA Component

This set of experiments compared the growth performance, survival and health of yellowtail kingfish (YTK) sourced from two different hatcheries (Strain 1 and Strain 2) fed on various diets over a commercially relevant time period of 56 weeks (ca. 13 months). Fish health was assessed routinely...

Atlantic Salmon Aquaculture Subprogram: molecular genetic tools for the Tasmanian Atlantic salmon industry – development and application

Archived DNA was successfully extracted from 30-year-old dried scales collected in 1971 and 1972 from wild Atlantic salmon from the River Philip, Canada. Genetic variation was assessed at 11 nuclear DNA microsatellite loci (three tetra- and eight di-nucleotide repeats) in two samples from the River...
