Summary

Dr Jennifer Cobcroft and Assoc Prof Stephen Battaglene were invited to visit the aquaculture research laboratories of the University of Patras, Greece and collaborating research and commercial marine fish hatcheries in Greece (1-4 Sept 09). The visit enabled the development of an existing relationship with Assoc Prof Giorgos Koumoundouros, international expert in malformations in marine fish and helped to build research linkages between Australia, Greece and the broader European hatchery research community.

The laboratory and hatchery visits in Greece coincided with Larvi 09, 5th Fish and Shellfish Larviculture Symposium, the premier international event specialising in larval rearing research, the FineFish Final Workshop and a LARVANET workshop. In Greece, Assoc Prof Koumoundouros hosted a visit to the Laboratory of Zoology, University of Patras, where he demonstrated methods used by his team for assessment of fish samples for skeletal malformations and body shape. The methods used have direct applicability in the rapid processing and thorough classification of fish samples for quality assessment in Australian hatcheries.

Molluscan Fisheries and Aquaculture, World Congress of Malacology,Perth 2004

Need

There is a wide diversity of wild caught fisheries and aquacultural activities dealing with molluscs, including (but not limited to) wild caught scallops, squid, octopus, abalone, and aquaculture industries for pearl and edible oysters, abalone, mussels, etc. Researchers tend to talk to other researchers in their individual industries. The World Congress presents an outstanding opportunity for researchers working on molluscan fisheries and aquaculture to interact closely with each other and also with other researchers from throughout the world who work on numerous aspects of molluscan biology. For example, a symposium is planned larval development of molluscs, which has implications for researchers on molluscan aquaculture. Attendance of scientists working on other aspects of molluscs will provide a fertile ground for input from high quality researchers into molluscan fisheries and aquaculture.

Objectives

1. To bring together 15 leading fisheries and aquacultural scientists working on molluscs to present papers reporting the latest research in their fields.
2. To encourage participation of other scientists who will not be funded.
3. To provide opportunities for discussions of the latest research in the various fields of molluscan fisheries and aquaculture, and to provide opportunities for full discussion of ideas across fields.
4. To publish selected papers in a format which can be widely distributed.
5. To improve research strategies and applied outcomes for molluscan fisheries and aquaculture industries.

Summary

The World Congress of Malacology was held at The University of Western Australia from 11 to 16 July 2004. Overall the congress was a huge success with over 300 delegates and 25 accompanying people from over 40 countries.

The FRDC sponsored symposium on Molluscan Fisheries and Aquaculture was one of the strengths of the congress. The original plan was to have the entire symposium on Tuesday with about 15 participants. However, there were so many papers that the sessions were resumed on Thursday and went until lunch time. In all there were 38 papers presented:  27 were oral and there were 11 posters. Registrants for this symposium came from all Australian States. Additionally, presenters came from the following countries: China, Denmark, France, Korea, Japan, Portugal, United Kingdom and United States. Dr Sandra Shumway of the University of Connecticut and editor of the Journal of Shellfish Research was the plenary speaker for the session.

13 papers have been published in the Journal of Shellfish Research.

Keywords: Molluscs, aquaculture, fisheries.

Need

The ASFB, through our annual conference and network of members has a forum for exchange of information. For our 2015 conference we are proposing to support the attendance of Paul Lumley the Executive Director of the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission (CRITFC) as a keynote speaker and organise some targeted workshops prior to the conference in Darwin (lead by NT Fisheries, Bo Carne and Charles Darwin University, Alison King) and Mildura (lead by Murray-Darling Freshwater Research Centre, Lee Baumgartner & Deb Bogenhuber).

Mr Lumley has been selected as our preferred keynote based on his extensive history working with Northwest US tribes on salmon issues, particularly in the Columbia River Basin. He previously spent 17 years with CRITFC working on biological issues associated with power stations, and has also assisted in fund raising and establishing a grant program for the four Columbia River treaty tribes. Mr Lumley has indicated availability and a preliminary commitment to attend and undertake proposed workshops and present Keynote.

ASFB has a commitment to increase engagement between ASFB members and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, within the scope of the society. We recognise that to support this involves improving opportunities for Indigenous people to engage in research, fisheries management and compliance and other commercial activities. There is a great deal of interest in the ability to develop and start new commercial initiatives that maintain ongoing Indigenous interests and concerns in the fisheries management and industry and environmental rehabilitation. Australian Indigenous experience in commercial fisheries has gained momentum, and many of our members have expressed an interest in learning from International First Nations and Indigenous peoples experience.

We have in principal support for this activity through Indigenous agencies and advisory groups, including the Fisheries Research and Development Corporations Indigenous Reference Group, Northern Territory Department of Primary Industry and Fisheries, the New South Wales Aboriginal Land Council, the Murray Lower Darling Indigenous Nations.

Objectives

1. Support shared exchange of knowledge between the experiences of the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission (CRITFC) in First Nations people involvement in Stock Enhancement and Species Restoration and Australian Indigenous communities through two targeted workshops in Darwin and Mildura.
2. Support further communication of CRITFC experiences in First Nation Peoples involvement through keynote presentation at the 2015 Australian Society for Fish Biology Conference is being held at UTS in Sydney on 11-14 October. This year it is being held in conjunction with the 5th International Symposium on Stock Enhancement and Sea Ranching. Topic 'Using indigenous fishing rights to stimulate restoration of fish populations: A case study of salmon populations in the Columbia River Basin'
