SCRC: Yellowtail Kingfish genetics: commercialisation strategies

Previously, we have implemented a selective breeding program for Yellowtail Kingfish (YTK) and today all production is based on genetically selected stock, which is up to 20% superior than the wild stock. This current project focuses on whether realized selection response was achieved and adds: ...

SCRC: SCRC RTG 1.5 – Physiology and aquaculture of pelagic workshop, Panama, Central America (Lindsey Woolley, CRC PhD student, Flinders University)

In South Australia, Clean Seas Tuna Ltd. (CST) is the leading company in Southern Bluefin Tuna (SBT) propagation and they have experienced some success with successful spawning since 2008. However, reliable availability of viable eggs and the larval rearing stages are currently major bottlenecks in...

SCRC: Development of germ cell transplantation technology for the Australian aquaculture industry

The project was designed to explore the application of surrogate technology as an alternative broodstock system for the Southern Bluefin Tuna (SBT). Surrogate technology, also known as germ cell transplantation, uses germ cells from a donor species, in this case SBT, and transplants them into a host...

SCRC: Development of Yellowtail Kingfish aquaculture in Western Australia: Removal of barriers to profitable production.

Sub-Project 1: Genetics DNA analyses were used to develop a mating strategy to avoid inbreeding among the limited number of existing captive broodstock in WA. A genetic management workshop was carried out in with ACAAR and WA Industry and used to inform attendees about basic genetic management...

Identification of a Y-chromosome marker in Atlantic salmon (extension to FRDC 95/80)

The aquaculture of Atlantic salmon began in Australia in the mid-1960' s with an importation of ova from Canada to New South Wales. Anecdotal evidence suggested that the Australian population went through a severe bottleneck event during the early years due to poor survival and subsequent small...

Sustainable genetic improvement of Pacific oysters in Tasmania and South Australia

The Pacific oyster breeding project initiated in FRDC 97/321 was continued. Both mass selection and family selection procedures were employed. The main trait of interest was growth rate, although shell shape and condition index were also recorded. Families were monitored on five farms. Two were...
