Need

Disease and fish health management underpin maximizing growth and mortality of pearl sector. Given the recent Pearl oyster disease their is a need to build our knowledge and capacity in this area.

There are three main needs for this project:
1. Build the capacity of industry in undertaking disease surveilanace and management.
2. Build the capacity of national pearl oyster disease pathologists in diagnosis, survelliance and emergency reponse; and
3. Build the capacity of Pearl oyster pathology labs molecular and histopatholgy diagnostic capability, though establishment of collabourative national and international research links.

Objectives

1. Build industry's capacity and participation in disease surveillance and management.
2. Build Australia pearl oyster disease diagnosis and management capacity.
3. Foster international collaborative research efforts in Pearl oyster diseases.
4. To capture the understanding of disease processes and management issues that affect pearl oysters in the Indo-Pacific region.
5. To improve understanding of disease, sustainability, biodiversity and biosecurity issues that affect the pearl oyster aquaculture industries in these regions.
6. Build online knowledge network for pearl oyster diseases.
7. Extend the workshop outcomes and evaluate its impact
