Need

Seawater temperatures continue to rise in Tasmania, resulting in the window of suitable temperatures for smolt transfer to sea shortening. Atlantic salmon production in Tasmania requires the production of harvestable product all year round, which is currently achieved through detailed production plans that rely on smolt transfer to sea from March until October each year.
As climate change is resulting in warmer temperatures during March, there is a need to understand the risks to production that this shift poses, as well as understanding the additional costs to production that warm water inputs create. This trial is needed to inform commercial decisions around smolt input timing in warm years, and to examine the influence of oxygenation on osmoregulatory performance during warm water transfer.

Objectives

1. Examine the relationship between duration at elevated temperatures on input, and the impact on osmoregulatory ability and fish performance.
2. Does increased oxygenation improve the osmoregulatory and fish performance of smolt transferred into warm waters
3. Do the benefits observed in tank trials translate to the commercial environment

Storm Bay Observing System: Assessing the Performance of Aquaculture Development

In Tasmania, farming of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L) has developed rapidly since the first trials in 1985 and has grown progressively to the current 60,000 tonnes produced in 2020.. Salmon farming in open sea cages produces organic and inorganic wastes which have the potential to impact the...

Sex reversal and sex differentiation in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)

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,...

Development of a hydrodynamic model to investigate near field and regional connectivity around Okehampton Bay

The study aims to satisfy the regulatory requirements of Environmental Licence 10172/2 from the Tasmanian EPA around Tassal’s use of Okehampton Bay for salmonoid aquaculture, particularly the possible fate of material released within Okehampton Bay into the receiving environment. To...

Controlled advance of out of season Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) brood stock spawning through manipulation of environmental cues using RAS technology (Huon Aquaculture Company)

Tasmania’s available areas of sheltered Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) marine lease space are highly utilised with collaborative research recommending greater utilisation of onshore recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) combined with expansion into offshore areas to produce more...
