Atlantic Salmon Aquaculture Subprogram: UTAS Experimental Aquaculture Facility: Obtaining expert international governance, design and operational advice for the Atlantic salmon partners.

While the Australian salmon and shellfish aquaculture industries have international counterparts, there are specific local issues, notably warmer water temperatures and amoebic gill disease (AGD) requiring specific, local research attention. Given the maturity of the industry, the presence of both a...
