Water use across a catchment and effects on estuarine health and productivity

This research has shown that the profitability of both agriculture on land and aquaculture in the estuary is affected by changing freshwater flows. To assess the value of water to different users across a catchment we developed a generic water accounting framework and populated it with available...

Oysters Australia IPA: Pacific Oyster Mortality Syndrome (POMS) – closing knowledge gaps to continue farming C. gigas in Australia

The present project is part of a continued program of epidemiologic investigations of OsHV-1 in Australia. Sufficient understanding of POMS is required to provide information for farmers and to direct policy so that profitable farming can continue despite increasing distribution and devastating...

Development of techniques for quantification of stress-induced catecholamine changes in the hemolymph of the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas)

As a result of the development of a protocol for oyster blood sample collection, preservation and transportation and subsequent catecholamine analysis during the course of this project, a test now exists which can be used to measure stress in oysters. This test will be used in the...

Identification of natural mudworm species in South Australian Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) stocks

Under a joint arrangement between Seafood Services Australia (SSA) and the South Australian Oyster Research Council (SAORC), a project was developed to investigate mudworm in South Australia. A minor mudworm survey was carried out in which between one and three dozen oysters from seven different...

Improving early detection surveillance and emergency disease response to Pacific Oyster Mortality Syndrome (POMS) using a hydrodynamic model for dispersion of OsHV-1

Rapid predictive capability of viral spread through water during an aquatic disease outbreak is an epidemiologist’s dream, and up until now has not been achievable. A biophysical particle tracking model for Ostreid herpesvirus 1 microvariant (OsHV-1) that causes POMS was developed to determine...
