Seafood CRC: yellowtail kingfish health workshop and feed analysis

This project addressed the need to further CST's understanding of the disease issues severely impacting YTK production. It also provided an environment to share ideas and peer review CST's approach to dealing with the outlined case history and its proposed remedial strategies and R&D activities....

NEAO: addressing current health issues confronting warm water culture of yellowtail kingfish

This project addressed a number of key issues associated with the culture of yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi, YTK) in warm water, including optimising the use of hydrogen peroxide (which is more toxic in warm water), investigating alternatives to the management of monogenean flukes...

ASBTIA: Optimising the use of praziquantel to manage blood fluke infections in commercially ranched SBT

This report provides a summary of work performed to develop methods to quantify Cardicola forsteri and Cardicola orientalis infections in Southern Bluefin Tuna (SBT) and an in vitro study to determine the efficacy of praziquantel as a treatment for C. forsteri infections. The project was also...

Growing a profitable, innovative, collaborative Australian Yellowtail Kingfish aquaculture industry: bringing ‘white’ fish to the market. WA Component

This set of experiments compared the growth performance, survival and health of yellowtail kingfish (YTK) sourced from two different hatcheries (Strain 1 and Strain 2) fed on various diets over a commercially relevant time period of 56 weeks (ca. 13 months). Fish health was assessed routinely...

Need

An indicator of oxidative/metabolic stress in fish has long been sought after as a means of providing a simple measure of health and as a tool for assessing the outcomes of research trials including those on diet formulations. The FRDC have invested heavily in health & nutrition research, yet a simple, sensitive and cost effective method of assessing health following such trials is still lacking. Most analytical methods such as haematology, blood biochemistry, flow cytometry, histology and bacterial challenges all have limitations in terms of sensitivity, repeatability, cost and simplicity.

Inflamark has potential to be developed into a rapid, point-of-care device that could be used on-farm as well as in research trials. There is a need to validate its usefulness as a diagnostic tool in commercially relevant farmed fish species prior to its development as a routine diagnostic tool.

Objectives

1. Optimise field methods to ensure blood is collected and preserved appropriately for shipment and analysis
2. Determine the range of baseline oxidative stress values for healthy and moribund fish from four species across the full range of sizes and culture temperatures under commercial growout conditions.
3. Obtain data from fish in various FRDC and industry funded research projects investigating health and nutrition.

Summary

This collaborative project between industry and academia was developed in response to the need for a reliable and simple measurement of fish health status in farmed populations as well as in a research context, to assess the outcomes of trials on health, nutrition and environment. We have developed a tool to measure physiological/oxidative stress in aquaculture species.
