Need

Statistics is an indispensable tool in modern research. All involved in research and development require some grounding in statistics, whether it be to design and implement a research program and analyse the results, or to properly evaluate the published results of others, or to assess the promise of a proposal put forward for funding.

Fisheries management is grounded in science, and good science requires an underpinning of sound experimental design, sampling and statistical analysis. There is a need to increase the base level of competency in statistics at the workplace and for all levels of people involved particularly in the developing countries, and in so doing, provide support for the research effort that underpins the management of our fisheries resources.

Objectives

1. To develop a graduate certificate course in environmental statistics specifically targeted at fisheries and aquaculture and to deliver it to individuals in their current working environment by delivering the course online.

Summary

This study investigated the distribution of the expression of selected members of the peroxiredoxin (Prx) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) antioxidant enzyme families in YTK (Seriola lalandi), an important finfish aquaculture species in South Australia.

The purpose of investigating the expression of these enzymes was to determine if they played a role in male fertility in fish, as both these families play a role in male fertility in mammals and individual members of these protein families were shown to be highly conserved between mammals and fish.
