Summary

The Western rock lobster fishery is a valuable resource in Australia, but it is important to manage it sustainably. One way to do this is to understand the population dynamics, including the age of the lobsters. Traditional methods of measuring age, such as body size, are noy very reliable, so researchers have been exploring alternative approaches. One promising method involves measuring the concentration of a fluorescent liquid called lipofuscin in the nervous tissue of the lobster. The researchers collected samples of lobsters and measured their lipofuscin concentration to determine their age. They found that this method was more accurate than the traditional size-based method and could help with managing the fishery. The researchers plan to conduct further studies to validate the results and find a more efficient method to measure lipofuscin concentration.

SCRC: RTG: Laboratory visit to be trained to analyse oyster (Sydney Rock Oysters) histology sections, Elizabeth Macarthur Agricultural Institute, NSW

While histology and its meaningful analysis are important skills to possess, most histological work conducted at the University of the Sunshine Coast heavily focuses on human histology, with some vertebrate histology, whereas knowledge about the analysis of oyster histology slides is lacking. This...

ARDC: Food Security Data Challenges: Increasing food security through liberation of fishing and aquaculture data

Need

The development of digital and data systems (DSS) across fisheries & aquaculture, as well as the agriculture sector more broadly is disparate. How data is collected, how it is stored, and how it can subsequently be used is greatly influenced by factors such as sector digital maturity, or available funding to develop (or upgrade) DSS.

This project seeks to develop a national fisheries and aquaculture data ingestion and storage system (Activity 1), ensuring that information derived from fisheries and aquaculture activities is findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR).
The ingestion and storage system will be bolstered by a complementary data catalogue (detailing the data sets available on the platform) (Activity 2) and analytical tools (able to gain insights without moving data outside the storage platform) (Activity 6).
The platform will be underpinned by metadata (Activity 3) and a robust governance framework (Activity 4). Use of the system will be tested through 3 case studies, supporting capacity and capability improvement of the sector (Activity 5).

The production of and use of data cuts across industry and government, and covers activities throughout the fisheries supply chain (from pre-fishing quota management, to post-fishing processing and subsequent traceability). Consequently there is no one organisation across fishing and aquaculture that is best placed to co-ordinate and trial this technology. FRDC is capable to the leadership required to ensure a fit for purpose product for end users, additionally the leverage of Australia Research Data Commons investment will contribute to the development of a nationally coherent eResearch infrastructure

This project received investment from the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC). The ARDC is funded by the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS).

Objectives

1. Develop a new cloud-based fisheries data storage platform to enable ingestion, management, and sharing of datasets
2. Develop a CKAN-based data catalogue, a searchable fisheries data source allowing users to browse, combine, share, and access exchangeable data assets
3. Create best practice metadata standards that will be identified, documented, and then operationalised through the data catalogue and storage platform
4. Develop and operationalise a fisheries-focused data governance framework
5. Enhance capacity and capacity to use the platform through demonstration of 3 unique case studies
6. Develop use-case relevant suite of reporting and analysis tools to allow researchers to gain insights without moving data outside the storage platform
