Summary

The objective of this research travel grant was to develop Australian Seafood CRC PhD student Shan He's professional knowledge of transferring laboratory-scale results to a pre-commercial food model for industry benefit, and also build his professional skills and industry experience.

After one and half year's research, Shan He has achieved outstanding scientific outcomes. However, these results have not been applied to an industrial application because of the limitations of the biotechnology laboratory at Flinders University in formulating food products, and in the knowledge of the industry partner's food process and formulas. This research travel grant supported Shan to apply these results to commercial food formulations in a one month industry visit to Simplot Australia, the project's industry partner. The trial activity and industry interaction will train Shan He to be an industry-ready PhD graduate in the near future, so as to be able to better serve the Australia seafood industry.

Shan He was able to conduct experiments talk to managers of different divisions in Simplot Australia related to science, such as the New Products Process & Portfolio Manager, Science & Technology Manager, Group R&D Manager etc. Through these talks Shan He was familiarised with a key decision making system of Simplot Australia called the Stage Gate System. The information that Shan He gained from the communications developed his understanding of the role of science and technology in industry. The outcomes of this project assisted in developing Shan He's professional knowledge of transferring laboratory-scale results to industry products, built his professional skills and industry experience, and thus successfully prepared him to be an industry-ready PhD graduate in the near future.

Summary

The author attended a PhD training course which provided an introduction to a wide suite of biochemical methods that can be used to assess post-mortem changes in fish. The information gathered will be useful across a range of projects in the Australian Seafood CRC (AS CRC). A number of subsidiary visits were also undertaken to build international collaboration. The author visited the Grimsby Institute and was given an introduction to the Cells Alive System (CAS) which is a novel freezing technique believed to be superior to standard fast freezing systems.

The author also visited Campden BRI and discussed their high pressure processing work and with the Centre for Environment, Fisheries & Aquaculture Science (CEFAS) who are playing an important role in the development of European methods for the detection of marine vibrios. CEFAS has kindly offered an extensive bank of Vibrio strains for use in future AS CRC work. The author has identified and discussed the potential for collaborative links with each of the institutes that were part of the subsidiary visits.

Trial of the use of new age-pigment-based methods for age determination of western rock lobster (Panulirus cygnus)

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...

Summary

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 grant allowed the student to visit the Elizabeth Macarthur Agricultural Institute (EMAI) in NSW to learn the skills needed to histologically analyse oyster tissue.

Need

The CRC is all about capacity building within the CRC participants and the FRDC Seafood Leadership Program enables the opportunity to invest in people who are keen to show their leadership potential.

Investing in leadership, and the associated networks and cross stakeholder understanding is seen as vitally important for all sectors to be able to contribute to debate, drive change and address challenges in order to enable the Seafood CRC and the industry to reach its potential.

This need also came as a critical skill set in the CRC's Training and Needs Analysis undertaken in 2008.
