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.

SCRC: SCRC RTG 3.7: PhD workshop on physical and biochemical methods for analysis for fish as food and subsidiary activities (Tom Madigan)

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...

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...

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

Current

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
