The need for further information to assist with the response to OsHV-1 is universally acknowledged by the aquaculture industry broadly, government agencies charged with biosecurity and aquatic animal health scientists in Australia and internationally.
Access to a standardised, reproducible and transferable laboratory infection model is critical to ongoing research efforts. Such a model provides a precise method of testing the effect of factors which are suspected to influence the outcome of an infectious challenge with OsHV-1 on Pacific oysters. The most promising factor for enabling continuation of Pacific oyster production despite the threat of OsHV-1 infection is the identification of genetic variation in susceptibility to POMS. The demand for efficient progress in selective breeding programmes requires a laboratory infection model which is suitable for screening large numbers of candidate families and provides results which can be reliably interpreted.
1. Production and long-term storage of large quantities of a standard OsHV-1 inoculum
2. Evaluation of methods to provide a standard, measured OsHV-1 infection challenge
3. Definition of the outcomes of infectious challenge including mortality, development of histopathological lesions and quantities of OsHV-1 present in tissues
4. Determination of the dose-response under standardised challenge conditions, including variation due to the age of the oysters
5. Determination of the repeatability, reproducibility and transferability of the standard infection challenge
6. Assessment of the susceptibility of flat oysters (spat and adult) to OsHV-1 infection.

SPECIES
The Pacific oyster virus (Ostreid Herpesvirus-1, OsHV-1) is a pathogen that has been regularly detected in France since 1991. The virus has generally been associated with Pacific oyster larval mortality in hatcheries and in Pacific oyster spat mortality outbreaks.
The recent incursion of the highly pathogenic OHsV-1 micro variant into New Zealand and NSW waters, leading to 80-100% mortality in weeks, has raised the very real prospect of this deadly oyster virus spreading to other Pacific oyster growing states.
This virus, if spread unchecked in Australia, has the potential to destroy the Pacific oyster aquaculture industry, which is currently worth about $65million in farm gate sales in SA, Tas and NSW.
There is an urgent need to collate and disseminate information regarding the source, transmission, pathogenicity, control and mitigation of this virus and its effects on farmed Pacific oysters.
This project has been developed to provide a considered response to that need.
1. A desktop study on industry relevant issues associated with OsHV1 and the related Pacific Oyster Mortality Syndrome (POMS)
2. A field visit by a small group to France to engage their industry and to discuss first hand industry experience regarding the effects and management of OsHV1
3. The development and extension of a national strategy to control and/or minimise the spread of OsHV1 in Australia and to develop management strategies to mitigate the effects of the disease in areas in which is, or may become, established

Practicing aquatic animal welfare: Identifying and mitigating obstacles to uptake and adoption by the Australian Fishing Industry
This FRDC funded research focuses on the obstacles to, and drivers of, positive practice change relating to aquatic animal welfare (AAW) in Australia’s wild-catch commercial fishing and finfish aquaculture sectors. It was conducted between December 2019 and March 2022 in response to...
