The need for improved resource security was articulated at the SIA Tipping Point meeting held in Fremantle in February 2019. This event was attended by seafood industry representatives from across Australia. The absence of secure access to resources, both aquatic and terrestrial, is a major threat and looming impediment to the growth and prosperity of the Australian seafood industry. This is not a new problem, but despite debate, discussion, lobbying and advocacy for more than 2 decades, it remains an existential threat to the Australian seafood industry.
Improving security is critical to providing an environment that encourages innovation and the confidence to invest and work in our industry.
Lack of certainty of access to biological and environmental resources has significant ramifications for the mental health of our people, and negatively impacts access to business opportunities and other critical business resources including finance and staff. Flow on effects from continued resource access restrictions also affect our post-harvest businesses, freight companies and local communities across Australia.
The threats to access and resource security are varied, including:
• sharing resources with, and impacts of, other marine and terrestrial users including recreational fishers, indigenous title claims, petroleum industry,
• changes to / lack of clarity surrounding government policy and legislation,
• use of Ministerial discretionary powers, as demonstrated by the Western Australian Government intervention in the WRL fishery quota and dramatic increases of pearling lease fees,
• water quality requirements associated with aquaculture operations,
• uncertainty results in risk in financing of commercial fishing operations,
• access limitations restrict growth of jobs in the aquaculture, wild and post-harvest sectors,
• changing community perceptions
• eNGO activism such as in the small pelagic fishery, quota purchases, alternate definition of sustainability and targeting particular fishing methods,
• restriction of access through increasing reserves including Marine Parks and threats of more restrictive management plans, and
• changing environmental conditions.

1. To establish baseline data on chemical and physical characteristics of commercial feeds used by the Tasmanian Atlantic salmon industry
2. To establish baseline data on carcass composition of locally farmed Atlantic salmon
3. To determine the digestibility of current and potential feed ingredients for Tasmanian Atlantic salmon
4. To determine optimum protein to energy ratios for growth and food conversion for Tasmanian Atlantic salmonat different stages of the production cycle
5. To determine the effect of feed formulation and feeding regime on Tasmanian Atlantic salmon carcass composition

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.
