Summary

Most marine and freshwater fishes depend on plankton for food during a period shortly after birth until they are large enough to switch to other prey. At the Inland Fisheries Research Station, Narrandera (NIFRS), native fish are spawned and the larvae transferred to rearing ponds for approximately six weeks before the fingerlings are harvested. These ponds are managed to promote growth of the appropriate zooplankton so that the larvae can feed and grow.

Four larval rearing ponds were studied from when they were filled in early November 1986 until just before harvesting in late December 1984.

Summary

The central aims of this project were to identify major practical constraints to the development of a commercially viable barramundi hatchery and farming enterprise in Northern Australia and to demonstrate that hatchery rearing of barramundi constituted a feasible alternative to the importation of exotic species, especially nile perch (Lates niloticus) as a means of improving freshwater angling in Queensland.

In October 1985 'Sea Hatcheries' was incorporated as a public company in preparation for the establishment of a commercial marine hatchery and barramundi farming venture. In the same month the Queensland Government formally announced the suspension of its nile perch project.

Summary

The Western Australian Research Laboratories began investigating the feasibility of artificially propagating the silverlip or goldlip pearl oyster, Pinctada maxima, (Jameson) in 1982 and culminated its study by operating a pilot ­scale, seasonal hatchery at the Broome Jetty, Broome, Western Australia from 1986 to 1989. This manual describes the hatchery facilities and husbandry techniques developed during this period for the spawning and culture of the larvae and newly settled spat.

Growth of pearl oysters in the southern and northern areas of the pearl oyster fishery and examination of environmental influences on recruitment to the pearl oyster stock

The pearling industry is Australia’s most valuable aquaculture industry, generating approximately $187 million in 1997 (source: ABARE 1997). The oysters used to culture pearls are derived almost entirely from wild stock shell, rather than hatchery produced stock as occurs in other major...
