SCRC: Development of germ cell transplantation technology for the Australian aquaculture industry

The project was designed to explore the application of surrogate technology as an alternative broodstock system for the Southern Bluefin Tuna (SBT). Surrogate technology, also known as germ cell transplantation, uses germ cells from a donor species, in this case SBT, and transplants them into a host...

Seafood CRC: PhD: Molecular and quantitative genetics studies to improve breeding programs for key Australian aquaculture species

Fat or oil content in fish is an economically important trait as it is one of the primary determinants of flesh quality and consumer perception of the end-product. The market value of a carcass or fillets, particularly of large species such as kingfish and tuna, can be strongly influenced by the...

SCRC: SCRC Honours Scholarship H4.1 Sustaining Australia’s aquaculture competitiveness by developing technological advances in genetics: Discovery of functional genes for commercial traits.(Abigail Elizur; Student Nicole Ertl)

Body colouration, an important survival, mate selection and communication mechanism for animals in the wild, has also significant commercial implications. In aquaculture, a darker body colour in prawns can increase farm profitability by AU$ 2-4 dollar per kilo of prawns. Therefore, there is a strong...

SCRC: Yellowtail Kingfish genetics: commercialisation strategies

Previously, we have implemented a selective breeding program for Yellowtail Kingfish (YTK) and today all production is based on genetically selected stock, which is up to 20% superior than the wild stock. This current project focuses on whether realized selection response was achieved and adds: ...
