A supply chain assessment of marine vibrios in oysters: prevalence, quantification and public health risk.

Introduction Vibrio parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus are marine vibrios that are increasingly associated with disease caused by ingestion of raw, contaminated shellfish harvested from warmer waters (>20°C) (Potasman etal 2003, Clinical Infectious Disease 35:921-928).

Fish stocking programs - assessing the benefits against potential long term genetic and ecological impacts

In Australia, fish stocking activities have resulted in the creation of valuable new ‘put and take’ fisheries as well as enhancing existing wild fisheries (Rowland et al. 1983;Cadwallader & Kerby 1995; Rowland 1995; Holloway & Hamlyn 1998; Ingram et al. 2004). As a result, stocking activities have...

Age validation of deepwater flathead from the Great Australian Bight Trawl Fishery

The Central Ageing Facility has been contracted over the past 10 years by AFMA to provide age estimates for deepwater flathead for use in the stock assessment models. The process of accurate and repeatable age estimation (particularly within younger year classes) is complicated by the temporal...

Aquatic Animal Health Subprogram: development of diagnostic tests to assess the impact of Haplosporidium infections in pearl oysters

Haplosporidium infect several invertebrate groups including a number of bivalves but infection generally does not result in mortality. However, two exotic species, Haplosporidium nelsoni and H. costale are associated with significant mortality. Both of these organisms are notifiable with the Office...

The Tasmanian Freshwater Eel Industry - an industry development and directions plan

The Tasmanian freshwater eel industry captures short- and long-finned eels (Anguilla australis and A. reinhardtii) from rivers and freshwater impoundments by predominantly fyke nets. Generally over 95% of the harvest is short-finned eel. The fish are held for a period in holding tanks before being...
