Need

Asthma is a common and increasing condition that affects people of all ages and around 2.2 million people in Australia. In children, asthma is the most common chronic illness that causes loss of time from school. The prevalence of asthma has doubled in the past 20 years and now affects 1 in 10 adults and 1 in 4 children. The annual cost of asthma to the health care system is estimated to be at least $720 million, which does not include time lost in absence from work or school. Asthma has now been listed as a National Health Priority Area by the Commonwealth Government and by both the NHMRC and the ARC, which are the major national competitive scientific funding bodies. This listing recognises the large and increasing burden of illness caused by asthma in Australia, as well as the recognised potential to achieve major health gains through improved prevention and treatment strategies for asthma. Research is urgently needed to identify ways to improve asthma control and reduce asthma prevalence.

Our proposed project is in line with the FRDC priorities and R&D plans in that we will promote the benefits of consuming biomolecules contained in fish and shellfish as well as whole foods. The definitive results obtained in the study will significantly reinforce and complement the benefits of eating seafood described in the SSA publication “What’s so healthy about seafood”. In combination with TUNRA and SSA we will actively promote the consumption of these items both in the medical and wider community, which will provide significant new commercial opportunities for the seafood industry.

Objectives

1. To demonstrate conclusively that the consumption components of fish oil and mussels can both prevent and treat against the development of asthma in adults.
2. To demonstrate conclusively that the consumption of whole seafoods can also prevent and treat against the development of asthma in adults.
3. To demonstrate conclusively that the consumption of components of fish oils and mussels and whole seafoods can prevent and treat the development of asthma in infants.

Need

The Australian prawn farmers are under intense competition from cheaper imported prawns. Most of the imported prawns are in the small size segment. Female prawns grow larger then males, therefore the creation of all-female prawn populations will provide a much needed competitive advantage and enable a more profitable farming of P. monodon in Australia.

Objectives

1. Optimise procedure for neo-male creation using androgenic gland implantations and MT treatments.
2. Cross neomales with females to establish viability and fertility of WW prawns
3. Grow WW P. monodon females on farm and research provider facilities to reach sexual maturity.
4. To cross WW P. monodon females with wild males (both on farm and at the research provider facility) and obtain viable all female offspring.
5. To assess the reproductive performance of WW females compared to normal WZ females
6. Assess production performance of all-female offspring compared with mixed population (on farm).

Summary

Australian prawn aquaculture production is based predominantly on P. monodon farming, with larger sized prawns attract premium prices in the local market. Females grow significantly larger than males, and hence, a technology to develop all-female monosex populations would offer competitive advantage at a local as well as international market. The primary objectives of this study were to first produce, and then cross, WW P. monodon females and obtain viable all-female offspring.

Unfortunately, the trials to achieve neo-males resulted only in external signs of masculinisation. Hence, other objectives could not be addressed. Since the project did not meet the agreed go-no go point, it was prematurely terminated. However, suggestions for subsequent studies are given to forward this research into the future.

Summary

Australian prawn aquaculture production is based predominantly on P. monodon farming, with larger sized prawns attract premium prices in the local market. Females grow significantly larger than males, and hence, a technology to develop all-female monosex populations would offer competitive advantage at a local as well as international market. The primary objectives of this study were to first produce, and then cross, WW P. monodon females and obtain viable all-female offspring.

Unfortunately, the trials to achieve neo-males resulted only in external signs of masculinisation. Hence, other objectives could not be addressed. Since the project did not meet the agreed go-no go point, it was prematurely terminated. However, suggestions for subsequent studies are given to forward this research into the future.

Females grow significantly larger than males, and hence, a technology to develop all-female monosex populations would offer competitive advantage at a local as well as international market. The primary objectives of this study were to first produce, and then cross, WW P. monodon females and obtain viable all-female offspring.

Unfortunately, the trials to achieve neo-males resulted only in external signs of masculinisation. Hence, other objectives could not be addressed. Since the project did not meet the agreed go-no go point, it was prematurely terminated. However, suggestions for subsequent studies are given to forward this research into the future.

Unfortunately, the trials to achieve neo-males resulted only in external signs of masculinisation. Hence, other objectives could not be addressed. Since the project did not meet the agreed go-no go point, it was prematurely terminated. However, suggestions for subsequent studies are given to forward this research into the future.

Summary

Australian prawn aquaculture production is based predominantly on P. monodon farming, with larger sized prawns attract premium prices in the local market. Females grow significantly larger than males, and hence, a technology to develop all-female monosex populations would offer competitive advantage at a local as well as international market. The primary objectives of this study were to first produce, and then cross, WW P. monodon females and obtain viable all-female offspring.

Unfortunately, the trials to achieve neo-males resulted only in external signs of masculinisation. Hence, other objectives could not be addressed. Since the project did not meet the agreed go-no go point, it was prematurely terminated. However, suggestions for subsequent studies are given to forward this research into the future.

Summary

Australian prawn aquaculture production is based predominantly on P. monodon farming, with larger sized prawns attract premium prices in the local market. Females grow significantly larger than males, and hence, a technology to develop all-female monosex populations would offer competitive advantage at a local as well as international market. The primary objectives of this study were to first produce, and then cross, WW P. monodon females and obtain viable all-female offspring.

Unfortunately, the trials to achieve neo-males resulted only in external signs of masculinisation. Hence, other objectives could not be addressed. Since the project did not meet the agreed go-no go point, it was prematurely terminated. However, suggestions for subsequent studies are given to forward this research into the future.

Australian prawn aquaculture production is based predominantly on P. monodon farming, with larger sized prawns attract premium prices in the local market. Females grow significantly larger than males, and hence, a technology to develop all-female monosex populations would offer competitive advantage at a local as well as international market. The primary objectives of this study were to first produce, and then cross, WW P. monodon females and obtain viable all-female offspring.

Unfortunately, the trials to achieve neo-males resulted only in external signs of masculinisation. Hence, other objectives could not be addressed. Since the project did not meet the agreed go-no go point, it was prematurely terminated. However, suggestions for subsequent studies are given to forward this research into the future.

The primary objectives of this study were to first produce, and then cross, WW P. monodon females and obtain viable all-female offspring.

Unfortunately, the trials to achieve neo-males resulted only in external signs of masculinisation. Hence, other objectives could not be addressed. Since the project did not meet the agreed go-no go point, it was prematurely terminated. However, suggestions for subsequent studies are given to forward this research into the future.
