Need

The spawning of cultured abalone for Australia’s expanding abalone industry is a ‘numbers game’ with hatcheries required to mature and induce more individuals than needed as gamete release is not under full control. While this is acceptable for commercial production the advent of selective breeding programs (SBPs) emerging across the industry means that increased spawning efficiency is crucial to provide for the spawning of highly valuable selected individuals on cue ensuring that the greatest genetic gains in production traits are realised. Greater control over spawning is key to ensuring maximum efficiency in the implementation of SBPs and also in producing the highly marketable interspecies hybrid between Haliotis rubra and H. laevigata.

The aim of this project is to unravel the signalling cues that regulate spawning and/or maturation processes in abalone. This will allow on farm interventional strategies to be developed. Peptide hormones are a complex set of messenger molecules controlling a wide diversity of regulatory functions including a multitude of physiological processes and behaviours within an organism. The latest mass spectrometry methods will enable the detection, identification and characterisation of these important signalling molecules. While there is currently a limited genetic resource available for Haliotis species in the absence of a reference genome, molecular genetic approaches will also be utilised alongside the peptide discovery process to address this shortfall in knowledge. By undertaking sampling at variable time points during the gonad conditioning and spawning process it will provide valuable insight into which of the peptides are involved in facilitating spawning cues. This is likely to result in the ability to develop external stimuli and/or methods that will enable spawning of temperate abalone on cue.

SCRC: Seafood CRC: PDRS "Benchmarking consumers’ physical and mental availability for seafood products and brands in different buying situations"

Project number: 2008-710

Need

The PDRS is expected to work on projects for which the industry expresses an interest (Cf. Sellfish TBP).

The SellFish theme contributes to both of the Australian Seafood CRC’s research programs "Value Chain Profitability Program (Program 1)" and 3Product Quality and Integrity Program (Program 2)". The Seafood CRC R&D Programs aim to deliver thirteen major outputs. Two of these desired outputs specifically require marketing research. They are Output 1.6 (Removal or reduction of barriers to seafood consumption) and Output 2.5 (Communication of consumer health benefits and risks).

Consumption of selected seafood products sold by Australian Seafood CRC participants will increase, through an increased of products satisfaction by existing customers and through the recruitment of new customers. The impact of activities carried out as part of this theme will be measured using an “omnibus” survey in one or more Australian cities where a selected cohort of consumers will be monitored over the life of the Seafood CRC. Additional consumer surveys and sales data will be used to assess the effectiveness of specific projects.

There are many general questions to be answered about barriers and drivers of seafood consumption, and it is expected that most CRC industry participants will find the answers useful. All seafood CRC industry participants will therefore be asked to cooperate in funding the necessary projects. These general questions will be considered in the early projects conducted by the CRC, thereby establishing a level of basic knowledge and common understanding in all CRC industry participants and research providers. These early projects will also be important in establishing relationships and credibility between industry participants and researchers. Much of the seafood produced by CRC participants is exported and it follows that market research should be conducted in those export markets.

Need

This project is aimed at increasing the capacity to provide Australian seafood businesses with assistance in analysing and improving their supply chains and thus improve their profitability and ability to meet and respond to their customer's needs.

The need for building this capacity has been identified by the CRC and is relected in the OzSeaValue Theme Business Plan which outlines the CRC's framework for investment in this area (including the develpment of the Australian Seafood Productivity Improvement Centre). Similarly WAFIC, ACA, ACPF, APFA, Oyster Consortium, Simplot, SFM and other CRC participants have developed or are developing supply chain projects that will need a coordinated and multi disciplinary research response. The CRC has funded two supply chain mapping and benchmarking projects and has had to engage a private consultant to undertake the work due to lack of capacity within CRC research providers. This lack of capacity was recognised by Curtin University and WAFIC and a supply chain performance research theme was incorporated into the recently funded Centre of Excellence for Seafood Science and Health.

The Post Doc position will work nationally with CRC participants and help to develop a national and international network of expertise and collaborative effort to meet the supply chain performance needs of the companies involved. Opportunities to involve higher education degree students will be vigorously pursued, further enhancing capacity in supply chain performance research and services for industry.

It is anticipated that once the capacity is developed that the demand for services will enable the continued and ongoing funding for supply chain research support within the Centre.

Summary

At the commencement of the Seafood CRC in 2007, CRC participants identified the need to improve competitiveness and profitability through improved supply chain management as one of their highest priorities. However, a lack of research capacity in whole of seafood supply chain monitoring and management was also identified. As a result the CRC decided to fund a post-doctoral position in integrated value chain performance benchmarking studies (incorporating economics, logistics and product quality) to build research capacity in this area.

As a result of the project, generic methods/frameworks have been developed for a range of supply and value chain analyses and these frameworks have been tested in case studies. A large group of staff and students from national research institutions have been trained in seafood supply and value chain analysis techniques. Videos describing some of the methods were also produced for industry extension. As well, more than 10 separate projects have been CRC funded with specific industry partners to undertake supply and value chain analysis, with concomitant recommendation, implementation and evaluation of interventions to improve individual supply chain performance. These project results were the basis for >10 presentations to various industry groups and conferences explaining the techniques and the results of the projects. A number of peer reviewed journal articles have also been published/submitted.

Summary

At the commencement of the Seafood CRC in 2007, CRC participants identified the need to improve competitiveness and profitability through improved supply chain management as one of their highest priorities. However, a lack of research capacity in whole of seafood supply chain monitoring and management was also identified. As a result the CRC decided to fund a post-doctoral position in integrated value chain performance benchmarking studies (incorporating economics, logistics and product quality) to build research capacity in this area.

As a result of the project, generic methods/frameworks have been developed for a range of supply and value chain analyses and these frameworks have been tested in case studies. A large group of staff and students from national research institutions have been trained in seafood supply and value chain analysis techniques. Videos describing some of the methods were also produced for industry extension. As well, more than 10 separate projects have been CRC funded with specific industry partners to undertake supply and value chain analysis, with concomitant recommendation, implementation and evaluation of interventions to improve individual supply chain performance. These project results were the basis for >10 presentations to various industry groups and conferences explaining the techniques and the results of the projects. A number of peer reviewed journal articles have also been published/submitted.

As a result the CRC decided to fund a post-doctoral position in integrated value chain performance benchmarking studies (incorporating economics, logistics and product quality) to build research capacity in this area.

As a result of the project, generic methods/frameworks have been developed for a range of supply and value chain analyses and these frameworks have been tested in case studies. A large group of staff and students from national research institutions have been trained in seafood supply and value chain analysis techniques. Videos describing some of the methods were also produced for industry extension. As well, more than 10 separate projects have been CRC funded with specific industry partners to undertake supply and value chain analysis, with concomitant recommendation, implementation and evaluation of interventions to improve individual supply chain performance. These project results were the basis for >10 presentations to various industry groups and conferences explaining the techniques and the results of the projects. A number of peer reviewed journal articles have also been published/submitted.

A large group of staff and students from national research institutions have been trained in seafood supply and value chain analysis techniques. Videos describing some of the methods were also produced for industry extension. As well, more than 10 separate projects have been CRC funded with specific industry partners to undertake supply and value chain analysis, with concomitant recommendation, implementation and evaluation of interventions to improve individual supply chain performance. These project results were the basis for >10 presentations to various industry groups and conferences explaining the techniques and the results of the projects. A number of peer reviewed journal articles have also been published/submitted.

Summary

At the commencement of the Seafood CRC in 2007, CRC participants identified the need to improve competitiveness and profitability through improved supply chain management as one of their highest priorities. However, a lack of research capacity in whole of seafood supply chain monitoring and management was also identified. As a result the CRC decided to fund a post-doctoral position in integrated value chain performance benchmarking studies (incorporating economics, logistics and product quality) to build research capacity in this area.

As a result of the project, generic methods/frameworks have been developed for a range of supply and value chain analyses and these frameworks have been tested in case studies. A large group of staff and students from national research institutions have been trained in seafood supply and value chain analysis techniques. Videos describing some of the methods were also produced for industry extension. As well, more than 10 separate projects have been CRC funded with specific industry partners to undertake supply and value chain analysis, with concomitant recommendation, implementation and evaluation of interventions to improve individual supply chain performance.

Summary

At the commencement of the Seafood CRC in 2007, CRC participants identified the need to improve competitiveness and profitability through improved supply chain management as one of their highest priorities. However, a lack of research capacity in whole of seafood supply chain monitoring and management was also identified. As a result the CRC decided to fund a post-doctoral position in integrated value chain performance benchmarking studies (incorporating economics, logistics and product quality) to build research capacity in this area.

As a result of the project, generic methods/frameworks have been developed for a range of supply and value chain analyses and these frameworks have been tested in case studies. A large group of staff and students from national research institutions have been trained in seafood supply and value chain analysis techniques. Videos describing some of the methods were also produced for industry extension. As well, more than 10 separate projects have been CRC funded with specific industry partners to undertake supply and value chain analysis, with concomitant recommendation, implementation and evaluation of interventions to improve individual supply chain performance. These project results were the basis for >10 presentations to various industry groups and conferences explaining the techniques and the results of the projects. A number of peer reviewed journal articles have also been published/submitted.

As a result the CRC decided to fund a post-doctoral position in integrated value chain performance benchmarking studies (incorporating economics, logistics and product quality) to build research capacity in this area.

As a result of the project, generic methods/frameworks have been developed for a range of supply and value chain analyses and these frameworks have been tested in case studies. A large group of staff and students from national research institutions have been trained in seafood supply and value chain analysis techniques. Videos describing some of the methods were also produced for industry extension. As well, more than 10 separate projects have been CRC funded with specific industry partners to undertake supply and value chain analysis, with concomitant recommendation, implementation and evaluation of interventions to improve individual supply chain performance. These project results were the basis for >10 presentations to various industry groups and conferences explaining the techniques and the results of the projects. A number of peer reviewed journal articles have also been published/submitted.

A large group of staff and students from national research institutions have been trained in seafood supply and value chain analysis techniques. Videos describing some of the methods were also produced for industry extension. As well, more than 10 separate projects have been CRC funded with specific industry partners to undertake supply and value chain analysis, with concomitant recommendation, implementation and evaluation of interventions to improve individual supply chain performance. These project results were the basis for >10 presentations to various industry groups and conferences explaining the techniques and the results of the projects. A number of peer reviewed journal articles have also been published/submitted.

Summary

At the commencement of the Seafood CRC in 2007, CRC participants identified the need to improve competitiveness and profitability through improved supply chain management as one of their highest priorities. However, a lack of research capacity in whole of seafood supply chain monitoring and management was also identified. As a result the CRC decided to fund a post-doctoral position in integrated value chain performance benchmarking studies (incorporating economics, logistics and product quality) to build research capacity in this area.

As a result of the project, generic methods/frameworks have been developed for a range of supply and value chain analyses and these frameworks have been tested in case studies. A large group of staff and students from national research institutions have been trained in seafood supply and value chain analysis techniques. Videos describing some of the methods were also produced for industry extension. As well, more than 10 separate projects have been CRC funded with specific industry partners to undertake supply and value chain analysis, with concomitant recommendation, implementation and evaluation of interventions to improve individual supply chain performance.

Summary

At the commencement of the Seafood CRC in 2007, CRC participants identified the need to improve competitiveness and profitability through improved supply chain management as one of their highest priorities. However, a lack of research capacity in whole of seafood supply chain monitoring and management was also identified. As a result the CRC decided to fund a post-doctoral position in integrated value chain performance benchmarking studies (incorporating economics, logistics and product quality) to build research capacity in this area.

As a result of the project, generic methods/frameworks have been developed for a range of supply and value chain analyses and these frameworks have been tested in case studies. A large group of staff and students from national research institutions have been trained in seafood supply and value chain analysis techniques. Videos describing some of the methods were also produced for industry extension. As well, more than 10 separate projects have been CRC funded with specific industry partners to undertake supply and value chain analysis, with concomitant recommendation, implementation and evaluation of interventions to improve individual supply chain performance. These project results were the basis for >10 presentations to various industry groups and conferences explaining the techniques and the results of the projects. A number of peer reviewed journal articles have also been published/submitted.

As a result the CRC decided to fund a post-doctoral position in integrated value chain performance benchmarking studies (incorporating economics, logistics and product quality) to build research capacity in this area.

As a result of the project, generic methods/frameworks have been developed for a range of supply and value chain analyses and these frameworks have been tested in case studies. A large group of staff and students from national research institutions have been trained in seafood supply and value chain analysis techniques. Videos describing some of the methods were also produced for industry extension. As well, more than 10 separate projects have been CRC funded with specific industry partners to undertake supply and value chain analysis, with concomitant recommendation, implementation and evaluation of interventions to improve individual supply chain performance. These project results were the basis for >10 presentations to various industry groups and conferences explaining the techniques and the results of the projects. A number of peer reviewed journal articles have also been published/submitted.

A large group of staff and students from national research institutions have been trained in seafood supply and value chain analysis techniques. Videos describing some of the methods were also produced for industry extension. As well, more than 10 separate projects have been CRC funded with specific industry partners to undertake supply and value chain analysis, with concomitant recommendation, implementation and evaluation of interventions to improve individual supply chain performance. These project results were the basis for >10 presentations to various industry groups and conferences explaining the techniques and the results of the projects. A number of peer reviewed journal articles have also been published/submitted.

Summary

At the commencement of the Seafood CRC in 2007, CRC participants identified the need to improve competitiveness and profitability through improved supply chain management as one of their highest priorities. However, a lack of research capacity in whole of seafood supply chain monitoring and management was also identified. As a result the CRC decided to fund a post-doctoral position in integrated value chain performance benchmarking studies (incorporating economics, logistics and product quality) to build research capacity in this area.

As a result of the project, generic methods/frameworks have been developed for a range of supply and value chain analyses and these frameworks have been tested in case studies. A large group of staff and students from national research institutions have been trained in seafood supply and value chain analysis techniques.

Need

Currently SBT is being bred in an expensive on-shore facility at Arno Bay, where a single tank holds a limited number of broodstock, which spawn for a limited period of time. In order to expand on the
production of SBT seed, additional facilities/tanks at the costs of millions of dollars will be required and
sourcing additional 12 year old broodstock. Therefore there is a need to look at alternative approaches
for SBT broodstock management. This proposal explores the application of a highly innovative
approach - that is the use of fish surrogates to produce SBT. By identifying the right surrogate for SBT
and developing the specific know-how with respect to optimal germ cell management, SBT seed could
be produced in a fast maturing small host. This would completely overcome the need for large,
expensive broodstock facilities and long term holding of broodstock, while ensuring a continuous
supply of SBT seed, which is much needed for larval rearing R&D and commercialization. This
application relates to the overall investment in closing of the life-cycle of SBT.

Summary

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 species, the surrogate. The germ cells can migrate and form part of the host’s gonad, resulting in the production of the donor sperm and egg by the host gonad.

We have explored the suitability of the Yellowtail Kingfish (YTK) as a surrogate for SBT. Over 12,000 YTK larvae were injected with SBT germ cells, and 3-4 weeks after transplantation we could observe the migration and colonisation of the SBT cells (which are labelled with red florescence dye for ease of detection) to the YTK genital ridge, confirming SBT cells responded to YTK migration cues. Transplanted larvae were raised and samples assessed a few months later, however so far we could not detect SBT cells in the maturing YTK, indicating that whilst SBT germ cells respond to the YTK migration cues we cannot confirm proliferation of the germ cells in the YTK host at this stage. About 100 YTK approaching one year of age are maintained at CST and will need to be examined for the presence of SBT sperm or eggs once they reach sexual maturity.

Summary

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 species, the surrogate. The germ cells can migrate and form part of the host’s gonad, resulting in the production of the donor sperm and egg by the host gonad.

We have explored the suitability of the Yellowtail Kingfish (YTK) as a surrogate for SBT. Over 12,000 YTK larvae were injected with SBT germ cells, and 3-4 weeks after transplantation we could observe the migration and colonisation of the SBT cells (which are labelled with red florescence dye for ease of detection) to the YTK genital ridge, confirming SBT cells responded to YTK migration cues. Transplanted larvae were raised and samples assessed a few months later, however so far we could not detect SBT cells in the maturing YTK, indicating that whilst SBT germ cells respond to the YTK migration cues we cannot confirm proliferation of the germ cells in the YTK host at this stage. About 100 YTK approaching one year of age are maintained at CST and will need to be examined for the presence of SBT sperm or eggs once they reach sexual maturity.

Summary

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 species, the surrogate. The germ cells can migrate and form part of the host’s gonad, resulting in the production of the donor sperm and egg by the host gonad.

We have explored the suitability of the Yellowtail Kingfish (YTK) as a surrogate for SBT. Over 12,000 YTK larvae were injected with SBT germ cells, and 3-4 weeks after transplantation we could observe the migration and colonisation of the SBT cells (which are labelled with red florescence dye for ease of detection) to the YTK genital ridge, confirming SBT cells responded to YTK migration cues. Transplanted larvae were raised and samples assessed a few months later, however so far we could not detect SBT cells in the maturing YTK, indicating that whilst SBT germ cells respond to the YTK migration cues we cannot confirm proliferation of the germ cells in the YTK host at this stage. About 100 YTK approaching one year of age are maintained at CST and will need to be examined for the presence of SBT sperm or eggs once they reach sexual maturity.

Transplanted larvae were raised and samples assessed a few months later, however so far we could not detect SBT cells in the maturing YTK, indicating that whilst SBT germ cells respond to the YTK migration cues we cannot confirm proliferation of the germ cells in the YTK host at this stage. About 100 YTK approaching one year of age are maintained at CST and will need to be examined for the presence of SBT sperm or eggs once they reach sexual maturity.

Summary

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 species, the surrogate. The germ cells can migrate and form part of the host’s gonad, resulting in the production of the donor sperm and egg by the host gonad.

Over 12,000 YTK larvae were injected with SBT germ cells, and 3-4 weeks after transplantation we could observe the migration and colonisation of the SBT cells (which are labelled with red florescence dye for ease of detection) to the YTK genital ridge, confirming SBT cells responded to YTK migration cues. Transplanted larvae were raised and samples assessed a few months later, however so far we could not detect SBT cells in the maturing YTK, indicating that whilst SBT germ cells respond to the YTK migration cues we cannot confirm proliferation of the germ cells in the YTK host at this stage. About 100 YTK approaching one year of age are maintained at CST and will need to be examined for the presence of SBT sperm or eggs once they reach sexual maturity.

We have explored the suitability of the Yellowtail Kingfish (YTK) as a surrogate for SBT. Over 12,000 YTK larvae were injected with SBT germ cells, and 3-4 weeks after transplantation we could observe the migration and colonisation of the SBT cells (which are labelled with red florescence dye for ease of detection) to the YTK genital ridge, confirming SBT cells responded to YTK migration cues. Transplanted larvae were raised and samples assessed a few months later, however so far we could not detect SBT cells in the maturing YTK, indicating that whilst SBT germ cells respond to the YTK migration cues we cannot confirm proliferation of the germ cells in the YTK host at this stage. About 100 YTK approaching one year of age are maintained at CST and will need to be examined for the presence of SBT sperm or eggs once they reach sexual maturity.

The germ cells can migrate and form part of the host’s gonad, resulting in the production of the donor sperm and egg by the host gonad.

We have explored the suitability of the Yellowtail Kingfish (YTK) as a surrogate for SBT. Over 12,000 YTK larvae were injected with SBT germ cells, and 3-4 weeks after transplantation we could observe the migration and colonisation of the SBT cells (which are labelled with red florescence dye for ease of detection) to the YTK genital ridge, confirming SBT cells responded to YTK migration cues. Transplanted larvae were raised and samples assessed a few months later, however so far we could not detect SBT cells in the maturing YTK, indicating that whilst SBT germ cells respond to the YTK migration cues we cannot confirm proliferation of the germ cells in the YTK host at this stage. About 100 YTK approaching one year of age are maintained at CST and will need to be examined for the presence of SBT sperm or eggs once they reach sexual maturity.

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 species, the surrogate. The germ cells can migrate and form part of the host’s gonad, resulting in the production of the donor sperm and egg by the host gonad.

We have explored the suitability of the Yellowtail Kingfish (YTK) as a surrogate for SBT. Over 12,000 YTK larvae were injected with SBT germ cells, and 3-4 weeks after transplantation we could observe the migration and colonisation of the SBT cells (which are labelled with red florescence dye for ease of detection) to the YTK genital ridge, confirming SBT cells responded to YTK migration cues. Transplanted larvae were raised and samples assessed a few months later, however so far we could not detect SBT cells in the maturing YTK, indicating that whilst SBT germ cells respond to the YTK migration cues we cannot confirm proliferation of the germ cells in the YTK host at this stage. About 100 YTK approaching one year of age are maintained at CST and will need to be examined for the presence of SBT sperm or eggs once they reach sexual maturity.

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 species, the surrogate. The germ cells can migrate and form part of the host’s gonad, resulting in the production of the donor sperm and egg by the host gonad.

We have explored the suitability of the Yellowtail Kingfish (YTK) as a surrogate for SBT. Over 12,000 YTK larvae were injected with SBT germ cells, and 3-4 weeks after transplantation we could observe the migration and colonisation of the SBT cells (which are labelled with red florescence dye for ease of detection) to the YTK genital ridge, confirming SBT cells responded to YTK migration cues. Transplanted larvae were raised and samples assessed a few months later, however so far we could not detect SBT cells in the maturing YTK, indicating that whilst SBT germ cells respond to the YTK migration cues we cannot confirm proliferation of the germ cells in the YTK host at this stage. About 100 YTK approaching one year of age are maintained at CST and will need to be examined for the presence of SBT sperm or eggs once they reach sexual maturity.

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 species, the surrogate. The germ cells can migrate and form part of the host’s gonad, resulting in the production of the donor sperm and egg by the host gonad.

We have explored the suitability of the Yellowtail Kingfish (YTK) as a surrogate for SBT. Over 12,000 YTK larvae were injected with SBT germ cells, and 3-4 weeks after transplantation we could observe the migration and colonisation of the SBT cells (which are labelled with red florescence dye for ease of detection) to the YTK genital ridge, confirming SBT cells responded to YTK migration cues. Transplanted larvae were raised and samples assessed a few months later, however so far we could not detect SBT cells in the maturing YTK, indicating that whilst SBT germ cells respond to the YTK migration cues we cannot confirm proliferation of the germ cells in the YTK host at this stage. About 100 YTK approaching one year of age are maintained at CST and will need to be examined for the presence of SBT sperm or eggs once they reach sexual maturity.

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 species, the surrogate. The germ cells can migrate and form part of the host’s gonad, resulting in the production of the donor sperm and egg by the host gonad.

We have explored the suitability of the Yellowtail Kingfish (YTK) as a surrogate for SBT. Over 12,000 YTK larvae were injected with SBT germ cells, and 3-4 weeks after transplantation we could observe the migration and colonisation of the SBT cells (which are labelled with red florescence dye for ease of detection) to the YTK genital ridge, confirming SBT cells responded to YTK migration cues. Transplanted larvae were raised and samples assessed a few months later, however so far we could not detect SBT cells in the maturing YTK, indicating that whilst SBT germ cells respond to the YTK migration cues we cannot confirm proliferation of the germ cells in the YTK host at this stage. About 100 YTK approaching one year of age are maintained at CST and will need to be examined for the presence of SBT sperm or eggs once they reach sexual maturity.

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 species, the surrogate. The germ cells can migrate and form part of the host’s gonad, resulting in the production of the donor sperm and egg by the host gonad.

We have explored the suitability of the Yellowtail Kingfish (YTK) as a surrogate for SBT. Over 12,000 YTK larvae were injected with SBT germ cells, and 3-4 weeks after transplantation we could observe the migration and colonisation of the SBT cells (which are labelled with red florescence dye for ease of detection) to the YTK genital ridge, confirming SBT cells responded to YTK migration cues. Transplanted larvae were raised and samples assessed a few months later, however so far we could not detect SBT cells in the maturing YTK, indicating that whilst SBT germ cells respond to the YTK migration cues we cannot confirm proliferation of the germ cells in the YTK host at this stage. About 100 YTK approaching one year of age are maintained at CST and will need to be examined for the presence of SBT sperm or eggs once they reach sexual maturity.

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 species, the surrogate. The germ cells can migrate and form part of the host’s gonad, resulting in the production of the donor sperm and egg by the host gonad.

We have explored the suitability of the Yellowtail Kingfish (YTK) as a surrogate for SBT. Over 12,000 YTK larvae were injected with SBT germ cells, and 3-4 weeks after transplantation we could observe the migration and colonisation of the SBT cells (which are labelled with red florescence dye for ease of detection) to the YTK genital ridge, confirming SBT cells responded to YTK migration cues. Transplanted larvae were raised and samples assessed a few months later, however so far we could not detect SBT cells in the maturing YTK, indicating that whilst SBT germ cells respond to the YTK migration cues we cannot confirm proliferation of the germ cells in the YTK host at this stage. About 100 YTK approaching one year of age are maintained at CST and will need to be examined for the presence of SBT sperm or eggs once they reach sexual maturity.

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 species, the surrogate. The germ cells can migrate and form part of the host’s gonad, resulting in the production of the donor sperm and egg by the host gonad.

We have explored the suitability of the Yellowtail Kingfish (YTK) as a surrogate for SBT. Over 12,000 YTK larvae were injected with SBT germ cells, and 3-4 weeks after transplantation we could observe the migration and colonisation of the SBT cells (which are labelled with red florescence dye for ease of detection) to the YTK genital ridge, confirming SBT cells responded to YTK migration cues. Transplanted larvae were raised and samples assessed a few months later, however so far we could not detect SBT cells in the maturing YTK, indicating that whilst SBT germ cells respond to the YTK migration cues we cannot confirm proliferation of the germ cells in the YTK host at this stage. About 100 YTK approaching one year of age are maintained at CST and will need to be examined for the presence of SBT sperm or eggs once they reach sexual maturity.

SCRC: Alleviation of Summer Gut Syndrome (SGS) in Tasmanian Atlantic Salmon

Project number: 2010-771
Project Status:
Completed

Principal Investigator: Mohammad Katouli
Organisation: University of the Sunshine Coast (USC)
Project start/end date: 31 Jan 2011 - 14 Oct 2013

Need

The prevalence of SGS and other gut-related diseases is a primary cause of economic losses related to the farming of Atlantic Salmon with AGD being more significant. Maricultured Atlantic salmon in Tasmanian south-eastern waters have been frequently noted to exhibit an increased mortality during summer due to SGS. The problem is of concern to the Tasmanian aquaculture industry due to reduction in production efficiency. The aetiology of the SGS is unidentified but the fact that antibiotics can resolve the problem temporarily suggests that SGS is induced by a bacterial agent or agents. Identification of the aetiology of the disease is therefore a priority to resolve the problem. This however, requires a detailed investigation of the dynamics of microbial communities in the gut and their response to environmental factors such as temperature and diet over time as well as investigating their interaction with the gut epithelium. This has to be done not only in salmon afflicted with SGS but also in healthy salmon to determine how the protective effect of normal microflora in salmon is compromised during warm seasons allowing overgrowth of certain species of bacteria. Previous research suggests SGS may be caused by the proliferation of apparently non-pathogenic species of Vibrios or Aliivibrios. This needs to be verified and we plan to investigate this as well as investigating pathogenic potential of all bacteria that establish a close contact with the gut epithelium of salmon over time. And finally the importance of probiotic strains with potential to competitively exclude pathogenic strains in salmon’s gut and their population dynamics requires investigation as these bacteria may have an important role in prevention of the SGS.

SCRC: Compositional profiles of Australian seafood- Strategic analysis and method development.

Project number: 2009-739
Project Status:

Need

The consultaive process with the CRC end-users identified a need for accurate, consistent and scientifically sound baseline compositional data of commercially traded seafood species. This information can be used to substantiate product label claims, including nutrition panel information and health claims; to promote the benefits of seafood and seafood consumption as part of a balanced diet, to inform dietary modelling activities and nutrition calculations, to gain and maintaining market access, to respond to bad publicity and to benchmark production processes.

In order to meet this identified need for reliable compositional data, industry participants have also identified an increasing need to have access to an expanded capacity of certified analysis. Phase 1 of the compositional profiles program will result in a strategic assessment of analytical capacity within the Seafood CRC and identify and prioritise methodology not currently available but required to meet current and emerging Australian seafood industry requirements for nutritional and compositional analyses. These certified methods can then be developed as part of this project, resulting in and meeting the need for an expanded capacity for the industry.

The Chemistry Centre as the oldest NATA accredited laboratory in Australia and the holder of widest NATA certified capacity of tests for food analysis in Australia is well placed to add seafood specific analytes to its capacity. Investment in establishment and expansion of seafood analytical capacity using the centre's existing infrastructure and diverse highly technical instrument base will expand Australian capacity in this key area for at least the next twenty years, leading to a long term efficient and competent resource for industry and academic research and development.

Australian Fisheries and Aquaculture Statistics 2017

Need

Statistics on Australian fisheries production and trade provides a source of information for a range of purposes. The information can be used to meet the needs of the fishing and aquaculture industry, fisheries managers, policymakers and researchers. It can assist in policy decisions, industry marketing strategies and the allocation of research funding or priorities. The gross value of production for specific fisheries are used for determining the research and development levies collected by government. The neutrality and integrity of GVP estimates is therefore important due to their forming the basis for research levies for each fishery. At the international level, the Department of Agriculture through the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) contributes to a number of international databases. These include databases managed by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Information at the international level can assist in international negotiations on issues such as transboundary fisheries and analysis of trade opportunities.

Objectives

1. To maintain and improve the data base of production, gross value of production and trade statistics for the Australian fishing industry, including aquaculture.
2. To provide these data in an accessible form.

Workshop to implement a National Approach to Australian Salmon Market Development and Supply

Project number: 2016-121

Need

Australian salmon has long been considered an underutilised species in sufficient catchable volumes across NSW, Victoria, Tasmania, South and Western Australia to have potential for greater commercial market value and penetration. However such market development has been curtailed by factors including: poor consumer perception; inconsistent quality and short shelf-life due to harvest methods and infrastructure issues; export barriers and the status of Australian Salmon as an iconic recreational species resulting in concerns recreational catch could be compromised with increased commercial harvest. As well, the commercial catch across the different state jurisdictions is short seasoned and lacking coordination such that harvest of sufficient tonnage for high volume markets has not been possible. Previous projects (2013/711.40; 2008/794) have resulted in optimisation of methodology for post-harvest handling and processing for this species, market investigation and development of a range of consumer tested value-added products, however further market development (whilst present) has been largely curtailed by the issues as described above.

The “Love Australian Prawns” campaign which saw the Australian wild harvest and farmed prawn industries unite shows the potential advantages of taking a national and coordinated approach to market development for Australian seafood. It was considered that such a national approach to developing new opportunities for Australian salmon would alleviate the current challenges in developing new markets principally relating to seasonality and consistent and sustained quality, volume supply. A whole of chain national workshop is considered the first step in developing such a national approach.

Objectives

1. Assess if there is national, collaborative whole of chain commitment to developing new markets for Australian salmon.
2. Demonstration of national collaboration within the Australian salmon value chain, encompassing fishers, processors, distributors and marketers to develop and implement new market opportunities for Australian salmon.

Genetic variation
The results we have obtained in the current project are encouraging for SALTAS, as they confirm the earlier allozyme results of little loss of genetic variation. However, the results are also suggestive of a potential long term trend in loss of genetic variation. A sample collected and analysed in January 1997 (1993 year-class parents) would provide evidence to substantiate this trend or indicate whether the current results were a sampling artifact. The analysis of a 1997 sample would be the second of a proposed regular 4 to 5 year assessment of the status of the Tasmanian stock, and would help to describe the nature and speed of any long term trends.

SALTAS, as the principal Atlantic salmon hatchery in Australia, has a long term requirement to maintain industry and investor confidence in their product, and the ability to confirm the reliability of its breeding practices is important for the sustainability of the industry.

Loss of genetic variation in a cultured population will provide an early indicator of potential inbreeding, which could have grave consequences as deleterious recessive genes are exposed and stocks lose vigour dependent on genetic variance. Any loss of genetic variation in Tasmanian Atlantic salmon could be difficult or impossible to recover due to the restrictions on importation of new broodstock.

Y-chromosome marker
A number of molecular genetic techniques for trait or marker screening have been developed since the original proposal was submitted. We propose to apply some of these new techniques to the screening of Atlantic salmon DNA for a potential Y-chromosome marker. These approaches will greatly increase our chances of finding such a marker.

The new techniques we propose include:
Representational Difference Analysis (RDA);
PCR-Select cDNA Subtraction Technique;
the application of other modified subtractive hybridization and differential display techniques
that have proved useful in other species;
AFLP (amplified fragment polymorphism) technique; and
the application of a number of commercial RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA)
primers.

We have also established contact, and will collaborate during the proposed project extension, with workers who have a Y-chromosome marker for brook trout and arctic char, and other workers in this field working with other teleosts.

We believe that a continuation of the current project (95/80) is the best approach to further tackle this Y-chromosome marker issue. It will allow us to best utilise the expertise and momentum we have established on this problem, rather than completed our current objectives and then revisit this issue in a year or two.

If we are successful in locating a Y-chromosome marker either during the remainder of the current schedule or early in the 1997 grant extension, resources will then be directed to isolate and further characterize that marker.

Objectives

1. To locate a Y-chromosome marker in Atlantic salmon by applying a range of molecular genetic techniques.
2. To establish the rate of change in genetic variation in Tasmanian Atlantic salmon by comparing the genetic (microsatellite and allozyme) variation expressed in progeny from 1993 year-class parents with that present in 1989 year-class parents and the parental Nova Scotia population.

Summary

The aquaculture of Atlantic salmon began in Australia in the mid-1960' s with an importation of ova from Canada to New South Wales. Anecdotal evidence suggested that the Australian population went through a severe bottleneck event during the early years due to poor survival and subsequent small broodstock numbers. The population, however, survived and numbers increased such that a few hundred broodstock were available each year from the early 1970' s. The now flourishing Tasmanian Atlantic salmon indust1y was founded from the New South Wales population in the mid 1980's. About 115 000, 180 000 and 275 000 ova were brought to Tasmania in 1984, 1985 and 1986, respectively. The Tasmanian industry now produces over 7 000 tonnes annually, with the majority of smolt being supplied by the Salmon Enterprises of Tasmania Pty Ltd (SAL TAS) commercial hatchery. SALT AS has for the past ten years maintained the Tasmanian broodstock, using several hundred females and males from two-year classes to produce each year's supply of smolt.

An important task for hatchery managers is the maintenance of genetic variation in their broodstock, and molecular geneticists can accurately assess genetic variation and detect meaningful changes. In recent years a new class of DNA marker - microsatellites - has shown promise for studies of genetic variation, progeny testing, genome mapping and quantitative trait loci (trait markers). We constructed an Atlantic salmon genomic DNA library which contains over 9 000 clones and several hundred potential microsatellite DNA markers. The DNA sequences of 24 of these have been determined and primers developed for eight markers for use in genetic studies. Three of these, plus five obtained from overseas contacts, were used to examine genetic variation in the Tasmanian population. As these markers were applied to the same individual fish that had earlier been examined for allozyme and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation, the relative abilities of these three techniques to detect genetic changes in hatchery populations could be assessed.

The genetic variation present in the Tasmanian and Canadian populations in 1993 was compared using these three molecular genetic methods - allozymes, mitochondrial DNA and nuclear DNA microsatellites. Some small but statistically significant allele frequency differences between the two populations were observed for one of seven polymorphic allozyme loci and for mitochondrial DNA haplotypes. However, there was no evidence of reduced genetic variability in the Tasmanian population. There were small but significant allele frequency differences observed at four of the eight microsatellite loci, and this analysis did show evidence of a small overall loss of genetic variation (loss of alleles and heterozygosity) in the Tasmanian population.

To investigate this suggested loss of genetic variation, and whether this occurred since the introduction to Tasmania or, as anecdotally suggested, during the early years of domestication in New South Wales, the genetic variation (microsatellites and allozymes) present in the Tasmanian and New South Wales populations in 1997 was then compared with that in the two previous samples.

The aquaculture of Atlantic salmon began in Australia in the mid-1960' s with an importation of ova from Canada to New South Wales. Anecdotal evidence suggested that the Australian population went through a severe bottleneck event during the early years due to poor survival and subsequent small broodstock numbers. The population, however, survived and numbers increased such that a few hundred broodstock were available each year from the early 1970' s. The now flourishing Tasmanian Atlantic salmon indust1y was founded from the New South Wales population in the mid 1980's. About 115 000, 180 000 and 275 000 ova were brought to Tasmania in 1984, 1985 and 1986, respectively. The Tasmanian industry now produces over 7 000 tonnes annually, with the majority of smolt being supplied by the Salmon Enterprises of Tasmania Pty Ltd (SAL TAS) commercial hatchery. SALT AS has for the past ten years maintained the Tasmanian broodstock, using several hundred females and males from two-year classes to produce each year's supply of smolt.

An important task for hatchery managers is the maintenance of genetic variation in their broodstock, and molecular geneticists can accurately assess genetic variation and detect meaningful changes. In recent years a new class of DNA marker - microsatellites - has shown promise for studies of genetic variation, progeny testing, genome mapping and quantitative trait loci (trait markers). We constructed an Atlantic salmon genomic DNA library which contains over 9 000 clones and several hundred potential microsatellite DNA markers. The DNA sequences of 24 of these have been determined and primers developed for eight markers for use in genetic studies. Three of these, plus five obtained from overseas contacts, were used to examine genetic variation in the Tasmanian population. As these markers were applied to the same individual fish that had earlier been examined for allozyme and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation, the relative abilities of these three techniques to detect genetic changes in hatchery populations could be assessed.

The genetic variation present in the Tasmanian and Canadian populations in 1993 was compared using these three molecular genetic methods - allozymes, mitochondrial DNA and nuclear DNA microsatellites. Some small but statistically significant allele frequency differences between the two populations were observed for one of seven polymorphic allozyme loci and for mitochondrial DNA haplotypes. However, there was no evidence of reduced genetic variability in the Tasmanian population. There were small but significant allele frequency differences observed at four of the eight microsatellite loci, and this analysis did show evidence of a small overall loss of genetic variation (loss of alleles and heterozygosity) in the Tasmanian population.

To investigate this suggested loss of genetic variation, and whether this occurred since the introduction to Tasmania or, as anecdotally suggested, during the early years of domestication in New South Wales, the genetic variation (microsatellites and allozymes) present in the Tasmanian and New South Wales populations in 1997 was then compared with that in the two previous samples.

The genetic variation present in the Tasmanian and Canadian populations in 1993 was compared using these three molecular genetic methods - allozymes, mitochondrial DNA and nuclear DNA microsatellites. Some small but statistically significant allele frequency differences between the two populations were observed for one of seven polymorphic allozyme loci and for mitochondrial DNA haplotypes. However, there was no evidence of reduced genetic variability in the Tasmanian population. There were small but significant allele frequency differences observed at four of the eight microsatellite loci, and this analysis did show evidence of a small overall loss of genetic variation (loss of alleles and heterozygosity) in the Tasmanian population.

To investigate this suggested loss of genetic variation, and whether this occurred since the introduction to Tasmania or, as anecdotally suggested, during the early years of domestication in New South Wales, the genetic variation (microsatellites and allozymes) present in the Tasmanian and New South Wales populations in 1997 was then compared with that in the two previous samples.

Need

The $84 M lobster industry has been impacted by seasonal Tasmanian closures (up to 5+ months) due to PST contamination of hepatopancreas (HP) notably in the St Helens and Maria Island regions (up to 4 mg STX.diHCl/kg), and up to Flinders Island, with an estimated lost revenue cost of 780k (Campbell et al 2013). While only trace levels of PSTs have been detected to date in lobster tail meat, HP contamination poses significant trade barriers for key markets such as China and Hong Kong. While cooking of lobsters did not release biotoxins into the cooking water, HP is a sought after foodstuff (mainly used as a dipping sauce for tail meat) and consumed by 16% of fishers on the Tasmanian east coast and 22% on the west coast, but this has since decreased due to public health warnings. Limited evidence suggests that PST contamination of lobsters may also occasionally occur in South Australia and Victoria.

The monitoring, management and mitigation approaches for biotoxin risks in crustaceans (as spelled out in the DPIPWE Rock Lobster Biotoxin Plan and Decision Protocol) remain poorly developed. The current approach uses bivalve PST monitoring as a trigger for lobster testing, with a very limited number (5) animals tested at a prohibitive cost of 5k, which if positive (>0.8 mg/kg STX eq) leads to lengthy closures of large fishing zones.

The proposed work will refine monitoring tools to reduce the costs associated with PST biotoxin risk management of Southern Rock Lobster, including the application of cheaper and faster (and hence more frequent and more reliable) PST testing and also explore whether tests can be conducted in a non-destructive manner using haemolymph as a proxy.

In addition, tank studies of PST in lobster and field studies on the variation in toxicity, and the validation of a rapid test kit will help to inform the effectiveness of the current geographical zones in the management plan.

Potential impact of PST on lobster vigour will also be investigated using a combination of tank exposure and blood biomarker studies, the latter once calibrated also applied to Tasmanian field surveys.

Objectives

1. Assess the applicability of Neogen PST test kits for lobster viscera
2. Exploration of Neogen PST tests on lobster haemolymph as a proxy for lobster viscera PST contamination
3. Determination of the impact of PST accumulation on lobster vigour
4. Improved definition of East Coast Tasmanian lobster management zones, based on improved understanding of dietary origin of PST (from tank studies), and improved understanding of variability ( from field studies ).

Summary

To examine toxicokinetics of PST in Southern Rock Lobster, an experimental study was undertaken in a biosecure aquaculture facility in South Australia. Adult male lobsters were fed highly toxic mussels (6 mg STX.2HCl equiv. kg−1) sourced from the Tasmanian east coast for 4 weeks, then allowed to depurate for a further 5 weeks. Control (fed non-toxic mussels) and exposed lobster were harvested at regular intervals, tissues dissected and analysed for PST. The lobsters rapidly accumulated PST in the hepatopancreas (exponential rate of 6% per day), exceeding the bivalve ML within one week, and reaching a maximum of 9.0 mg STX.2HCl equiv. kg−1. Once toxic feed was removed, the lobster depurated at a rate of 7% per day. Toxins were found in lobster antennal glands at concentrations two orders of magnitude lower than found in the hepatopancreas. This is the first report of PST in lobster antennal glands which, along with the gills, represent possible excretion routes for PST. However, PST were not detected at significant levels in the lobster haemolymph, which rules out the possibility of nondestructive sampling of lobsters for biotoxin analyses.

Control (fed non-toxic mussels) and exposed lobster were harvested at regular intervals, tissues dissected and analysed for PST. The lobsters rapidly accumulated PST in the hepatopancreas (exponential rate of 6% per day), exceeding the bivalve ML within one week, and reaching a maximum of 9.0 mg STX.2HCl equiv. kg−1. Once toxic feed was removed, the lobster depurated at a rate of 7% per day. Toxins were found in lobster antennal glands at concentrations two orders of magnitude lower than found in the hepatopancreas. This is the first report of PST in lobster antennal glands which, along with the gills, represent possible excretion routes for PST. However, PST were not detected at significant levels in the lobster haemolymph, which rules out the possibility of nondestructive sampling of lobsters for biotoxin analyses.

This is the first report of PST in lobster antennal glands which, along with the gills, represent possible excretion routes for PST. However, PST were not detected at significant levels in the lobster haemolymph, which rules out the possibility of nondestructive sampling of lobsters for biotoxin analyses.

Summary

To examine toxicokinetics of PST in Southern Rock Lobster, an experimental study was undertaken in a biosecure aquaculture facility in South Australia. Adult male lobsters were fed highly toxic mussels (6 mg STX.2HCl equiv. kg−1) sourced from the Tasmanian east coast for 4 weeks, then allowed to depurate for a further 5 weeks. Control (fed non-toxic mussels) and exposed lobster were harvested at regular intervals, tissues dissected and analysed for PST. The lobsters rapidly accumulated PST in the hepatopancreas (exponential rate of 6% per day), exceeding the bivalve ML within one week, and reaching a maximum of 9.0 mg STX.2HCl equiv. kg−1. Once toxic feed was removed, the lobster depurated at a rate of 7% per day. Toxins were found in lobster antennal glands at concentrations two orders of magnitude lower than found in the hepatopancreas. This is the first report of PST in lobster antennal glands which, along with the gills, represent possible excretion routes for PST. However, PST were not detected at significant levels in the lobster haemolymph, which rules out the possibility of nondestructive sampling of lobsters for biotoxin analyses.

Adult male lobsters were fed highly toxic mussels (6 mg STX.2HCl equiv. kg−1) sourced from the Tasmanian east coast for 4 weeks, then allowed to depurate for a further 5 weeks. Control (fed non-toxic mussels) and exposed lobster were harvested at regular intervals, tissues dissected and analysed for PST. The lobsters rapidly accumulated PST in the hepatopancreas (exponential rate of 6% per day), exceeding the bivalve ML within one week, and reaching a maximum of 9.0 mg STX.2HCl equiv. kg−1. Once toxic feed was removed, the lobster depurated at a rate of 7% per day. Toxins were found in lobster antennal glands at concentrations two orders of magnitude lower than found in the hepatopancreas. This is the first report of PST in lobster antennal glands which, along with the gills, represent possible excretion routes for PST. However, PST were not detected at significant levels in the lobster haemolymph, which rules out the possibility of nondestructive sampling of lobsters for biotoxin analyses.

This is the first report of PST in lobster antennal glands which, along with the gills, represent possible excretion routes for PST. However, PST were not detected at significant levels in the lobster haemolymph, which rules out the possibility of nondestructive sampling of lobsters for biotoxin analyses.

Summary

To examine toxicokinetics of PST in Southern Rock Lobster, an experimental study was undertaken in a biosecure aquaculture facility in South Australia. Adult male lobsters were fed highly toxic mussels (6 mg STX.2HCl equiv. kg−1) sourced from the Tasmanian east coast for 4 weeks, then allowed to depurate for a further 5 weeks. Control (fed non-toxic mussels) and exposed lobster were harvested at regular intervals, tissues dissected and analysed for PST. The lobsters rapidly accumulated PST in the hepatopancreas (exponential rate of 6% per day), exceeding the bivalve ML within one week, and reaching a maximum of 9.0 mg STX.2HCl equiv. kg−1. Once toxic feed was removed, the lobster depurated at a rate of 7% per day. Toxins were found in lobster antennal glands at concentrations two orders of magnitude lower than found in the hepatopancreas. This is the first report of PST in lobster antennal glands which, along with the gills, represent possible excretion routes for PST. However, PST were not detected at significant levels in the lobster haemolymph, which rules out the possibility of nondestructive sampling of lobsters for biotoxin analyses.

Adult male lobsters were fed highly toxic mussels (6 mg STX.2HCl equiv. kg−1) sourced from the Tasmanian east coast for 4 weeks, then allowed to depurate for a further 5 weeks. Control (fed non-toxic mussels) and exposed lobster were harvested at regular intervals, tissues dissected and analysed for PST. The lobsters rapidly accumulated PST in the hepatopancreas (exponential rate of 6% per day), exceeding the bivalve ML within one week, and reaching a maximum of 9.0 mg STX.2HCl equiv. kg−1. Once toxic feed was removed, the lobster depurated at a rate of 7% per day. Toxins were found in lobster antennal glands at concentrations two orders of magnitude lower than found in the hepatopancreas. This is the first report of PST in lobster antennal glands which, along with the gills, represent possible excretion routes for PST. However, PST were not detected at significant levels in the lobster haemolymph, which rules out the possibility of nondestructive sampling of lobsters for biotoxin analyses.

This is the first report of PST in lobster antennal glands which, along with the gills, represent possible excretion routes for PST. However, PST were not detected at significant levels in the lobster haemolymph, which rules out the possibility of nondestructive sampling of lobsters for biotoxin analyses.

Summary

To examine toxicokinetics of PST in Southern Rock Lobster, an experimental study was undertaken in a biosecure aquaculture facility in South Australia. Adult male lobsters were fed highly toxic mussels (6 mg STX.2HCl equiv. kg−1) sourced from the Tasmanian east coast for 4 weeks, then allowed to depurate for a further 5 weeks. Control (fed non-toxic mussels) and exposed lobster were harvested at regular intervals, tissues dissected and analysed for PST. The lobsters rapidly accumulated PST in the hepatopancreas (exponential rate of 6% per day), exceeding the bivalve ML within one week, and reaching a maximum of 9.0 mg STX.2HCl equiv. kg−1. Once toxic feed was removed, the lobster depurated at a rate of 7% per day. Toxins were found in lobster antennal glands at concentrations two orders of magnitude lower than found in the hepatopancreas. This is the first report of PST in lobster antennal glands which, along with the gills, represent possible excretion routes for PST. However, PST were not detected at significant levels in the lobster haemolymph, which rules out the possibility of nondestructive sampling of lobsters for biotoxin analyses.

Adult male lobsters were fed highly toxic mussels (6 mg STX.2HCl equiv. kg−1) sourced from the Tasmanian east coast for 4 weeks, then allowed to depurate for a further 5 weeks. Control (fed non-toxic mussels) and exposed lobster were harvested at regular intervals, tissues dissected and analysed for PST. The lobsters rapidly accumulated PST in the hepatopancreas (exponential rate of 6% per day), exceeding the bivalve ML within one week, and reaching a maximum of 9.0 mg STX.2HCl equiv. kg−1. Once toxic feed was removed, the lobster depurated at a rate of 7% per day. Toxins were found in lobster antennal glands at concentrations two orders of magnitude lower than found in the hepatopancreas. This is the first report of PST in lobster antennal glands which, along with the gills, represent possible excretion routes for PST. However, PST were not detected at significant levels in the lobster haemolymph, which rules out the possibility of nondestructive sampling of lobsters for biotoxin analyses.

This is the first report of PST in lobster antennal glands which, along with the gills, represent possible excretion routes for PST. However, PST were not detected at significant levels in the lobster haemolymph, which rules out the possibility of nondestructive sampling of lobsters for biotoxin analyses.

Summary

To examine toxicokinetics of PST in Southern Rock Lobster, an experimental study was undertaken in a biosecure aquaculture facility in South Australia. Adult male lobsters were fed highly toxic mussels (6 mg STX.2HCl equiv. kg−1) sourced from the Tasmanian east coast for 4 weeks, then allowed to depurate for a further 5 weeks. Control (fed non-toxic mussels) and exposed lobster were harvested at regular intervals, tissues dissected and analysed for PST. The lobsters rapidly accumulated PST in the hepatopancreas (exponential rate of 6% per day), exceeding the bivalve ML within one week, and reaching a maximum of 9.0 mg STX.2HCl equiv. kg−1. Once toxic feed was removed, the lobster depurated at a rate of 7% per day. Toxins were found in lobster antennal glands at concentrations two orders of magnitude lower than found in the hepatopancreas. This is the first report of PST in lobster antennal glands which, along with the gills, represent possible excretion routes for PST. However, PST were not detected at significant levels in the lobster haemolymph, which rules out the possibility of nondestructive sampling of lobsters for biotoxin analyses.

Adult male lobsters were fed highly toxic mussels (6 mg STX.2HCl equiv. kg−1) sourced from the Tasmanian east coast for 4 weeks, then allowed to depurate for a further 5 weeks. Control (fed non-toxic mussels) and exposed lobster were harvested at regular intervals, tissues dissected and analysed for PST. The lobsters rapidly accumulated PST in the hepatopancreas (exponential rate of 6% per day), exceeding the bivalve ML within one week, and reaching a maximum of 9.0 mg STX.2HCl equiv. kg−1. Once toxic feed was removed, the lobster depurated at a rate of 7% per day. Toxins were found in lobster antennal glands at concentrations two orders of magnitude lower than found in the hepatopancreas. This is the first report of PST in lobster antennal glands which, along with the gills, represent possible excretion routes for PST. However, PST were not detected at significant levels in the lobster haemolymph, which rules out the possibility of nondestructive sampling of lobsters for biotoxin analyses.

This is the first report of PST in lobster antennal glands which, along with the gills, represent possible excretion routes for PST. However, PST were not detected at significant levels in the lobster haemolymph, which rules out the possibility of nondestructive sampling of lobsters for biotoxin analyses.

Summary

To examine toxicokinetics of PST in Southern Rock Lobster, an experimental study was undertaken in a biosecure aquaculture facility in South Australia. Adult male lobsters were fed highly toxic mussels (6 mg STX.2HCl equiv. kg−1) sourced from the Tasmanian east coast for 4 weeks, then allowed to depurate for a further 5 weeks. Control (fed non-toxic mussels) and exposed lobster were harvested at regular intervals, tissues dissected and analysed for PST. The lobsters rapidly accumulated PST in the hepatopancreas (exponential rate of 6% per day), exceeding the bivalve ML within one week, and reaching a maximum of 9.0 mg STX.2HCl equiv. kg−1. Once toxic feed was removed, the lobster depurated at a rate of 7% per day. Toxins were found in lobster antennal glands at concentrations two orders of magnitude lower than found in the hepatopancreas. This is the first report of PST in lobster antennal glands which, along with the gills, represent possible excretion routes for PST. However, PST were not detected at significant levels in the lobster haemolymph, which rules out the possibility of nondestructive sampling of lobsters for biotoxin analyses.

Adult male lobsters were fed highly toxic mussels (6 mg STX.2HCl equiv. kg−1) sourced from the Tasmanian east coast for 4 weeks, then allowed to depurate for a further 5 weeks. Control (fed non-toxic mussels) and exposed lobster were harvested at regular intervals, tissues dissected and analysed for PST. The lobsters rapidly accumulated PST in the hepatopancreas (exponential rate of 6% per day), exceeding the bivalve ML within one week, and reaching a maximum of 9.0 mg STX.2HCl equiv. kg−1. Once toxic feed was removed, the lobster depurated at a rate of 7% per day. Toxins were found in lobster antennal glands at concentrations two orders of magnitude lower than found in the hepatopancreas. This is the first report of PST in lobster antennal glands which, along with the gills, represent possible excretion routes for PST. However, PST were not detected at significant levels in the lobster haemolymph, which rules out the possibility of nondestructive sampling of lobsters for biotoxin analyses.

This is the first report of PST in lobster antennal glands which, along with the gills, represent possible excretion routes for PST. However, PST were not detected at significant levels in the lobster haemolymph, which rules out the possibility of nondestructive sampling of lobsters for biotoxin analyses.

Summary

To examine toxicokinetics of PST in Southern Rock Lobster, an experimental study was undertaken in a biosecure aquaculture facility in South Australia. Adult male lobsters were fed highly toxic mussels (6 mg STX.2HCl equiv. kg−1) sourced from the Tasmanian east coast for 4 weeks, then allowed to depurate for a further 5 weeks. Control (fed non-toxic mussels) and exposed lobster were harvested at regular intervals, tissues dissected and analysed for PST. The lobsters rapidly accumulated PST in the hepatopancreas (exponential rate of 6% per day), exceeding the bivalve ML within one week, and reaching a maximum of 9.0 mg STX.2HCl equiv. kg−1. Once toxic feed was removed, the lobster depurated at a rate of 7% per day. Toxins were found in lobster antennal glands at concentrations two orders of magnitude lower than found in the hepatopancreas. This is the first report of PST in lobster antennal glands which, along with the gills, represent possible excretion routes for PST. However, PST were not detected at significant levels in the lobster haemolymph, which rules out the possibility of nondestructive sampling of lobsters for biotoxin analyses.
