Atlantic Salmon

Need

Flesh colour in Atlantic salmon is considered a fundamental, if not the most important, quality parameter, and affects acceptance and price of the product. The dietary pigments responsible for flesh colour (i.e. astaxanthin and canthaxanthin) are expensive and represent 6-8% of the total production cost. Therefore, reduced flesh colour in the stock results in considerable economic losses. Several factors have been shown to impact flesh colour (e.g. environment, diet formulation, size, genetics) highlighting the complexity underlying the variation. As variable/reduced flesh colour was identified in a portion of the Petuna stock following periods of high summer temperatures, the project focused on the possible genetic effect on the trait. Furthermore, due to a general lack of knowledge of the molecular mechanisms responsible for flesh colour and its metabolism in general, which involves multiple organs and tissues, and given the opportunity to compare good and affected individuals, such investigations were also undertaken. In light of climate change and increasing seawater temperature, understanding the genetic component of the differential response manifested as variable/reduce flesh colour following thermal stress, would pave the way for improving genetic selection and producing fish with increased thermal tolerance. Finally, detection and understanding of the variation affecting flesh colour in Atlantic salmon are fundamental in order to improve marketability of the product.

Objectives

1. Identify the type of flesh colour variations and their prevalence at Petuna and assess the magnitude of their economic impact.

2. Identify molecular events associated with reduced flesh colour in several tissues.

3. Establish if there is a correlation between genetic background and reduced flesh colour.

Summary

This report describes critical findings and new knowledge on flesh colour variation, from both a genetic and a molecular perspective, in Atlantic salmon in Tasmania. The investigation on flesh colour variation, due to its strong correlation with high seawater temperature, led to new important insights into thermal tolerance in Atlantic salmon and their performance in a context of climate change and global warming.

The project was carried out between June 2016 and June 2020 and was the result of a collaboration between the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) and Petuna Aquaculture (Petuna), initiated by Dr Mark Porter and Prof Abigail Elizur. The principal investigator of the project was Prof. Abigail Elizur (USC) and she was supported by two co-investigator, Dr. Tomer Ventura (USC) and Dr. Gianluca Amoroso (Petuna). Two additional co-investigators from USC, Dr. Chan D.H. Nguyen and Ms Thu T.M. Vo, were included at a later stage in order to carry out part of the research required for the project completion and formed part of their PhD projects. The investigation of the fish took place in northern Tasmania where Petuna owns both freshwater and marine sites and all the laboratory work was undertaken at both USC Genecology Research Centre and at Xelect, a genetic services provider based in Scotland (UK).

This project was originally designed to study an issue which is impacting commercial production in Petuna. Flesh colour variation post-summer (at times extending to harvest), had been identified during 2015-16 by Petuna to affect commercial value. As this issue is not impacting Petuna only, this project was expected to generate important knowledge on the factors which contribute to reduced flesh colour in Atlantic salmon stocks and result in significant ‘spill-over’ of information that will assist the wider Tasmanian salmon industry.

Vo, were included at a later stage in order to carry out part of the research required for the project completion and formed part of their PhD projects. The investigation of the fish took place in northern Tasmania where Petuna owns both freshwater and marine sites and all the laboratory work was undertaken at both USC Genecology Research Centre and at Xelect, a genetic services provider based in Scotland (UK).

This project was originally designed to study an issue which is impacting commercial production in Petuna. Flesh colour variation post-summer (at times extending to harvest), had been identified during 2015-16 by Petuna to affect commercial value. As this issue is not impacting Petuna only, this project was expected to generate important knowledge on the factors which contribute to reduced flesh colour in Atlantic salmon stocks and result in significant ‘spill-over’ of information that will assist the wider Tasmanian salmon industry.

Summary

This report describes critical findings and new knowledge on flesh colour variation, from both a genetic and a molecular perspective, in Atlantic salmon in Tasmania. The investigation on flesh colour variation, due to its strong correlation with high seawater temperature, led to new important insights into thermal tolerance in Atlantic salmon and their performance in a context of climate change and global warming.

The project was carried out between June 2016 and June 2020 and was the result of a collaboration between the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) and Petuna Aquaculture (Petuna), initiated by Dr Mark Porter and Prof Abigail Elizur. The principal investigator of the project was Prof. Abigail Elizur (USC) and she was supported by two co-investigator, Dr. Tomer Ventura (USC) and Dr. Gianluca Amoroso (Petuna).

The investigation on flesh colour variation, due to its strong correlation with high seawater temperature, led to new important insights into thermal tolerance in Atlantic salmon and their performance in a context of climate change and global warming.

The project was carried out between June 2016 and June 2020 and was the result of a collaboration between the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) and Petuna Aquaculture (Petuna), initiated by Dr Mark Porter and Prof Abigail Elizur. The principal investigator of the project was Prof. Abigail Elizur (USC) and she was supported by two co-investigator, Dr. Tomer Ventura (USC) and Dr. Gianluca Amoroso (Petuna). Two additional co-investigators from USC, Dr. Chan D.H. Nguyen and Ms Thu T.M. Vo, were included at a later stage in order to carry out part of the research required for the project completion and formed part of their PhD projects. The investigation of the fish took place in northern Tasmania where Petuna owns both freshwater and marine sites and all the laboratory work was undertaken at both USC Genecology Research Centre and at Xelect, a genetic services provider based in Scotland (UK).

This project was originally designed to study an issue which is impacting commercial production in Petuna. Flesh colour variation post-summer (at times extending to harvest), had been identified during 2015-16 by Petuna to affect commercial value. As this issue is not impacting Petuna only, this project was expected to generate important knowledge on the factors which contribute to reduced flesh colour in Atlantic salmon stocks and result in significant ‘spill-over’ of information that will assist the wider Tasmanian salmon industry.

As this issue is not impacting Petuna only, this project was expected to generate important knowledge on the factors which contribute to reduced flesh colour in Atlantic salmon stocks and result in significant ‘spill-over’ of information that will assist the wider Tasmanian salmon industry.

Summary

This report describes critical findings and new knowledge on flesh colour variation, from both a genetic and a molecular perspective, in Atlantic salmon in Tasmania. The investigation on flesh colour variation, due to its strong correlation with high seawater temperature, led to new important insights into thermal tolerance in Atlantic salmon and their performance in a context of climate change and global warming.

The project was carried out between June 2016 and June 2020 and was the result of a collaboration between the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) and Petuna Aquaculture (Petuna), initiated by Dr Mark Porter and Prof Abigail Elizur. The principal investigator of the project was Prof. Abigail Elizur (USC) and she was supported by two co-investigator, Dr. Tomer Ventura (USC) and Dr. Gianluca Amoroso (Petuna). Two additional co-investigators from USC, Dr. Chan D.H. Nguyen and Ms Thu T.M. Vo, were included at a later stage in order to carry out part of the research required for the project completion and formed part of their PhD projects. The investigation of the fish took place in northern Tasmania where Petuna owns both freshwater and marine sites and all the laboratory work was undertaken at both USC Genecology Research Centre and at Xelect, a genetic services provider based in Scotland (UK).

Vo, were included at a later stage in order to carry out part of the research required for the project completion and formed part of their PhD projects. The investigation of the fish took place in northern Tasmania where Petuna owns both freshwater and marine sites and all the laboratory work was undertaken at both USC Genecology Research Centre and at Xelect, a genetic services provider based in Scotland (UK).

This project was originally designed to study an issue which is impacting commercial production in Petuna. Flesh colour variation post-summer (at times extending to harvest), had been identified during 2015-16 by Petuna to affect commercial value. As this issue is not impacting Petuna only, this project was expected to generate important knowledge on the factors which contribute to reduced flesh colour in Atlantic salmon stocks and result in significant ‘spill-over’ of information that will assist the wider Tasmanian salmon industry.

Summary

This report describes critical findings and new knowledge on flesh colour variation, from both a genetic and a molecular perspective, in Atlantic salmon in Tasmania. The investigation on flesh colour variation, due to its strong correlation with high seawater temperature, led to new important insights into thermal tolerance in Atlantic salmon and their performance in a context of climate change and global warming.

The project was carried out between June 2016 and June 2020 and was the result of a collaboration between the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) and Petuna Aquaculture (Petuna), initiated by Dr Mark Porter and Prof Abigail Elizur. The principal investigator of the project was Prof. Abigail Elizur (USC) and she was supported by two co-investigator, Dr. Tomer Ventura (USC) and Dr. Gianluca Amoroso (Petuna).

The investigation on flesh colour variation, due to its strong correlation with high seawater temperature, led to new important insights into thermal tolerance in Atlantic salmon and their performance in a context of climate change and global warming.

The project was carried out between June 2016 and June 2020 and was the result of a collaboration between the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) and Petuna Aquaculture (Petuna), initiated by Dr Mark Porter and Prof Abigail Elizur. The principal investigator of the project was Prof. Abigail Elizur (USC) and she was supported by two co-investigator, Dr. Tomer Ventura (USC) and Dr. Gianluca Amoroso (Petuna). Two additional co-investigators from USC, Dr. Chan D.H. Nguyen and Ms Thu T.M. Vo, were included at a later stage in order to carry out part of the research required for the project completion and formed part of their PhD projects. The investigation of the fish took place in northern Tasmania where Petuna owns both freshwater and marine sites and all the laboratory work was undertaken at both USC Genecology Research Centre and at Xelect, a genetic services provider based in Scotland (UK).

This project was originally designed to study an issue which is impacting commercial production in Petuna. Flesh colour variation post-summer (at times extending to harvest), had been identified during 2015-16 by Petuna to affect commercial value. As this issue is not impacting Petuna only, this project was expected to generate important knowledge on the factors which contribute to reduced flesh colour in Atlantic salmon stocks and result in significant ‘spill-over’ of information that will assist the wider Tasmanian salmon industry.

As this issue is not impacting Petuna only, this project was expected to generate important knowledge on the factors which contribute to reduced flesh colour in Atlantic salmon stocks and result in significant ‘spill-over’ of information that will assist the wider Tasmanian salmon industry.

Summary

This report describes critical findings and new knowledge on flesh colour variation, from both a genetic and a molecular perspective, in Atlantic salmon in Tasmania. The investigation on flesh colour variation, due to its strong correlation with high seawater temperature, led to new important insights into thermal tolerance in Atlantic salmon and their performance in a context of climate change and global warming.

The project was carried out between June 2016 and June 2020 and was the result of a collaboration between the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) and Petuna Aquaculture (Petuna), initiated by Dr Mark Porter and Prof Abigail Elizur. The principal investigator of the project was Prof. Abigail Elizur (USC) and she was supported by two co-investigator, Dr. Tomer Ventura (USC) and Dr. Gianluca Amoroso (Petuna). Two additional co-investigators from USC, Dr. Chan D.H. Nguyen and Ms Thu T.M. Vo, were included at a later stage in order to carry out part of the research required for the project completion and formed part of their PhD projects. The investigation of the fish took place in northern Tasmania where Petuna owns both freshwater and marine sites and all the laboratory work was undertaken at both USC Genecology Research Centre and at Xelect, a genetic services provider based in Scotland (UK).

Vo, were included at a later stage in order to carry out part of the research required for the project completion and formed part of their PhD projects. The investigation of the fish took place in northern Tasmania where Petuna owns both freshwater and marine sites and all the laboratory work was undertaken at both USC Genecology Research Centre and at Xelect, a genetic services provider based in Scotland (UK).

This project was originally designed to study an issue which is impacting commercial production in Petuna. Flesh colour variation post-summer (at times extending to harvest), had been identified during 2015-16 by Petuna to affect commercial value. As this issue is not impacting Petuna only, this project was expected to generate important knowledge on the factors which contribute to reduced flesh colour in Atlantic salmon stocks and result in significant ‘spill-over’ of information that will assist the wider Tasmanian salmon industry.

Summary

This report describes critical findings and new knowledge on flesh colour variation, from both a genetic and a molecular perspective, in Atlantic salmon in Tasmania. The investigation on flesh colour variation, due to its strong correlation with high seawater temperature, led to new important insights into thermal tolerance in Atlantic salmon and their performance in a context of climate change and global warming.

The project was carried out between June 2016 and June 2020 and was the result of a collaboration between the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) and Petuna Aquaculture (Petuna), initiated by Dr Mark Porter and Prof Abigail Elizur. The principal investigator of the project was Prof. Abigail Elizur (USC) and she was supported by two co-investigator, Dr. Tomer Ventura (USC) and Dr. Gianluca Amoroso (Petuna).

The investigation on flesh colour variation, due to its strong correlation with high seawater temperature, led to new important insights into thermal tolerance in Atlantic salmon and their performance in a context of climate change and global warming.

The project was carried out between June 2016 and June 2020 and was the result of a collaboration between the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) and Petuna Aquaculture (Petuna), initiated by Dr Mark Porter and Prof Abigail Elizur. The principal investigator of the project was Prof. Abigail Elizur (USC) and she was supported by two co-investigator, Dr. Tomer Ventura (USC) and Dr. Gianluca Amoroso (Petuna). Two additional co-investigators from USC, Dr. Chan D.H. Nguyen and Ms Thu T.M. Vo, were included at a later stage in order to carry out part of the research required for the project completion and formed part of their PhD projects. The investigation of the fish took place in northern Tasmania where Petuna owns both freshwater and marine sites and all the laboratory work was undertaken at both USC Genecology Research Centre and at Xelect, a genetic services provider based in Scotland (UK).

This project was originally designed to study an issue which is impacting commercial production in Petuna. Flesh colour variation post-summer (at times extending to harvest), had been identified during 2015-16 by Petuna to affect commercial value. As this issue is not impacting Petuna only, this project was expected to generate important knowledge on the factors which contribute to reduced flesh colour in Atlantic salmon stocks and result in significant ‘spill-over’ of information that will assist the wider Tasmanian salmon industry.

As this issue is not impacting Petuna only, this project was expected to generate important knowledge on the factors which contribute to reduced flesh colour in Atlantic salmon stocks and result in significant ‘spill-over’ of information that will assist the wider Tasmanian salmon industry.

Summary

This report describes critical findings and new knowledge on flesh colour variation, from both a genetic and a molecular perspective, in Atlantic salmon in Tasmania. The investigation on flesh colour variation, due to its strong correlation with high seawater temperature, led to new important insights into thermal tolerance in Atlantic salmon and their performance in a context of climate change and global warming.

The project was carried out between June 2016 and June 2020 and was the result of a collaboration between the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) and Petuna Aquaculture (Petuna), initiated by Dr Mark Porter and Prof Abigail Elizur. The principal investigator of the project was Prof. Abigail Elizur (USC) and she was supported by two co-investigator, Dr. Tomer Ventura (USC) and Dr. Gianluca Amoroso (Petuna). Two additional co-investigators from USC, Dr. Chan D.H. Nguyen and Ms Thu T.M. Vo, were included at a later stage in order to carry out part of the research required for the project completion and formed part of their PhD projects. The investigation of the fish took place in northern Tasmania where Petuna owns both freshwater and marine sites and all the laboratory work was undertaken at both USC Genecology Research Centre and at Xelect, a genetic services provider based in Scotland (UK).

Vo, were included at a later stage in order to carry out part of the research required for the project completion and formed part of their PhD projects. The investigation of the fish took place in northern Tasmania where Petuna owns both freshwater and marine sites and all the laboratory work was undertaken at both USC Genecology Research Centre and at Xelect, a genetic services provider based in Scotland (UK).

This project was originally designed to study an issue which is impacting commercial production in Petuna. Flesh colour variation post-summer (at times extending to harvest), had been identified during 2015-16 by Petuna to affect commercial value. As this issue is not impacting Petuna only, this project was expected to generate important knowledge on the factors which contribute to reduced flesh colour in Atlantic salmon stocks and result in significant ‘spill-over’ of information that will assist the wider Tasmanian salmon industry.

Summary

This report describes critical findings and new knowledge on flesh colour variation, from both a genetic and a molecular perspective, in Atlantic salmon in Tasmania. The investigation on flesh colour variation, due to its strong correlation with high seawater temperature, led to new important insights into thermal tolerance in Atlantic salmon and their performance in a context of climate change and global warming.

The project was carried out between June 2016 and June 2020 and was the result of a collaboration between the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) and Petuna Aquaculture (Petuna), initiated by Dr Mark Porter and Prof Abigail Elizur. The principal investigator of the project was Prof. Abigail Elizur (USC) and she was supported by two co-investigator, Dr. Tomer Ventura (USC) and Dr. Gianluca Amoroso (Petuna).

The investigation on flesh colour variation, due to its strong correlation with high seawater temperature, led to new important insights into thermal tolerance in Atlantic salmon and their performance in a context of climate change and global warming.

The project was carried out between June 2016 and June 2020 and was the result of a collaboration between the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) and Petuna Aquaculture (Petuna), initiated by Dr Mark Porter and Prof Abigail Elizur. The principal investigator of the project was Prof. Abigail Elizur (USC) and she was supported by two co-investigator, Dr. Tomer Ventura (USC) and Dr. Gianluca Amoroso (Petuna). Two additional co-investigators from USC, Dr. Chan D.H. Nguyen and Ms Thu T.M. Vo, were included at a later stage in order to carry out part of the research required for the project completion and formed part of their PhD projects. The investigation of the fish took place in northern Tasmania where Petuna owns both freshwater and marine sites and all the laboratory work was undertaken at both USC Genecology Research Centre and at Xelect, a genetic services provider based in Scotland (UK).

This project was originally designed to study an issue which is impacting commercial production in Petuna. Flesh colour variation post-summer (at times extending to harvest), had been identified during 2015-16 by Petuna to affect commercial value. As this issue is not impacting Petuna only, this project was expected to generate important knowledge on the factors which contribute to reduced flesh colour in Atlantic salmon stocks and result in significant ‘spill-over’ of information that will assist the wider Tasmanian salmon industry.

As this issue is not impacting Petuna only, this project was expected to generate important knowledge on the factors which contribute to reduced flesh colour in Atlantic salmon stocks and result in significant ‘spill-over’ of information that will assist the wider Tasmanian salmon industry.

Summary

This report describes critical findings and new knowledge on flesh colour variation, from both a genetic and a molecular perspective, in Atlantic salmon in Tasmania. The investigation on flesh colour variation, due to its strong correlation with high seawater temperature, led to new important insights into thermal tolerance in Atlantic salmon and their performance in a context of climate change and global warming.

The project was carried out between June 2016 and June 2020 and was the result of a collaboration between the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) and Petuna Aquaculture (Petuna), initiated by Dr Mark Porter and Prof Abigail Elizur. The principal investigator of the project was Prof. Abigail Elizur (USC) and she was supported by two co-investigator, Dr. Tomer Ventura (USC) and Dr. Gianluca Amoroso (Petuna). Two additional co-investigators from USC, Dr. Chan D.H. Nguyen and Ms Thu T.M. Vo, were included at a later stage in order to carry out part of the research required for the project completion and formed part of their PhD projects. The investigation of the fish took place in northern Tasmania where Petuna owns both freshwater and marine sites and all the laboratory work was undertaken at both USC Genecology Research Centre and at Xelect, a genetic services provider based in Scotland (UK).

Vo, were included at a later stage in order to carry out part of the research required for the project completion and formed part of their PhD projects. The investigation of the fish took place in northern Tasmania where Petuna owns both freshwater and marine sites and all the laboratory work was undertaken at both USC Genecology Research Centre and at Xelect, a genetic services provider based in Scotland (UK).

This project was originally designed to study an issue which is impacting commercial production in Petuna. Flesh colour variation post-summer (at times extending to harvest), had been identified during 2015-16 by Petuna to affect commercial value. As this issue is not impacting Petuna only, this project was expected to generate important knowledge on the factors which contribute to reduced flesh colour in Atlantic salmon stocks and result in significant ‘spill-over’ of information that will assist the wider Tasmanian salmon industry.

Summary

This report describes critical findings and new knowledge on flesh colour variation, from both a genetic and a molecular perspective, in Atlantic salmon in Tasmania. The investigation on flesh colour variation, due to its strong correlation with high seawater temperature, led to new important insights into thermal tolerance in Atlantic salmon and their performance in a context of climate change and global warming.

The project was carried out between June 2016 and June 2020 and was the result of a collaboration between the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) and Petuna Aquaculture (Petuna), initiated by Dr Mark Porter and Prof Abigail Elizur. The principal investigator of the project was Prof. Abigail Elizur (USC) and she was supported by two co-investigator, Dr. Tomer Ventura (USC) and Dr. Gianluca Amoroso (Petuna).

The investigation on flesh colour variation, due to its strong correlation with high seawater temperature, led to new important insights into thermal tolerance in Atlantic salmon and their performance in a context of climate change and global warming.

The project was carried out between June 2016 and June 2020 and was the result of a collaboration between the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) and Petuna Aquaculture (Petuna), initiated by Dr Mark Porter and Prof Abigail Elizur. The principal investigator of the project was Prof. Abigail Elizur (USC) and she was supported by two co-investigator, Dr. Tomer Ventura (USC) and Dr. Gianluca Amoroso (Petuna). Two additional co-investigators from USC, Dr. Chan D.H. Nguyen and Ms Thu T.M. Vo, were included at a later stage in order to carry out part of the research required for the project completion and formed part of their PhD projects. The investigation of the fish took place in northern Tasmania where Petuna owns both freshwater and marine sites and all the laboratory work was undertaken at both USC Genecology Research Centre and at Xelect, a genetic services provider based in Scotland (UK).

This project was originally designed to study an issue which is impacting commercial production in Petuna. Flesh colour variation post-summer (at times extending to harvest), had been identified during 2015-16 by Petuna to affect commercial value. As this issue is not impacting Petuna only, this project was expected to generate important knowledge on the factors which contribute to reduced flesh colour in Atlantic salmon stocks and result in significant ‘spill-over’ of information that will assist the wider Tasmanian salmon industry.

As this issue is not impacting Petuna only, this project was expected to generate important knowledge on the factors which contribute to reduced flesh colour in Atlantic salmon stocks and result in significant ‘spill-over’ of information that will assist the wider Tasmanian salmon industry.

Summary

This report describes critical findings and new knowledge on flesh colour variation, from both a genetic and a molecular perspective, in Atlantic salmon in Tasmania. The investigation on flesh colour variation, due to its strong correlation with high seawater temperature, led to new important insights into thermal tolerance in Atlantic salmon and their performance in a context of climate change and global warming.

The project was carried out between June 2016 and June 2020 and was the result of a collaboration between the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) and Petuna Aquaculture (Petuna), initiated by Dr Mark Porter and Prof Abigail Elizur. The principal investigator of the project was Prof. Abigail Elizur (USC) and she was supported by two co-investigator, Dr. Tomer Ventura (USC) and Dr. Gianluca Amoroso (Petuna). Two additional co-investigators from USC, Dr. Chan D.H. Nguyen and Ms Thu T.M. Vo, were included at a later stage in order to carry out part of the research required for the project completion and formed part of their PhD projects. The investigation of the fish took place in northern Tasmania where Petuna owns both freshwater and marine sites and all the laboratory work was undertaken at both USC Genecology Research Centre and at Xelect, a genetic services provider based in Scotland (UK).

Vo, were included at a later stage in order to carry out part of the research required for the project completion and formed part of their PhD projects. The investigation of the fish took place in northern Tasmania where Petuna owns both freshwater and marine sites and all the laboratory work was undertaken at both USC Genecology Research Centre and at Xelect, a genetic services provider based in Scotland (UK).

This project was originally designed to study an issue which is impacting commercial production in Petuna. Flesh colour variation post-summer (at times extending to harvest), had been identified during 2015-16 by Petuna to affect commercial value. As this issue is not impacting Petuna only, this project was expected to generate important knowledge on the factors which contribute to reduced flesh colour in Atlantic salmon stocks and result in significant ‘spill-over’ of information that will assist the wider Tasmanian salmon industry.

Summary

This report describes critical findings and new knowledge on flesh colour variation, from both a genetic and a molecular perspective, in Atlantic salmon in Tasmania. The investigation on flesh colour variation, due to its strong correlation with high seawater temperature, led to new important insights into thermal tolerance in Atlantic salmon and their performance in a context of climate change and global warming.

The project was carried out between June 2016 and June 2020 and was the result of a collaboration between the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) and Petuna Aquaculture (Petuna), initiated by Dr Mark Porter and Prof Abigail Elizur.

Need

Traditional inhabitants from Torres Strait partly or fully own fisheries in the region. In addition to owning or
working in fisheries businesses, some individuals are occasionally involved in research and play a key role in sustainably managing living resources in the region, with several i serving as members on Resource Management Groups (RAGs), Working Groups or in reviewing scientific research proposals as part of the TSSAC. It is therefore important to ensure industry members are up to date with recent developments updated information about fisheries from around the world and are prepared to participate and present their work in these international fora.

This proposal seeks to build capacity in the Torres Strait Fisheries Industry through the active engagement of industry members and CSIRO scientists transferring and sharing knowledge to collaboratively prepare and deliver scientific talks for three major international fisheries-related conferences:
• Marine Socio-Ecological Systems Conference (Japan),
• World Fisheries Congress (Adelaide),
• 12th International Conference and Workshop on Lobster Biology & Management (Fremantle)).

This opportunity will also deepen understanding of scientific approaches and exposure to the latest scientific and technological advances and build capacity of Torres Strait Industry Representatives through co-authoring talks with CSIRO researchers and attending international fisheries conferences to facilitate knowledge exchange and networking.

Objectives

1. Provide opportunities to Torres Strait Industry Representatives to learn about latest developments in fisheries research and management and build capacity through co-authoring talks with CSIRO researchers and attending international fishries conferences

Summary

This report presents the results of a collaborative science capacity building project involving CSIRO researchers and Torres Strait Islander Fishing Industry representatives. Project participants worked together in the development and delivery of science capacity building programs tailored to each of the individual Torres Strait participants. The program was explicitly about Indigenous knowledge and perspective around fisheries management from western science, where scientists also had the opportunity to learn and discuss ways forward in combining these two knowledge systems. Torres Strait Island Industry representatives had the opportunity to co-write conference abstracts and present at international fisheries conferences, State and Indigenous fora and attend formal training in aquaculture.

Need

In the face of mounting pressure on Australia’s marine and freshwater ecosystems, there is a continuing need for robust scientific information to support the sustainable development and management of our aquatic resources. The ASFB is Australasia’s premier professional association for fish and fisheries researchers. The annual science conference makes an important and tangible contribution to skill development of people involved in fish and fisheries research and management, particularly offering students and early career researchers opportunities to present their work, interact with peers and develop collaborative links. The ASFB has a strong commitment to promoting and communicating science, encouraging sustainable management practices, encouraging excellence in fisheries research, and recognizing outstanding contributions of scientists and professionals through various awards and scholarships. Additionally, the ASFB has recognised the need for increased international engagement via increased active involvement with in particular World Council of Fisheries Societies and with the American Fisheries Society.
This proposal is seeking sponsorship support for the annual science conference in 2020 (virtual conference due to COVID-19 restrictions), 2021 (WFS congress, Adelaide), 2022 (Joint congress with Indo-Pacific Conference, Auckland) and a series of conference associated awards that support student travel and recognise research excellence. The proposal addresses three people development program goals, namely (i) to encourage knowledge transfer and R&D adoption (ASFB annual science conference) and (ii) to recognise and promote achievements (ASFB awards) and (iii) to enhance industry leadership (bringing together a range of people for the annual conference). These activities will encourage participation and exchange of information and provide an opportunity to develop networks and collaborations with outside organisations. In addition, we also seek support to hold an event at the WFC in Adelaide to celebrate the Society’s 50th year and promote the achievements of Australia and New Zealand’s fish and fisheries science over the last 50 years.

Objectives

1. Provide a forum for researchers, managers and stakeholders to meet to discuss issues relevant to fish and fisheries science and management

2. Support, encourage and recognise achievements of early career researchers

3. Support and encourage student participation at ASFB's annual science conference and key international conferences

4. Support and promote the ASFB 50th anniversary at the WFC 2021

5. Increased international profile of ASFB via greater participation in activities of World Fisheries Council and planning for World Fisheries Congress

Summary

The Australian Society for Fish Biology (ASFB) was founded in 1971 and is a professional, independent, non-profit, non-commercial and non-aligned organisation. The Society’s objectives are to promote research, education and management of fish and fisheries and to provide a forum for the exchange of information. The Society promotes an egalitarian and welcoming atmosphere; encourages participation by all members, particularly students; promotes the use of fish research (as defined in the broadest sense) and management of fisheries and aquatic systems; provides access to expertise on fish and fisheries; facilitates professional networks and assists with career development and promotes discussion and workshops on topics of relevance and interest.
The operations of the Society are supported by an Executive Council, with membership representing all States and Territories, New Zealand and student members, and a senior Executive team (President, Vice president, immediate Past President, Secretary, Treasurer). The Society also has a number of active Committees: Education, Alien fishes, Threatened Fishes, Fisheries Management, Future of the Society, and the newest committee on Fish Welfare. These committees report to the Executive and members (see website links for the Terms of Reference for each committee).
Annual conferences/workshops have been held each year since the Society's inception and provide a forum for scientists, managers, and industry from around Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere to meet and discuss the most recent developments in fish and fisheries science and management. The Society has also hosted a number of successful international conferences, including the 2nd World Fisheries Congress (1996), World Congress on Aquatic Protected Areas (2002) and 8th Indo Pacific Fish Conference (2009). The Society has also hosted a number of successful workshops, with the aim of focussing on a particular technical area or subject for discussion. The Society has a National Conference/Workshop coordinator, to assist future local organising committees and ensure corporate knowledge in this area is maintained.

Need

The seafood industry is facing unprecedented challenges (WAFIC 2020 Strategy, FRDC R&D 2015). The networks established by CESSH have laid a strong foundation to attract national and international investment partners. For the first time, the whole industry along the supply chain and post harvest is working together to achieve outcomes that benefit the WA (and national seafood industry) and the health of the Australian population. It is essential that the industry is able to remain viable and indeed grow, within the constraints of an ever changing economic, technological and food security landscape. There is a need for a continued go-to place that the industry can access to gain support to develop new products, investigate novel and improved means of harvest, reduce production costs and provide evidence of the value of consuming seafood. CESSH needs to build on existing strong capacity areas and establish expertise in areas that are currently not available in WA to service the growing and diverse needs of industry. This could afford industry a point of difference in the provision of world class support to answer research and science questions that impact on growth, quality or profitability in a timely fashion, an essential service for a primary industry.

Objectives

1. Sub Program 1: Waste minimisation and management - optimisation of supply chains to reduce waste

total utilisation of seafood products

and innovative product development from under-utilised species

2. Sub Program 2: Retailer 2020 - Develop an understanding of multi-channel consumer retail environments (current and future trends) to support Australian businesses to capitalise on new and emerging oppoprtunities.

3. Sub Program 3: Food policy research - maintain currency of expertise and knowledge in: regulation of food labelling and food laws

nutrition and health claims

nutritional dietary guidelines and the human health benefits of seafood to inform industry marketing initiatives and nutritional claims

4. Sub Program 4: Research advisory service - Develop a technical advice service to provide assistance along the supply chain

assist and upskill industry to apply for research funds

provide food technology advice (e.g. nutritional composition)

provide health benefit advice to industry (market advantage)

and develop tailored industry and consumer resources.

5. Sub Program 5 - Education, communication and extension - respond to industry post harvest training needs

inform industry of relevant research findings in a variety of formats appropriate to the end-users

and build post harvest research and scientific capacity that is imbedded within the industry.

6. Sub Program 6 - Collaborative manufacturing hub - investigate and trial collaborative manufacturing hubs to reduce costs and maximise efficiencies in developing and commercialising new products
