Abalone Viral Ganglioneuritis (AVG) R&D Needs Workshop
Abalone Viral Ganglioneuritis (AVG) disease is caused by a herpesvirus and was first detected in Victoria in December 2005. Since May 2021, cases of AVG in Victoria have been confirmed as far east as Cape Otway and as far west as the Discovery Bay Marine Park. While the virus is active there is a need for the Victorian wild catch abalone fishers to urgently review past research, analyse any gaps, and investigate current biosecurity protocols and options for surveillance and diagnostic tools to aid rapid detection, to future proof the industry. A workshop will be organised to evaluate, assess and implement research findings and if further gaps are identified, develop a framework to action.
