Blue carbon and the Australian seafood industry: workshop

The Australian seafood industry aspires to continue improving its sustainability in many areas, including reducing its carbon emissions and ultimately achieving carbon neutrality. However, the mechanisms to allow the seafood industry to pursue this are poorly developed. This investment will facilitate a meeting of key seafood industry stakeholders to inform stakeholders about the current state of knowledge and opportunities and determine the extent to which the industry aspires to be carbon neutral and whether blue carbon investments are perceived to be relevant. The workshop will identify the major impediments to the industry achieving its desired goals, and plan concrete actions that can be taken to achieve them.

People development program: Aquatic animal health training scheme - Dr Susan Kueh

Lack of easy access to fish health veterinary services is limiting the expansion of aquaculture in Western Australia. This project will fund a Principal Investigator to complete an intensive aquatic animal health fellowship program at the The Australian College of Veterinary Scientists to benefit the fisheries industry.

Oysters Australia IPA: Australian edible oyster RD&E investment via Oysters Australia strategic plan 2014-2019

This project, an Industry Partnership Agreement (IPA) between Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC) and Oysters Australia (OA), was instigated to manage project development between and within OA's member states and co-ordinate access to the most suitable funding sources for RD&E goals. During the life of the four-year project, 33 oyster R&D projects to the value of $10.1 million were conducted, with the IPA involved in all but three projects.

Understanding flesh colour variation in Atlantic salmon: Molecular mechanisms and genetic effect

This project made critical findings on flesh colour variation in Atlantic Salmon in Tasmania. The investigation into the correlation of colour variation with high seawater temperature delivered new insights into thermal tolerance and genetics in Atlantic salmon, and their performance in a context of climate change and global warming.
