Development of a national sector-specific biosecurity plan guideline and template for the sea-cage finfish (non-salmonid) industry of Australia.
The sea-cage aquaculture industry (tuna, kingfish and cobia) currently does not have a set of nationally consistent biosecurity guidelines and templates to assist farmers with the development of on-farm biosecurity plans. However, an industry-wide biosecurity plan is a crucial component of health accreditation programs to facilitate inter-state and international trade in aquatic animals. This project will address this issue by developing an industry-endorsed, draft national sector-specific biosecurity plan with associated guidelines and templates for the Australian sea-cage aquaculture industry (includes tuna, kingfish and cobia).
