Survey of Enterprise-level Biosecurity across the Australian Aquaculture Industry

This project undertakes an enterprise-level survey of biosecurity knowledge, attitudes and current and future implementation plans the eight Australian aquaculture industry sectors (abalone, barramundi, edible oyster, pearl oyster, prawns, salmonids, southern bluefin tuna, and/or yellowtail kingfish). It will establish a baseline understanding of biosecurity knowledge across the Australian aquaculture industry sectors and identify the need for provision of support to develop and implement enterprise-level biosecurity plans, as well as the most suitable approach(es) to address those needs. The overall project will then further develop and implement a support program to assist Australian aquaculture producers to prepare and carry-out enterprise-level biosecurity plans.
