Australian Agrifood Data Exchange (OzAg Data Exchange): Deliver an interconnected data highway for Australia's AgriFood value chain

Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC)

Although the use of data and analytics is becoming more widespread across Australian agricultural industries and institutions, the sector is held back by the lack of a consolidated data platform that combines multiple data sets from multiple data sources in real time. This project aims to assist in creating an...

Investigating the use of a remote operated underwater vehicle (ROUV) for surveying abalone on reefs in the Western zone abalone fishery, Victoria.

Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC)

Wild abalone off the coast of Cape Nelson, Victoria have tested positive to a disease called Abalone Virus Ganglioneuritis (AVG). AVG affects the nervous system of abalone which results in the curling of the foot and swelling of the mouth. This leads to weakness and a 90% mortality rate in...

Indigenous Branding in the Fishing and Seafood Industry - Economic Creation and Capture

Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC)

Indigenous people are increasingly the owners of commercial fishing licenses, and the operators of fishery businesses. But in wholesale markets their harvests compete on price per kilogram with every other fisher’s product. If they lack business scale or are not productive and commercially agile, their commercial business will not survive....

Accelerating Greenlip Abalone stock recovery in South Australia using release of hatchery-reared juveniles: Phase 1 - genetics risk assessment and preliminary cost-benefit analysis

Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC)

There are areas of the Western Zone Abalone Fishery where Greenlip Abalone are depleting, with biomass levels well below carrying capacity and historical levels. Some areas may not recover quickly without intervention and recovery may be further impeded by climate change. Thus, the Western Zone wild-catch abalone industry is seeking...

Future proofing the Southern Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus maccoyii) Industry by developing new products for new markets

Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC)

Recent environmental changes have modified the summer distribution of southern bluefin tuna (SBT, Thunnus maccoyii) in South Australia. This has affected the timing and location of fishing activity and contributed to adverse economic impacts, at the same time as international competition is lowering value of the catch. The SBT fishery...
