Tasmanian Atlantic Salmon Research, Development and Extension Management

The Tasmanian salmon farming industry has undergone exceptional production and profitability gains in its short history and has ambitious targets for the future. To achieve this, expanding the scope of the research and development program is vital but this is challenged by a range of complexities which call for its active management by industry bodies (FRDC and the Tasmanian Salmonid Growers Association (TSGA)). This project will assist this process by: 1. coordinating Atlantic salmon farming RD&E planning and management ensuring it is strategically prioritised to address Industry needs and delivered in a cost-effective manner; 2. communicating information and the extension of R&D outputs to support and promote the adoption of new technologies and scientific developments; and 3. updating the industry’s RD&E Strategy to guide future research.
