A component of ACIAR project FIS 2001/075 ‘Sustainable aquaculture development in the Pacific Islands region and northern Australia’ is the transfer of sea cucumber production technology to Australia. The project focused on NFC staff training in the production of sandfish (Holothuria scabra) and assessed the use of this species as a bioremediator in . . . → Read More: Aquaculture production-Crabs and Sea cucumber Aquaculture research of the tropical rock lobster (Panulirus ornatus) has continued to refine larval rearing technology in collaboration with our longterm partners—MG Kailis and FRDC—at the DPI&F NFC, Cairns. The successful production of pueruli (post-larval lobsters) in June 2006 has not been reproduced, and the failure of many larvae to progress through metamorphosis . . . → Read More: Aquaculture production-Tropical rock lobster Estuary cod The tropical marine finfish (TMF) project has continued to increase its focus on industry development and the extension of marine finfish culture technology. In 2006–07, approximately 30 000 juvenile fish were supplied to industry for pond-based growout using existing prawn farm infrastructure. The majority of these fish were estuary . . . → Read More: Aquaculture production-Tropical marine finfish The identification of gene coding for important commercial traits in prawns was undertaken using a microarray approach. Both the available crab microarray has been used, as well as a specific prawn microarray that been constructed and used to examine genes associated with reproductive performance and fecundity. Research into creating an all-female black tiger . . . → Read More: Aquaculture production-Prawn research Information has been analysed to provide a regional overview of the aquaculture industry in Queensland. The regions are based on the statistical divisions adopted by the Australian Bureau of Census and Statistics. The information presented in Tables 20 to 24 was compiled from the annual statistical returns received from licensed aquaculture producers. The totals . . . → Read More: Aquaculture production survey-Regional summary The value of the pearl oyster industry in Queensland continues to fluctuate as some of the farms rebuild stocks of nucleated pearls. Four farms reported information this year. The value of the industry has been included in the sundry category throughout the report. Twelve pearl culture areas (PCAs) were surveyed and responses were received . . . → Read More: Aquaculture production survey-Pearl and Edible oyster culture |
