• Increase production• Hold/add value• Increase investment
Finfish Theme - Target Outcomes
Finfish Theme - Highlights
• Yellowtail Kingfish– A suite of projects delivering outputs over the next 2 years
• Prawn floc technology– Diatom blooms the key
• Aquaculture Innovation Hub– Promote collaboration– Includes finfish & shellfish hatchery networks
• Cobia consortium– It’s the market – stupid!!
Finfish Theme - Highlights
• Domesticate all stocks
• Genetic improvements
• Promote adoption
• Increase cooperation
Breeding for Profit Theme - Outcomes
• New breeding programs– Yellowtail Kingfish– Barramundi– Banana prawn
• Value adding technology• Communal projects
– MAS, software tools, gene banking, genetic markers
• Nofima exchange project

• Fisheries management for economic benefit
• Novel management strategies
• Technical efficiency improvements
Future Harvest – Target outcomes
• Rocklobster translocation– Translocation with minimum cost– Translocated lobsters remain resident– Change colour and grow well– Earnings growths10% pa (worth $560
million over 15 years)– Bioeconomic model being used for
management decisions for profit– 9 of 12 recommendations endorsed
• Slow progress on new projects

• Well underway
• Good industry/researcher involvement & collaboration
• Almost on track for CRC Outputs & Milestones
• Significant outputs for end-users
• Future Harvest slower than expected
• Education and training (esp. BFP & FH)
• 3rd year review– Hitting milestones & delivering outputs– Planning for next generation projects
Summary & Key opportunities
Forthcoming events
• Tuna propagation symposium (Adelaide Dec 1-2)
• Aquaculture Innovation Hub (Adelaide Dec 2-3)
• CRC Program Forum (Adelaide – Feb 10/11)
• Australasian Aquaculture 2010 (Hobart – May 24-26)
