Abstract Marine heatwaves pose an increasing threat to fisheries and aquaculture around the world under climate change. However, has not been estimated for coming decades in a form that meets needs of these industries. Tasmanian southeast Australia have severely impacted by marine recent years, especially oyster, abalone, salmon In series semi-structured interviews with key fishery stakeholders, information was gathered about following: (i) impacts they experienced date from heatwaves, (ii)...
Paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) in bivalve molluscs represent a public health risk and are controlled via compliance with regulatory limit of 0.8 mg saxitoxin (STX)⋅2HCl equivalents per kilogram meat (eq/kg). Shellfish industries would benefit from the use rapid immunological screening tests for PSTs to be used regulation, but date none have been fully validated. An interlaboratory study involving 16 laboratories was performed determine suitability Neogen test detect mussels oysters....
This is the first study to examine effect of three different cultivation methods (bottom-tray culture, suspended-tray and beach/bottom culture) on growth survival rates snout otter clam, Lutraria philippinarum, after 12 months grow-out from seed commercial size. Analyses included weight, survival, shell size, total fat. Although results showed limited differences in among methods, were significantly culture methods. The bottom-tray method had highest rate (76.5%), compared with (31.6%)...
Aquaculture mollusc production is predominantly from Asia, with more than 80% of the total biomass produced in China. Vietnam’s annual growing rapidly but comparatively small given its coastal resources. A significant challenge for future production, and oysters particular, supply high-quality spat. Most spat Vietnam comes local wild sources or imported Particularly case oysters, where collection low importation oyster into other jurisdictions not controlled, unreliable presents a...
Warm ocean temperature extremes, including marine heatwaves, have profound impacts on natural systems and aquaculture industries across the globe. In Tasmania, Australia, one industry that has been significantly impacted by warm temperatures is Pacific Oyster (Magallana gigas, previously named Crassostrea gigas) farming, due to recurring outbreaks of virus Ostreid herpesvirus 1. Such viral are understood be driven high seawater temperatures, but threshold or duration for triggering disease...
Abstract Detection of paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) in bivalve by analytical methods is complicated and costly, requiring specific expertise equipment. Following extensive blooms Alexandrium tamarense Group 1 Tasmania, Australia, an investigation was made into commercially available screening test kits suitable for use with the toxin profiles found affected bivalves. The qualitative Neogen rapid kit, a modified protocol to convert gonyautoxins GTX1&4 GTX2&3 neosaxitoxin saxitoxin...
Paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) produced by marine dinoflagellates significantly impact industries worldwide. Early detection on-farm and with minimal training would allow additional time for management decisions to minimize economic losses. Here, we describe test a standardized workflow based on the of sxtA4, an initial gene in biosynthesis PSTs. The is simple inexpensive does not require specialized laboratory. It consists (1) water collection filtration using custom gravity sampler, (2)...
<title>Abstract</title> Electromicrobial production systems, which use electrons from renewable energy sources to drive microbial metabolism towards desired products, are considered a promising strategy for future conversion and sustainable synthesis technologies. However, electron transport microbes remains critical yet poorly understood process. This hinders the rational design of these systems viable efficiencies. Here, we report construction an efficient redox power-transport unit that...
