Flinders University: Australian Seafood CRC: Antiviral activity and resistance to Abalone Viral Ganglioneuritis
Internal Closing Date: 29-08-2008
Abalone Viral Ganglioneuritis (AVG) is currently decimating populations in Victoria and nationally threatens the abalone fishing and aquaculture industries. This project seeks to address whether abalone can carry this virus without displaying clinical signs and determine whether abalone have differential antiviral activity that correlates with disease resistance. Overall, this project will enhance biosecurity preparedness and response in the abalone industries through the detection and development of AVG-resistant, AVG virus-free populations. The use of virus resistant stock in abalone breeding programs for farming and restocking of field populations will reduce mortality and increase the overall productivity of abalone industries in Australia.

Flinders University: Australian Seafood CRC: Penaeid Prawn Sex Determination and Developing Monosex Induction Strategies for Commercial Application
Internal Closing Date: 15-08-2008
Flinders University and The Australian Seafood CRC invite applications for a PhD Scholarship. This project aims to identify and characterise sex determination in penaeids including the confirmation of the hypothesis of female heterogamety. The project will develop and optimise techniques such as gynogenesis (the generation of uni-parental maternal only inheritance) and sex reversal, which are valuable tools for the elucidation of the genetic basis of sex determination. This project will also have significant impact on industry as it will identify avenues for substantially improving farm profits by producing all-female populations.
