FRDC Sponsorship International Symposium for Genetics in Aquaculture XIII (Old ID 24782)
Dean Jerry
17 Jul 2018 - 20 Jul 2018
FRDC has provided sponsorship to ISGA to support travel costs for an internationally renowned plenary speaker in the application of biotechnology and synthetic biological solutions to future aquaculture production (ie CRISPR/TALEN gene editing. RNAi etc) to provide bursaries for participants from Australian industry/researchers to attend the conference and to cover costs associated with an industry tour to showcase to delegates examples of Australian tropical aquaculture.
Rapid and secure deployment of SWIRLnet (Old ID 21855)
David Henderson
01 Oct 2014 - 30 Jun 2016
Research into terrain effects on cyclonic wind speeds within several local government regions. Site analysis for locations required along with installation of secure foundation for rapid deployment of anemometers and associated equipment.
Growing a profitable, innovative, collaborative Yellowtail Kingfish industry: bringing 'white' fish to the market - RnD4Profit (Old ID 22475)
Dean Jerry
01 Jul 2015 - 31 Jan 2019
The K4P project is focused on growing the key existing Australian YTK industry participants, as well as the industry as a whole, and directly addresses FRDS's new strategic plan to build Australian sustainable aquaculture development through the activities of the "new and Emerging Aquaculture Opportunities' (NEAO) Subprogram. The K4P project also aligns with the National marine Science Plan to grow the blue economy, and the national Aquaculture Statement and Strategy to grow Australian aquaculture production and better coordinate fisheries and aquaculture R&D resources nationally.
Redundant or Resilient? The impact of cyclones on Great Barrier Reef Marine Reserves and herbivorous fish communities (Old ID 22550)
Eva McClure
15 Feb 2016 - 31 Dec 2016
Marine Reserves are implemented on coral reefs globally to conserve biodiversity and sustain fisheries, and are an important management tool on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. The proposed project will investigate how severe cyclonic disturbances modify coral reefs, their associated fish assemblages, and the performance of Marine Reserves. By surveying a variety of Marine Park Zones across the continental shelf, this project will determine whether Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Zoning and location influences the recovery of coral reef benthic and fish communities following cyclone damage. This information is of critical importance to coral reef managers both nationally and internationally.
Dating the collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet using next generation sequencing of marine invertebrates (Old ID 23048)
Jan Strugnell
01 Dec 2016 - 30 Jun 2019
This proposal applies a novel biological approach to address a key question for physical scientists. There is great uncertainty in predictions of future sea level rise and recent modelling suggests that forced displacement of over 180 million people this century is conceivable. Predicting the fate of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is central for accurate sea level predictions The complete collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet would lead to the existence of a trans-Antarctic seaway linking the present day Ross, Weddell and Amundsen Seas. Such a seaway would allow marine animal migration across newly opened straights, and a persistent genetic signature of historical connectivity of such events will remain in bottom dwelling animals.
Development of digital apps to facilitate insurance eligibility verification and post-event claim filing for Fijian homeowners - TASK 1 Design software framework and logic flow (Old ID 26517)
Daniel Smith
15 May 2019 - 30 Sep 2019
This project follows on from CTS developing a structural engineering basis for vulnerability models for different housing types in Fiji, for the World Bank and Tower Insurance. The scope covers stage 1 of a 6 stage program to develop digital applications for use by Fijian homeowners to: (a) seek eligibility for cyclone (wind damage) insurance; and (b) initiate claims post event.
Missing and endangered frog surveys and recovery (Old ID 26825)
Conrad Hoskin
01 May 2020 - 31 Dec 2021
This project will survey remote areas, particularly in the Eungella region, to try rediscover an extinct species and also find additional populations of endangered species. Where populations are discovered, detailed population estimates will be made and recovery actions will be formulated.
Coral analysis and NQBP intern framework (Old ID 27153)
Nathan Waltham
08 Feb 2021 - 30 Mar 2021
The partnership agreement between James Cook University and North Queensland Bulk Ports incorporates a pipeline for students to participate in an internship training and education program. This project will include preparation of an information package for students, and a framework to capture and report key learning experiences by students participating in the internship program. Preparation of this framework and package will be used when future students participate in the program. The project will also include the analysis and reporting of coral data collected under the partnership program more broadly.
Mackay & Hay Point Marine Water Quality Monitoring (Old ID 21645)
Nathan Waltham
30 May 2014 - 30 Nov 2017
This project delivers a 12 month water quality sampling and monitoring program within the region of Port of Mackay and Hay Point. In conjunction with the field sampling, sediment plume modelling, using MODIS, will be completed to further characterise water quality conditions within the study area. This characterisation of water quality conditions will assist in the management of the ports and dredging operations planned for this region under the direction of North Queensland Bulk Ports.
Ecology and behaviour of feral cats in the Wet Tropics (Old ID 22929)
Ben Hirsch
01 Sep 2016 - 31 Dec 2017
This project will investigate the behaviour and ecology of feral cats in the Australian wet tropics region using motion sensitive cameras and GPS collars. The goal is to understand the ecological and conservation impacts of these introduced predators across the wet tropics. In addition to generating high profile scientific publications, this project will generate important recommendations for the conservation and management of the wet tropics.
