Burdekin wetlands restoration research. (Old ID 27072)
Wetlands provide some many services and values, yet are under pressure from continuing and expanding land use change. North Queensland Dry Tropics (NQDT) are implementing a range of restoration projects to improve the Burdekin floodplain, and have engaged TropWATER to complete wetland restoration monitoring to measure and evaluate the success of these works. This monitoring will cover fish sampling, water and sediment chemistry, aquatic plant assessments and hydrology. The data will provide NQDT with information to assist with further works and funding on the horizon.
Molecular-based method for the quantification of in situ crown-of-thorns starfish settlement rates (Old ID 27772)
This research will develop and validate an innovative protocol for the quantification of in situ crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) settlement rates. DNA spiked samples will be analysed using two different DNA extraction methods and droplet digital PCR to determine relative method performance and sub-sampling requirements. Analyses of control samples collected outside the reproductive season may provide additional method validation by ruling out sample contamination by waterborne DNA originating from adult COTS. This work will facilitate future research to resolve critical information gaps and improve the ecological underpinning of COTS management.
Rapid iteration selective breeding: Australia's fish to feed the world (Old ID 23446)
Barramundi - Australia’s favourite fish – is gaining popularity worldwide as a farmed solution for supply of white fish. The world needs a sustainable source of white fish, as current supply comes from declining wild catch fisheries. Industrial scale farming offers a solution. Success relies on improved seed stock and the Australian Barramundi industry in conjunction with the CRC-P program is tackling this challenge by applying advanced modern genetics to Australia’s barramundi breeding stocks.
Virtual Reality 3D First Aid Training Scene Capture Solution (Old ID 23632)
To provide a much more immersive experience for first aid training, the funding body - Rescue Swag is seeking a solution to replace the conventional 2D first aid scene capture solution. This project is aiming at design a 3D stereoscopic shooting solution using the high definition camera, including both system design, hardware and software solutions. At the end of this project, a system will be experience, and improve the training outcomes.
FRDC Sponsorship International Symposium for Genetics in Aquaculture XIII (Old ID 24782)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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.
