Reducing impacts of threatened, endangered, and protected species in the Queensland East Coast Otter Trawl Fishery
Naomi Gardiner - Marine Biology & Aquaculture
01 Jul 2024 - 10 Apr 2026
This project collaboration with QLD Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF) seeks to reduce the impacts of trawl fisheries on marine species of concern in Queensland. In particular sea snakes, sharks and rays. The objective of the JCU part of the program is to develop and trial (1) a crew member observer program (CMOP) and, (2) training in safe handling practices of seasnakes.
Characterising the complete reproductive proteome of two high-value aquaculture species using advanced proteomic techniques
Jarrod Guppy - Marine Biology & Aquaculture
19 Jun 2024 - 31 Dec 2024
This 2024 CSTFA Early Career Researcher Development project combines the multidisciplinary skills (applied reproductive biology and proteomics) of two of CSTFA ECR’s, Dr Jarrod Guppy (CSE) and Dr Shaymaviswanathan Karnaneedi (CPHMVS). This project will apply proteomics for the study of the reproductive biology of two commerically important finfish species. This will provide critical information to guide the development of improved and novel breeding techniques these aquaculture species.
