A relocation of coastal, shallow-water fish farms into deep offshore waters benefits the industry in three ways: it puts fish into colder water it dilutes the rain of organic waste that reaches the seafloor underneath and in the vicinity [...]
Biofouling, the growth of unwanted organisms on submerged surfaces, is a big issue in the aquaculture sector with large direct costs of cleaning and indirect costs of reduced animal welfare and infrastructure damage. My project will aim to introduce [...]
This project aims to exploit filter feeding bivalves as a natural eDNA sampling medium to determine the presence of some of the most crucial pathogens, including algal and bacterial blooms and parasites such as amoeba, in the Tasmanian aquaculture industry. [...]
The project will contribute to quantifying coastal marine seafloor ecosystem functioning under proposed offshore aquaculture activities. Working with the team on the larger project ‘A novel approach to measuring the depositional footprint of the Blue Economy’ the PhD will integrate [...]
