Funded Activity Summary

Biotechnology and epidemiology to control nodavirus in barramundi aquaculture. Production of farmed barramundi has increased more than 1200% in the NT since 2001 but is threatened by nodavirus infection. Three industry partners, Darwin Aquaculture Centre, Marine Harvest and Berrimah Veterinary Laboratory will collaborate with The University of Sydney to: 1. control nodavirus infection 2. develop new technologies to detect nodavirus using immunoassay and surface enhanced laser desorption ionisation mass spectroscopy (SELDI) 3. develop an integrated disease control strategy based on epidemiological survey data, and ensure that it is practical and able to be widely adopted By this means growth targets for barramundi aquaculture in northern Australia will be achieved.
