Funded Activity Summary

Objectives:
1. The development of optimal harvest and on board storage techniques to achieve least cost outcomes.
2. The trialing of jellyfish procesisng will be carries out under the auspices of the Feasability study at the VFRI where processing space and seawater flows will be made available.
3. Market testing will be carrie out by exporting processed stock (tonnage to be determined) to China for comparison against locally produced products.
4. In line with Victoria's intention to be recognised as a first class supplier of pure and fresh seafood products, it is desirable that an alternative to alum (used in the processing stages) be investigated. Further value adding techniques, such as packaging and "total meal" additives will be investigated to ensure that the Victorian product is clearly distinguished on the market. This is seen as a distinct advantage in establishing firm market niches.
