| Summary |
"Objectives: To develop a strategic plan for the propagation and enhancement of Southern Bluefin Tuna (SBT) in Australia. Southern Bluefin Tuna (SBT) is a fast growing fish species which commands high market prices. A substantial reduction in the wild stock size made necessary a considerable reduction in catches in 1988 and 1989 from the major fishing nations (Japan, Australia, and New Zealand). These historically low quotas now restrict their availability for capture, either for direct supply to the market in Japan, or for fattening in farms. Several agencies and farming companies have been discussing approaches whereby the value and volume of Australia's supply of SBT might be increased. They have been investigating improved aquacultural methods to provide a supply of fingerling fish for ongrowing and reseeding |

This present Business and R&D Strategy was commissioned by the Commonwealth Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Australia (AFFA) and the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC) on the suggestion of industry and government in May 2000 to determine the best way to develop a project to domesticate SBT in Australia for the production of fingerlings for farming and stock enhancement. The Strategy extends investigations on the feasibility of the aquaculture of SBT in Australia which was commissioned by AFFA in 1998 (see Lee 1998)" -- Executive summary |
