Management of 'Tough' fish syndrome (TFS) in tropical Saddletail Snapper to re-instill market confidence

Successful identification of these factors influence upon TFS will empower stakeholders to make informed decisions as to how to best utilise the resource, boost consumer confidence thus ensuring the improved profitability of the fishery into the future.

Collation of health literature for tropical and exotic fruits and extracts

This report collates data on the nutrient and phytochemical content of tropical exotic fruits, the evidence for health effects from consumption of these fruit and the use of extracts from edible and non-edible parts of these plants. The knowledge of Australian fruit compared with that grown overseas is presented together with opportunities for future work by Australian researchers. Opportunities for developing commercial extracts for use as food or nutraceutical uses are also presented.

Sustaining productivity of tropical red snappers using new monitoring and reference points

OBJECTIVES: 1. Analyse current monitoring and logbook data sets, as well as survey and other information,to establish whether these data provide sufficient power to develop critical indicators of fishery performance. 2. Provide a risk analysis that examines the use of age structure and catch rate information for development of critical indicators, and response rules for those criteria, in the absence of other fishery information. 3. Develop a monitoring program that uses commercial vessels from the fishery to provide independent data.

DAQ339A Pest and disease identification and management in herbs

The major objective is to produce an educational tool for growers and research/extension personnel to allow accurate identification of a range of pests and diseases encountered in herbs. To a lessor extent develop both a mechanism to manage beneficial insects in field crops pre-harvest and to identify some common seed borne diseases in herbs.

Tropical Hardwood Improvement - Base

Completed tree improvement project focussing on delivering improved mahogany varieties for the plantation industry in northern Queensland.

High-value wood products from sub-tropical plantations

To refine the emerging silvicultural systems for sub-tropical eucalypt plantations to produce logs of acceptable dimensions and quality for processing into high-value solid and engineered wood products, while maintaining financial attractiveness for growers. The available resources are focussed primarily on sub-tropical Corymbia plantings.
