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.
