The Opportunity
CSIRO’s applied aquaculture breeding research portfolio is a key component of the Aquaculture Program of the Agriculture and Food Business Unit. In order to evaluate the contribution of genetics to the observed performance of animals in culture, it is important to eliminate, control or understand as many other sources of performance variation as possible. In aquaculture, critical sources of such variation can include inconsistent reproduction and unreliable operation of hatchery, nursery and grow-out systems. Successful applied aquaculture breeding therefore requires effective reproductive management and consistent production of juvenile and adult animals.
This role will apply specialist knowledge in finfish propagation to contribute to and, in time, initiate and lead client focussed research projects which aim to improve aquatic animal production systems and their sustainability. This will be done within national and international settings and will integrate with complimentary work in genetics, aquatic animal health, aquaculture nutrition, environmental management and socio-economics.
