1. Bath sponge aquaculture in Torres Strait, Australia: Effect of explant size, farming method and the environment on culture success

Author:
Duckworth, A.R.; Wolff, C.

Subject:
Porifera; animal growth; mortality; mariculture; seasonal variation; Australia
Abstract:
... Global demand for bath sponges far exceeds supply and cannot be met by harvesting natural populations. Aquaculture is considered the only method that could supply sufficient and sustainable quantities of bath sponges and it may also be a suitable industry for remote coastal communities such as in Torres Strait, Australia. A series of farming experiments were done in Torres Strait using the common ...

Abstract:
... Although sperm cryopreservation has been practiced in aquatic species for more than 50 years, viable markets for frozen sperm do not currently exist for commercial aquaculture. The present study suggests that the use of commercial cryopreservation facilities used for dairy bulls could be a cost-effective approach to initiate commercialization of frozen sperm in aquaculture, and the oyster industry ...
