This project aims to identify links between increasingly frequent Marine Heat Wave (MHW) events and outbreaks of microbes that cause disease in marine animals, reduced aquaculture yields and human health hazards. Pathogenic bacteria from the Vibrio genus exhibit a preference for elevated seawater temperature and this project will test the hypothesis that episodic MHWs will trigger blooms of dangerous species. Using innovative ecogenomic tools, this project will track the impact of MHWs on the dynamics of pathogenic Vibrio within coastal habitats, oyster farming facilities and coral reefs. The benefit of this project will be essential new knowledge on an emerging threat to Australia’s valuable marine estate, food security and public health.

该项目旨在确定日益频繁的海洋热浪事件与导致海洋动物疾病、水产养殖产量减少和人类健康危害的微生物爆发之间的联系。弧菌属的病原菌对海水温度升高有偏好，本项目将测试间歇性MHWs会引发危险物种大量繁殖的假设。利用创新的生态基因组学工具，该项目将跟踪MHWs对沿海栖息地，牡蛎养殖设施和珊瑚礁内致病性弧菌动态的影响。该项目的好处将是对澳大利亚宝贵的海洋财产、粮食安全和公共卫生面临的新威胁的基本新知识。
