This project will combine genomics, artificial intelligence and experimental ecology to develop guidelines and technologies that maximise the growth and resilience of key seaweed species for aquaculture. Industrial seaweed production is growing rapidly and is expected to supply 1000s of jobs to regional Australia and 10% to the nation’s emissions reduction target by 2040. Expected outcomes of this project include a genomics-based regulatory framework and hatchery tools that support rapid industry growth and minimise biosecurity and climate change risks. This will benefit government, aquaculture, and ecosystem management by improving design, assessment and implementation options for sustainable and productive use of Australian seaweeds.

该项目将结合基因组学，人工智能和实验生态学，以开发指南和技术，最大限度地提高了主要海藻物种对水产养殖的生长和韧性。工业海藻生产的生产迅速增长，预计将为澳大利亚地区提供1000次就业机会，到2040年将为美国的排放量减少目标提供10％。该项目的预期结果包括基于基因组学的监管框架和孵化场工具，该工具支持快速行业的增长并最大程度地减少生物安全性和气候变化风险。这将通过改善设计，评估和实施方案来使澳大利亚海藻的可持续和生产性使用方案改善设计，评估和实施方案，从而使政府，水产养殖和生态系统管理受益。
