Optimising barramundi production through early prediction of thermal tolerance and growth

水产养殖是澳大利亚发展最快的第一产业，并日益成为澳大利亚地区重要的就业来源。因此，该部门的积极增长与通过研发提高生产率有关，将导致区域社区社会经济繁荣的改善。该项目将使barramundi养殖户能够在养殖过程的早期识别出高产家庭，从而提高他们的养殖效率，提高他们在迅速扩大的全球市场上的国际竞争力。该项目还将使澳大利亚在生物技术研究及其在水产养殖中的应用方面处于领先地位。

Aquaculture is Australia's fastest growing primary industry and is increasingly becoming an important employer in regional Australia. Consequently, positive growth in this sector linked to productivity gains through R&D will result in improved socioeconomic prosperity of regional communities. This project will allow barramundi farmers to identify highly productive families early on in the culture process, thereby improving their efficiency of farming and increasing their international competitiveness in the rapidly expanding global market. The project will also establish Australia at the forefront of biotechnological research and its applications to aquaculture.
