Welcome to the Southern Bluefin Tuna Aquaculture Subprogram website
The Southern Bluefin Tuna (SBT) Aquaculture Subprogram was initiated in 1997
by the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC) to promote the
orderly planning and management of research and development (R&D) associated
with the aquaculture of SBT. The role of the Subprogram is to:
- develop and regularly review, in association with stakeholders, a
strategic plan that provides focus for R&D and yet is responsive to
changing circumstances;
- set R&D priorities to maximise investment in that field, avoid
duplication and achieve greatest potential return;
- invite R&D applications to address these priorities;
- maximise collaboration between researches, aquaculture and fisheries
managers, and aquaculture and fishing interests;
- attract other R&D funding and influence the way in which other funding
entities apply investments in that field;
- standardise on the best scientific methods;
- communicate regularly with potential beneficiaries;
- and facilitate the
adoption of R&D results.
The SBT Aquaculture Subprogram website provides a range of information on SBT
research that is being done in the Subprogram, including: purposes and
objectives of the Subprogram; mission and goals of the Subprogram; contact
details; information about the industry; SBT research and development; SBT
publications; an image library; news, upcoming events and links to relevant
organisations. Please click on one of the menu options on the left to find out

PIRSA
website (click here) and an overview of SBT farming including information on
production, the economic impact of tuna farming, markets and industry
development.
