Progress of Research WorkProject ObjectivesThe overall objective of the ACIAR project is to increase grouper production inthe Asia-Pacific area by developing improved hatchery and grow-out technology.The project has three major components:1. Larval rearing of groupersThe objective of this component of the research is to improve growth and survivalof groupers during the hatchery phase.The research is concentrating on developing a better understanding of the capacity ofgrouper larvae to digest various live prey organisms, and the nutritional compositionthat must be provided by live prey. This information is being used to assess thesuitability of different live prey organisms at different stages of the larval rearingprocess, and to develop improved nutritional profiles for live prey organisms. Directenhancement of larval nutrition, using artificial diets, is also being examined. Theseresults will be integrated with other studies on environmental factors affecting grouperlarvae to develop an improved methodology for larval rearing of groupers.2. Diet development for on-growing of grouperThe objective of this component is to develop compounded feeds for groupergrow-out that have low environmental impact, have a low content of fisheryresource, and are as cost-effective for the on-growing of grouper as the alternativeof using trash fish.This is being addressed in a structured way, acquiring nutritional information on feedsavailable for diet manufacture, characterising the requirements of groupers for keynutrients and demonstrating the cost effectiveness of the compounded feeds. Theresearch plan recognises that grow-out nutrition work in Australia can only be donesubsequent to the successful larval rearing of the fry but this constraint does not applyfor the overseas collaborators where collection of fry from the wild is permitted.3. Support for the Grouper Aquaculture Research and Development ProgramThe objective of this component is to ‘value add’ existing grouper aquacultureR&D efforts in the Asia-Pacific region by improving communication andpromoting collaborative research between regional laboratories and agencies.NACA, in cooperation with participating institutions, has prepared a cooperativegrouper aquaculture research and development program based on the recommendationsand specific research detailed in the proceedings of the Grouper AquacultureWorkshop held in Bangkok in April 1998, and more recent workshops held in Hat Yai(Thailand) and Medan (Indonesia). The program will be circulated to respectiveinstitutions to seek institutional support and commitment. NACA, in cooperation withparticipating institutions, will continue to seek funding support for specific projectsunder the Grouper Aquaculture Research and Development Program, with particularemphasis on the development of collaborative research and development projects.ACIAR Project FIS/97/73 – Annual Report – June 2000 7
