Found a golden tiger prawn today while conducting weight assessments. It’s amazing the variability in colour morph you can find in a single pond of prawns @CSIRO #csiro #science #csiroaquaculture #aquaculture

One of our redclaw crawlings moulting. Many people don’t realise that foods such as soft shell crab are crustaceans which are harvested soon after the moulting process.

It's magic! Wave a wand to assess digestibility of aquafeeds. New uses for NIR tech at #CSIRO. https://t.co/fSY841MpzP #CSIROaquaculture @prof_lobster

[Dr Ha Truong @HaInScience]

Collecting prawn poop to calculate digestibility is not an easy job, nor that accurate...

Some of our new red claw #crayfish have arrived onsite ‘pre-loaded’. Amazing how spawning methods vary across crustaceans when you compare these guys to prawns or lobsters which can produce eggs in the millions. #CSIROAquaculture @CSIRO #aquaculture

Another #prawn hatchery run done and dusted with the man, the myth, the Monodon master Brian Murphy. Plenty of high quality post larvae now going into a range of experiments onsite @CSIRO #CSIROAquaculture

New addition to the Bribie Island Research Centre!!! Red Claw #Crayfish. Lots of opportunities ahead for great science by the #CSIROAquaculture team with an industry still in its infancy. @CSIRO

What can you do with food waste from restaurants, hospitals, bakeries and food processing facilities? Work with Food Recycle Ltd to turn it into feed for black tiger prawns and barramundi of course https://t.co/RbTRC570pG #csiroaquaculture

Did you know, the world’s most consumed white-legged shrimp do better on Novacq #CSIROAquaculture @ARombenso @prof_lobster

Seafood San Chow Bow anyone? Butterhead lettuce grown in a #aquaponics trial with barramundi. Another foray by #csiroaquaculture to improve the #seafood circular economy. @CSIRO

Our tiger #prawns are loving the warmer #QLD weather. Metabolisms are up and these kids are smashing their food off the feed trays @CSIRO #CSIROAquaculture #aquaculture

Algae lab firing at the moment supplying a number of #algae species for #prawn and #finfish larval culture at the Bribie Island Research Centre. Always a very exciting time of year spring with lots of new life! #CSIROAquaculture #aquaculture

[Timothy Perrin @AquacultureTim]

After months of maturation and conditioning our wild caught #pompano broodstock are finally ready to be induced for spawning. Fingers crossed for eggs in the coming days!

#barramundi fingerlings are ravenous before they head into an #aquaponics experiment at #CSIROAquaculture
