This lab is currently the only aquatic animal focused facility in Australia that maintains both radioimmunoassay (RIA) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent-assay (ELISA) both radioimmunoassay (RIA) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent-assay (ELISA) technology for the measurement of various hormones in fish. Research projects conducted in this facility are industry focused and aim to better understand reproductive development, stress physiology and growth performance of cultured fish species. These techniques are being applied to study environmental control of reproduction in fish, impacts of husbandry and environmental stressors in aquaculture, photoperiod manipulation for improved aquaculture production, harvest impacts on post-harvest flesh quality, fish behaviour and fish welfare.
