Current Funding

Current and recent Research Funding to JCU is shown by funding source and project.

SmithBucklin Corporation - Contract Research

Dietary Protein and Energy Requirements of Group: Assessing SBM and SPC Utilization by Tiger Grouper and Establishing Baseline Nutritional Requirements for Humpback Grouper

Indicative Funding: $247,772 over 2 years
Summary: The objective of this project is to build on research commenced in 2015 and 2016 with the overarching goal of developing diet formulations containing optimal levels of soybean meal (SBM) and soy protein concentrate (SPC) ingredients for grouper. This current project phase will assess requirements for dietary protein and energy for humpback grouper, Cromileptes altivelis, and evaluate SBM and SPC Ingredients in diets for tiger grouper, Epinephelus fuscoguttatus.
Investigators: Igor Pirozzi and Mark Booth in collaboration with L Manomaitis, Levy Manalac and Jun Lim (College of Science & Engineering, NSW Department of Primary Industries, U.S. Soybean Export Council, U.S. Soybean Export Council (USSEC) and Palawan Aquaculture Corporation)
Keywords: Grouper; Nutrition; Epinepheulus Fuscoguttatus; Cromileptes altivelis; Soybean Meal; Soy Protein Concentrate

SmithBucklin Corporation - Contract Research

Development of Soy Aquafeeds for Grouper

Indicative Funding: $186,725
Summary: The objective of this project is to build on research commenced in 2015 with the overarching goal of developing diet formulations containing optimal levels of SBM/SPC ingredients in diets for grouper. This current project phase will specifically assess requirements for dietary protein and energy for grouper.
Investigators: Igor Pirozzi and Guy Carton in collaboration with L Manomaitis and Ben Lim (College of Science & Engineering, U.S. Soybean Export Council and Palawan Aquaculture Corporation)
Keywords: Grouper; Nutrition; Aquaculture; Soy; Epinepheulus fusoguttatus; Cromileptes altivelis

Secretariat of the Pacific Community - Contract Research

Evaluation of Local and Imported Pacific Island Aquafeeds for Tilapia

Indicative Funding: $65,225 over 3 years
Summary: Tilapia are becoming an important food source for communities throughout the Pacific islands however the high cost of imported aquafeeds and ingredients makes the aquaculture of this species cost prohibitive. This project will evaluate aquafeeds formulated for tilapia using novel, low-cost, locally available ingredients in the Pacific Island countries of Fiji, Samoa, the Solomon Is. And Vanuatu. The growth and performance of tilapia fed novel diets will be compared to those fed standard diets and an assessment made on the nutritional efficacy and economic viability of these novel diets.
