Improving technical and institutional capacity to support development of mariculture based livelihoods and industry in New Ireland, Papua New Guinea
- Indicative Funding
- $33,600 over 2 years (administered by University of the Sunshine Coast)
- Summary
- The overall aim of this project is to provide a sustainable basis for the further development of a mariculture sector in PNG and to further build capacity within country partner organisations and coastal communities to support this development. Specific research objectives are: * to further develop culture and husbandry protocols for target species; * to develop community-based sea cucumber culture methodology to a level potentially supporting income generation; and * to continue building long term institutional mariculture capacity in PNG. Given the significant community benefits expected from this project, detailed economic and socio-economic assessments will be undertaken to describe project impacts.

ACIAR - Research Grant
Evaluating the impacts of improving postharvest processing of sea cucumbers in the western Pacific region
- Indicative Funding
- $50,210 over 4 years
- Summary
- Sea cucumbers are significant to Pacific Island communities as a high value export commodity - in dried form as 'beche-de-mer'. A major issue facing sea cucumber fishers is the poor quality of processing by them which reduces the value of their product and their resulting income. Support to fishers in processing sea cucumbers to a high export quality, using the best methods, will likely improve their incomes and their concept is the basis for this project. This project partners JCU with Southern Cross University and fisheries departments in Kiribati, Tonga and Fiji. The JCU component of the project will focus particularly on the potential to develop novel (non-dried) methods for sea cucumber processing which may broaden the range of products produced from sea-cucumbers, open up new markets for these products, and increase the overall value of this industry and potential benefits to Pacific Island communities.

Seaweed Research Project in Pacific Countries
- Indicative Funding
- $1,255,650 over 5 years
- Summary
- This project will provide the technological basis for diversification and revitalisation of seaweed industries in Pacific Island Countries. The specific objectives are to improve production levels and post-harvest quality of kappaphycus in Fiji and Kiribati, consolidate production and post-harvest strategies for edible sea grapes Caulerpa in Samoa and Fiji and, assess opportunities for new seaweed bio products in pacific Island Countries.

ACIAR - Research Grant
Pearl industry development in the Western Pacific
- Indicative Funding
- $1,154,050 over 5 years
- Summary
- This project addresses key technical issues for development of pearl culture in the Western Pacific. The overall aim is to provide a sustainable basis for the continued development of cultured pearl industries in Fiji and Tonga and to determine the feasibility of half-pearl culture in PNG. The main outputs will be (1) effective optimised culture methods for production and husbandry of two species of pearl oysters in the three target countries; (2) baseline information supporting sustainable industry development and product diversification; (3) introduction of pearl culture to new areas thereby addressing a key regional priority; (4) training materials to be used in extension activities; and (5) scientific publications.

FIS/2010/042 Expansion and Diversification of Production and Management Systems for Sea Cucumbers in the Philippines, Vietnam and Northern Australia
- Indicative Funding
- $1,747,273 over 5 years
- Summary
- The aim of this project is to develop commercial-scale hatchery and grow-out technologies for sea cucumbers (sandfish), recognising the critical nature of adapting systems to social, institutional and bio-physical settings in participating communities. The project directly addresses several priority research areas. Specific objectives are to: (1) improve efficiency and adaptability of sandfish hatchery systems; (2) improve efficiency and adaptability of sandfish nursery and grow-out systems; (3) develop capacity to identify suitable sites for ranching using bio-physical indicators; and (4) develop tool, technologies and capacities to engage and train communities in sandfish culture and management. Outcomes will include a substantial increase in capacity to culture and manage the harvest of released sandfish among local institutions and partners. Technology for culture will be developed to a point where future scale-out to more diverse locations will be possible.
