Frdc - Fisheries Research And Development Corporation
The FRDC is widely recognised as the leading Australian agency concerned with planning, funding and managing fisheries research and development. The FRDC does not undertake research itself; rather it identifies research and development needs - and the means of addressing them - through a planning process and by contracting with research providers. Stakeholders in the FRDC are the fishing industry; the governments of the Commonwealth, the states and the territories; and the people of Australia. The FRDC acknowledge Australia’s Indigenous People who are the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We pay our respect to their Elders both past and present and extend that respect to all Indigenous People.

Austral
Austral Fisheries is one of Australia’s largest integrated commercial fishing companies with interests in both deep-sea fishing and at-sea prawning. We are proud to be recognised for our responsible fishing practices and continuous efforts to maintain our environmentally conscious, sustainable fishing methods. All of the Commonwealth-managed fisheries we operate in are independently certified as sustainable and well managed by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC). In 2016, Austral also became the first seafood business in the world to be certified as carbon neutral under the Australian Government's 'Climate Active' Carbon Neutral Program. Austral Fisheries’ deep-sea fishing activities involve the operation of 2 longline vessels, including a dual-purpose longline-trawl vessel. Each of these vessels is equipped to survive the world’s harshest weather conditions as experienced in Australia’s sub-Antarctic zones. These vessels specialise in catching Patagonian Toothfish and Mackerel Icefish. Austral Fisheries’ prawning component involves the operation of a fleet of 11 prawn trawlers in the Northern Prawn Fishery off the coast of northern Australia catching Banana, Tiger and Endeavour Prawns. The fishery was established in the late 1960s and is Australia’s most valuable fishery managed by the Australian Commonwealth Government. Austral's operation out of Darwin was established in 2017 via investment in the Timor Reef Fishery. This fishery operates in the remote offshore waters of the Northern Territory. Here we are growing towards operating four trap-fishing vessels, primarily targeting Goldband Snapper, Saddletail Snapper, Red Emperor and Mixed Cod species.

We are innovators who collaborate to continuously improve the performance and sustainability of pond-based aquaculture through technology. We specialize in sonic and optical solutions, providing feeding control and biomass estimation solutions for shrimp and fish farmers, government agencies, and researchers across 44 countries.

Our technologies are proven at scale and have become industry standards around the world. The Sonic Feeding System, developed by AQ1, is the world’s first sensor-based feeding system for shrimp aquaculture. This system has become an industry standard, used by farmers to feed more than tonnes of shrimp annually. It is a complete ecosystem of industry-leading technology solutions, consisting of hardware (smart hydrophone, smart feeder, environmental sensors, sonic feeding and aeration controllers) and software (Analytics - a powerful platform offering shrimp feed management with real-time data, AI-driven decisions, and comprehensive insights for optimised efficiency and production). The system constantly monitors shrimp feeding activity, allowing the Sonic Feeding Algorithm to make real-time feeding decisions for the pond. Our solutions focus on feeding the animal, not the pond, ensuring that every bit of feed is utilised efficiently. The AM100, developed by AQ1, is an innovative optical solution for faster, AI-powered underwater measurements, designed to maximise efficiency. This system enables non-invasive, rapid, and accurate measurement and counting of fish. Enhanced with AI, the AM100 delivers precise results swiftly. The system uses a marine-grade stereoscopic camera in an underwater housing, linked to a ruggedized laptop, for footage analysis with AQ1 Analyser software to perform single or multiple point-to-point measurements for direct comparison or modeling mass/surface area.
