To meet the market demand for quality seafood, now is a critical time to develop sustainable, productive and profitable new and emerging aquaculture industries in Australia that will complement growth in established sectors. The Fisheries Research & Development Corporation's 2015-20 RD&E Plan identified the development of new and emerging aquaculture growth opportunities as a national research priority. Aquaculture currently contributes 43% and $1 billion to the value of Australian seafood production, and has increased 12% from 2002-03 to 2012-13. This project was the early establishment phase of forming a new FRDC Subprogram, New and Emerging Aquaculture Opportunities (NEAO) Subprogram, to strategically coordinate RD&E in new and emerging aquaculture opportunities. Subprogram activities will assist farmers to form new industries, overcome issues in emerging sectors, and become more profitable.This report documents the progress of the FRDC to establish a new Subprogram that will strategically coordinate research development and extension (RD&E) in new and emerging aquaculture growth opportunities for Australia. Extensive national consultation was undertaken with stakeholders between July 2015 and February 2016, with a planning workshop held 11-12 November 2015 and an Establishment Committee meeting 5 February 2016, both in Melbourne. Clear direction was provided for RD&E in the short term to strengthen cooperative linkages and prioritise RD&E that will underpin aquaculture industry establishment, production increases and profitability.

Chinese coolies dug for gold and built Darwin: they were rewarded with racism and exiled under the White Australia Policy. But some stayed and persevered. Their homes were looted and burned during World War 2. Again they rebuilt and became stronger. Today they are resurgent, this time with the support of the Celestial Kingdom; sovereign funds with Australia's richest miners have become the biggest landowners, buying the ports and subverting the politicians. The economy is in decline and business has no answers other than to increase exports of gas. The novice Government can't make a decision, calling for more reviews, more plans and further inquiries. The only solution is in the hands of the Vietnamese and the Chinese. But at what cost? The police are riven by scandal, the public service incompetent and the Government resembles a bunch of wallabies frozen in a spotlight. The neighbourhood remains the only bulwark against terrorism: can they save the Territory from the Dragon?

To support the thriving aquaculture and crocodile farming industry of the Northern Territory and Western Australia¿s Kimberley region, a capability mapping and gap analysis study was undertaken to highlight the supporting trades, services and supply capacity.The Northern Territory Government commissioned the Industry Capability Network of the Northern Territory (ICN NT) to produce the report. Information for this report was captured from the ICN database and used to measure the capabilities of businesses within the Darwin, Katherine, Arnhem and Kimberley regions against the likely scopes of work required to service and supply. In summary, a total of 749 unique businesses had their capabilities matched against the identified scopes of work. Approximately 624 businesses were identified as service providers and 143 were identified as potential suppliers/wholesalers. The study also identifies 47 unique Aboriginal-owned businesses who¿s capabilities were matched to the likely scopes of work on 102 occasions. The Civil and Construction trade category held the highest content of capability from majority Aboriginal-owned businesses, with the 18 unique businesses identified in this category, matching the scopes of work on a total of 40 occasions. The bulk earthworks and grading services scopes of work held a considerably higher content of Aboriginal-owned business capability than the other scopes.The study identified the need for businesses within the northern region to accurately understand and engage with various biosecurity protocols as set by project owners or operators in the industry.
