This project will combine genomics, artificial intelligence and experimental ecology to develop guidelines and technologies that maximise the growth and resilience of key seaweed species for aquaculture. Industrial seaweed production is growing rapidly and is expected to supply 1000s of jobs to regional Australia and 10% to the nation’s emissions reduction target by 2040. Expected outcomes of this project include a genomics-based regulatory framework and hatchery tools that support rapid industry growth and minimise biosecurity and climate change risks. This will benefit government, aquaculture, and ecosystem management by improving design, assessment and implementation options for sustainable and productive use of Australian seaweeds.

该项目将结合基因组学、人工智能和实验生态学，制定指南和技术，最大限度地提高水产养殖关键海藻物种的生长和恢复力。工业化海藻生产正在迅速增长，预计将为澳大利亚地区提供数千个就业机会，并为澳大利亚提供 10% 的就业机会。该项目的预期成果包括基于基因组学的监管框架和孵化工具，支持行业快速增长并最大限度地减少生物安全和气候变化风险。通过改进澳大利亚海藻的可持续和生产性利用的设计、评估和实施方案来促进政府、水产养殖和生态系统管理。
