Funded Activity Summary

This project is aimed at increasing the capacity to provide Australian seafood businesses with
assistance in analysing and improving their post-harvest performance and thus improve their
profitability and ability to meet and respond to their customer's needs.

This need has been articulated in the WAFIC CRC strategic plan and the FRDC 5 year strategic plan, as well as in the Seafood CRC outcomes and objectives.

The need for the project has been demonstrated across the seafood industry by the >10 research projects previously funded by the CRC in the supply chain improvement area and the seafood industry partners committing to the new project (see attached letters of support).

Objectives:
1. Through post graduate training and employment of scientists expand the research capacity with the CESSH to further support Australian seafood industry participants in analysing and improving their post harvest supply chain performance.
2. Foster, lead, enhance capacity and provide administrative support to expand the activities of the Australian seafood post harvest hub to better meet the needs of the Australian seafood industry.
3. Provide a means for the Australian seafood industry to access post harvest "commercial-in-confidence" technical expertise, either through CRSSH or in the other specific post harvest research areas available as part of the Australian post harvest research hub.
4. Develop best practice/innovation in effectively communicating the results of the CESSH post harvest research to the Australian seafood industry.
5. Demonstrate professionalism and transparency in all reporting on research sub program activities.
