Biosecurity training for prawn farmers

To address industry demands, SMT begins the development of a biosecurity training program for the prawn-farming industry.

30 November 2020

In recent years SMT has developed and run Biosecurity training programs for the Salmon and Abalone Farmers. Industry demand has called for the development of a similar program for Prawn Farmers.

To be able to capture this work in a format that can be used by other sectors of the Seafood Industry, we are investigating funding and development model for a cross-sector Biosecurity induction DVD with TSIC and Rosny College’s media students.

We’re very excited to tell you more about this course in the near future. Please don’t hesitate to contact us, if you wish to be kept updated on the availability of this course.
