Title: FAR 2016/67 A survey of the Foveaux Strait oyster (Ostrea chilensis) population (OYU 5) in commercial fishery areas and the status of bonamia (Bonamia exitiosa) in February 2016.
FAR-2016-67-Foveaux-Strait-Oysters.pdf (1.8 MB)
The 2016 Foveaux Strait survey found the recruit-sized, pre-recruit and small oyster populations increased from 2015. Recruit-sized oysters in core strata increased from 351.4 million oysters in 2015 (CV 8%) to 385.2 million oysters in 2016 (CV 11%). Bonamia infection levels decreased markedly in 2016. Summer mortality was much lower, 16.2 million recruit-sized oysters (4.2% of the population), than in 2015 (13.1%). The declining trend in the oyster population since 2012 has levelled off in 2016. Any rebuilding of the recruit-sized population is likely to be slow.

Title: FAR 2015/ 73 A survey of the Foveaux Strait oyster (Ostrea chilensis) population (OYU 5) in commercial fishery areas and the status of bonamia (Bonamia exitiosa) in February 2015.
FAR-2015-73-Foveaux-Strait-oyster-Feb-2015.pdf (2.0 MB)
The February 2015 Foveaux Strait survey was the second in a new time-series of bonamia and oyster surveys incorporating a fully randomised, two-phase design, and the same survey area and strata. Recruit-sized oysters declined by 35% and pre-recruits by 40% since 2014, and numbers of small oysters remained low. The summer mortality from bonamia was 13.1%, down from 18.3% in 2014. Heightened bonamia mortality and continued low recruitment is expected to result in a downward trend in the population.

Title: FAR 2015/39 New qPCR (quantitative polymerase chain reaction) and haematological sampling methods for monitoring Bonamia exitiosa infections and oyster (Ostrea chilensis) mortality in the Foveaux Strait fishery (OYU 5).
FAR_2015_39_2729_OYS2011-01 Objectives 2; Milestone 4.pdf (1.0 MB)
A new qPCR method to detect Bonamia exitiosa in oysters from Foveaux Strait comprises a duplex qPCR assay for the co-amplification of the Bonamia target and the Ostrea chilensis β-actin gene, shortened lab procedures, and a block to allow effective co-amplification. This method has greater sensitivity and specificity than heart imprints (performance coefficient of 0.73 when compared to qPCR heart samples and 0.61 for gill samples), and is more cost-effective, but requires further development.

Title: FAR 2014/49 The status of infection by bonamia (Bonamia exitiosa) in Foveaux Strait oysters (Ostrea chilensis) in February 2013, estimates of summer disease mortality, and implications for the projections of future stock status made in the 2012 stock assessment for OYU 5.
FAR_2014_49_2705_OYU2012-01 Objective 1, Milestone 7.pdf (3.9 MB)
A survey of Foveaux Strait oysters in February 2013 sampled commercial fishery areas for oyster population size and bonamia. The recruit-sized oyster population increased from 585.3 million in 2012 to 644.9 million in 2013. The density of pre-recruit and small oysters decreased. Mortality from bonamia was about 107 million oysters (13.9% of the recruit-sized oyster population), higher than for recent surveys. Increasing bonamia mortality will slow the rebuilding of the fishery.
