“…In Australia, rising water tables have carried large amounts of salt to the surface, damaging infrastructure and reducing the fertility and productivity of agricultural land [1][2][3]. In some areas such as the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB), this problem is ameliorated by large interception schemes which pump saline groundwater from subterranean aquifers into evaporation basins [2].…”

“…In some areas such as the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB), this problem is ameliorated by large interception schemes which pump saline groundwater from subterranean aquifers into evaporation basins [2]. The potential use of interception schemes for mariculture is considerable [1,[4][5][6][7][8], but in many cases this use is limited by sub-optimal ionic composition [2,9].…”

“…The ionic composition of groundwater following evaporation can also vary considerably depending on local geology, climate, and surface management [10]. Irrespective of these factors, the majority of saline groundwater sources in Australia are deficient in K + , compared with seawater [1,2,5].…”

This study was done to determine if fortification of a commercial aquafeed with KCl could improve the survival of juvenile Australian snapper Pagrus auratus reared in K + deficient saline groundwater (KDSGW; <5 mg K + L −1 ). Experiment 1 (Exp. 1) tested whether feeding an aquafeed fortified with zero, 25, or 50 g KCl kg −1 for 6 days affected feed intake and survival of fish transferred immediately from estuarine water to KDSGW of the equivalent salinity (20 g·L −1 ). Experiment 2 (Exp. 2) investigated whether an aquafeed fortified with zero, 10, or 25 g KCl kg −1 affected survival, feed intake, and growth rate (SGR) of snapper reared in KDSGW fortified to have 40% or 100% the [K + ] of equivalent salinity estuarine water (20 g·L −1 ). The results of Exp. 1 demonstrated there was no benefit of fortifying aquafeed with KCl; fish transferred into KDSGW stopped feeding and developed symptoms akin to tetany. Some individuals also died and others became moribund. Exp. 1 was terminated according to animal care and ethics guidelines. The results of Exp. 2 indicated the amount of KCl added to the aquafeed did not affect survival, feed intake, or food conversion ratio (FCR) of snapper, irrespective of water treatment. However, SGR and FCR was better when fish were reared in normal estuarine water and KDSGW fortified to have 100% the [K + ] of equivalent salinity estuarine water. Our results demonstrated that juvenile snapper were unable to utilize the KCl added to the aquafeed and were probably reliant on sequestering K + ions from the water column in order to maintain functions involving hydromineral homeostasis. Fortification of aquafeeds with KCl does not ameliorate the negative effects of KDSWG on the survival of juvenile snapper.

“…Inland saline water (ISW) could be seen as an alternative resource to ocean water (OW) for abalone aquaculture. In Western Australia, it is estimated that about 1.8 million ha of agricultural land is affected by salinity and is expected to increase exponentially (Trendall & Pitman 1998; Allan, Dignam & Fielder 2001). Invariably, ISW is low in K + compared with OW.…”

Survival, growth and osmolality of greenlip abalone Haliotis laevigata (Donovan 1808) when exposed to different ionic profiles of inland saline water

Two experiments over 21 days were conducted to assess the e¡ect of di¡erent ionic pro¢les (mainly K 1 ) of inland saline water (ISW) on the survival, growth, osmoregulation and moisture content of juvenile greenlip abalone Haliotis laevigata. In experiment I, the juveniles were cultured in ¢ve di¡erent water types: ocean water (OW) as a control, inland saline water (ISW or ISW K 1 0 ), ISW forti¢ed with 33%, 66% and 100% K 1 as in OW (ISW K 1 33 , ISW K 1 66 and ISW K 1 100 respectively). In experiment II, ¢ve di¡erent culture media, 100% OW(control), 75% OW mixed with 25% ISW (ISW 25 ), 50% OW mixed with 50% ISW (ISW 50 ), 25% OW mixed with 75% ISW (ISW 75 ) and 100% ISW (ISW or ISW 100 ), were tested. Within 21 days, all of the abalone in ISW (ISW K 1 0 and ISW 100 ; Na 1 /K 1 ratio of 111 L À 1 ) died compared with 100% survival in OW. One-hundred per cent K 1 forti¢cation of ISW increased the speci¢c growth rate (SGR) and serum osmolality of the surviving juveniles. The 96 h acute LC 50 value was between ISW 50 and ISW 75 . The increased proportion of ISW in OW resulted in signi¢cantly (Po0.05) lower survival, SGR and serum osmolality of juveniles. The moisture content of the juveniles was not in£uenced by any water type. The results suggested that abalone cannot survive in raw ISW, but survival can increase when it is forti-¢ed with K 1 and ionic ratios of ISW are brought closer to OW by mixing it with OW. Furthermore, abalone survival is in£uenced by other ions in ISW besides K 1 .

“…(Günther, 1859), inhabit the coastal and estuarine waters along much of the east coast of Australia (Kailola et al 1993). The species has attracted attention as a candidate for aquaculture because of its marketplace acceptance, economic value, and ability to withstand wide variations in salinity and temperature (Thorogood 1991;Thorogood & Blackshaw 1992;Cowden 1995;Battaglene & Fielder 1997;Allan & Fielder 1999;Taylor et al 2005). Yellowfin bream are serial spawners, spawning many times during a single season with a peak spawning period occurring between July and August (Pollock 1982(Pollock , 1984(Pollock , 1985.…”

Adult yellowfin bream (Acanthopagrus australis) were captured from the wild and maintained in outdoor tanks until the onset of the natural spawning season (May -June). Three replicate trials were conducted to examine the effects of gonadotropin releasing-hormone analogue (GnRHa) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) on milt characteristics and gonadal steroid levels. Spermiating males were injected intraperitoneally with either saline solution (control) or a single dose of GnRHa (25, 50, 75, 100 μg kg -1
