Overview of causes of and solutions to fish loss and waste. 
Scientists have developed a new algorithm for sensors which identify emerging blooms of cyanobacteria based on the behaviour of light reflected by the algae’s pigment. 
This guides the development of biosecurity plans for application at the farm level, and is meant to be adapted for specific sectors (e.g. prawn or abalone farming) and production systems (e.g. pond or recirculation).
