A funding model to secure our future Title page

Why Change? 2011 POMS appears in Australia Industry demand POMS now primary trait for selective breeding program ASI simply not resourced to deliver on industry wishes Genetic solution for POMS is realistically some way off but attainable How do we fund ASI while we are getting there

So Where are we? YC09, YC11 and YC12 year class field tested YC13 field tests funded Currently best families ~40% survival Peter Kube calculates ~70% in 5 years if status quo remains Accelerated gains possible Husbandry Infectivity model More families Decreased generation times Breeding from survivors

Breeding program review Independent review- Morten Rye Business model weak Suggested that all of industry funding model be developed All of industry to see benefits Breeding program sound High potential for breeding for disease resistance

The proposal Voluntary levy on hatcheries ~2.00/thousand spat for fixed term Voluntary to hatcheries, compulsory to customers of participating hatcheries Hopeful of all hatcheries participating Received CRC legacy funding Executive chair Legal support Communications

How will it work Levy collected by OA At this stage ASI will be the recipient OA has the discretion to change arrangement based on performance

Next steps Executive Chair advertised next week Hatcheries will receive invitation to participate Asked to indicate in principle support Determine indicative funding generated Develop value proposition for hatcheries/industry Determine detailed budget & work plan - Number of families Decrease generation times Strategies for bringing in genetics Funding infectivity model trials Get levy in place ASAP and get on with it
