1. A funding model to secure our future
Title page

2. 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

3. 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

4. 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

5. 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

6. 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

7. 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
