  1. What is happening with the culture of koi and tilapia in Hawaii? July 17, 2010 Haleakoakoa 101 Windward Community College

  2. Workshop Agenda • Introductions and expectations • OPERATIONAL BIOSECURITY AND DIAGNOSTIC SURVEILLANCE, Clyde S. Tamaru • Overview of Koi Herpes Virus by Dr. Allen Riggs • Overview of Piscirickettsia-like organism (PLO) in tilapia • Overview of the Shrimp Specific Pathogen Free (SPF) program: A potential model for other aquacultured species. • COFFEE BREAK • How does a species make it on to the list of species allowed to be imported into the islands. Vernon Nakamoto • Goals and objectives to identify the various species and strains of tilapia currently in the islands.Harry Ako/Jinzen Yang • Marketing tilapia in Hawaii? Is it a tough sell and what can we do about it? Todd Low • Brainstorming Session: What are the next steps? • Evaluation

  3. Ground Rules • Respect Others • Listen to understand and avoid interrupting others • Resist the temptation to put words into another persons mouth • Be clear and concise • Avoid side conversations while someone else has the floor • Maintain an open and positive attitude • Be open and non-defensive about your own ideas • Everyone needs to participate\Put cell phones and pagers on the Joy setting

  4. REGIONAL BIOSECURITY:OPERATIONAL BIOSECURITY AND DIAGNOSTIC SURVEILLANCE • Charles Laidley, OPERATIONAL BIOSECURITY • Amanda Lowrey and Clyde Tamaru, DIAGNOSTIC SURVEILLANCE

  5. Stakeholder Input obtained via two workshops (e.g., Oahu and Hawaii

  6. Diagnostic and Surveillance Objectives - Year 1: • Objective 1: Establish a local diagnostic laboratory with PCR technology able to provide rapid turn around time. • Objective 2: Hold workshop with Koi producers to solicit participation and input in establishing health status of Hawaii’s koi with regard to koi herpes virus disease (KHVD) • Objective 3: Establish pro-active screening methods for KHVD • Objective 4: Conduct initial survey of KHVD in farmed and feral koi populations statewide • Objective 5: Produce technical handouts of resulting information. Information obtained is to also be included in the Operational Biosecurity handouts. • Objective 6: Conduct follow up workshop to disseminate information and begin discussions on the challenges and opportunities of establishing a health certificate program for farmed koi.

  7. Diagnostic and Surveillance Objectives - Year 2 • Objective 1: Increase capacity of local diagnostic laboratory to include detection of Piscirickettsia-like organism (PLO) that infects tilapia. • Objective 2: Conduct survey for Hawaii Tilapia Piscirickettsia-like organism (HTPLO) in farmed and feral tilapia populations statewide • Objective 3: Extend survey to the whole CTSA region. • Objective 4: Produce technical handouts of resulting information. Information obtained is to also be included in Operational Biosecurity handouts. • Objective 5: Conduct follow up workshop to disseminate information and begin discussions on the challenges and opportunities of establishing a health certificate program for farmed tilapia.

  8. Aquaculture: Percent of Total Sales State of Hawaii, 2008 1% 24% 20% 10% 45%

  9. Tilapia is the fish used almost exclusively in aquaponics operations in Hawaii. • Tolerates low DO levels (e.g., 0.2 ppm) • Tolerates high total nitrate levels (>400 ppm) • Tolerates high TAN levels (45 ppm) @ pH 6.0
