Professor Catriona Macleod is the Interim Executive Director at IMAS. With more than 20 years’ experience in leadership and management of collaborative applied research, she has been a key investigator on over 30 industry/government collaboration projects, a research leader in three CRCs (Aquaculture, Aquafin and Seafood) and is involved in numerous industry and government advisory groups. She currently leads nine multidisciplinary industry and government partnership projects worth more than $30 million. Her research focus is on sustainable development in marine and coastal systems, and science-based management and decision-making, with specific expertise in environmental, economic, and social sustainability. A key research focus has been improving understanding of the environmental impacts of industry in coastal systems; providing the science and understanding needed to best support marine spatial planning and multi-use integrated management is a key objective. Prof Macleod has considerable experience and expertise in research to understand the impacts and interactions of aquaculture, and how aquaculture might best be managed as part of an integrated systems approach. Her research and that of her broader team is focused on providing the system understanding and recommendations to support sustainable development and management of aquaculture operations. She also has an interest in heavy metal contamination and how management actions in coastal/ estuarine systems can influence the impacts of metals, both in terms of bioavailability and ecotoxicity.

Biography

Catriona completed her undergraduate degree in Marine Biology at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, and has a GIBiol (Hons equivalent) in Behavioural Ecology from the University of West Scotland. Catriona then worked in a variety of research and development support roles within the aquaculture industry. Firstly, as Assistant Development Manager (Stock Improvement Programme) for Marine Harvest International in Scotland and then as Hatchery Production Manager for Saltas Pty Ltd in Tasmania. Whilst with Saltas she undertook an MSc degree (part-time) with UTAS, looking at tools for assessing the environmental impacts of salmonid farming, which saw her return to soft sediments and invertebrate ecology. This instigated a change in career and Catriona took up an Invertebrate Ecologist position in the Centre for Introduced Marine Pests (CRIMP). She continued in this role until 1997, when she moved to the state government research laboratories and returned to the assessment of salmon farming impacts. Completing a PhD in 2006 with UTAS, she then took up a position at the Tasmanian Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute within the Estuaries and Coasts Program as research group leader for Ecosystem Effects of Aquaculture. Catriona moved on lead the IMAS Centre for Ecology and Biodiversity in 2019 and stepped up into the interim Executive Director role at IMAS in early 2022.

Expertise

Associate Professor Catriona MacLeod has more than 20 years' experience working in the Aquaculture industry in a variety of roles. Much of her research to date has focussed on improving our understanding of the relationship between aquaculture operations and local environmental conditions, with a view to supporting sustainable development and improving management practices.

More recently, Catriona's focus and that of her research team and students has expanded to address environmental impact assessment more broadly. System-wide impacts, the ecological and functional effects of metal contamination, sediment remediation, and the relationship between environmental assessment and broader community values are key elements of our research.

Research outputs from her team have been used to inform regulatory policy and strategic research direction for aquaculture activities locally and internationally, and our metals research has resulted in advisories to protect public health. Her advice is frequently sought on marine environmental issues, both within Australia and overseas and she has served on several international review committees.

In précis, Catriona'a research experience is focussed in:

Marine ecology - particularly benthic interactions
Environmental impact assessment
Aquaculture environmental interactions
Metal contamination
Invertebrate taxonomy
Community engagement and science extension/communication

Research Themes

Catriona's research aligns to the University's Marine, Antarctic and Maritime and Environment, Resources and Sustainability research themes. Her research interests include evaluation of the options for expansion of salmonid aquaculture in Tasmanian waters; development of risk-based tools supporting consultation, planning and adaptive management for aquaculture and other multiple-uses of the coastal waters of southern Tasmania; tracking methyl mercury contamination pathways in key commercially and recreationally fished species; clarifying the relationship between salmon farm nutrient loads and changes in macroalgal community structure/distribution; heavy metal contamination in the Derwent estuary bird community; engaging the creative industries with the sciences to develop interdisciplinary approaches to urban water issues; assessment of the environmental impacts and sediment remediation potential associated with copper contamination from antifouling paint (and associated recommendations for management); and determination of the baseline levels of selected total petroleum hydrocarbons and nutrients in sediment and water to assist with the establishment of a marine finfish aquaculture industry in the Mid-West of Western Australia.

Collaboration

Catriona is currently involved in a number of national and international collaborations aimed at improving the understanding and environmental management of aquaculture operations worldwide, including an EU Horizon 2020 bid which is bringing together over 20 countries. However, key partnerships (and co-tutelle student collaborations) currently exist with the University of St Andrews (UK), SAMS (UK), Southampton University (UK) and the Cawthron Institute in New Zealand.

Publications

Catriona has authored a substantial number of research outputs comprising more than 120 publications in total. Her highest cited publication has been cited 157 times, with more than 70% of her publications being cited more than 10 times. In order to maximise the impacts of her research Catriona's publications contain a balance of both high impact international journals, reports and more applied publications. Whilst it is essential that research is published for peer review in academic journals, it is also important that research findings, which can lead to improvements in management or environmental outcomes, are provided to relevant stakeholders (i.e. industry, government and community) in such a way that it can be easily understood and incorporated into practice. Hence the need for more applied publication outputs, reports and targeted communication mechanisms such as workshops, newsletters and technical guides. Catriona is committed to improving science engagement and uptake.

Projects

Biofouling in finfish aquaculture (2022 - 2025)$120,000

Description: As finfish aquaculture expands into new areas and moves offshore, knowledge of how biofouling communities are likely to respond and behave will be key in mitigating the problem. The key objectives of this BECRC supported PhD project are i) the characterise biofouling communities associated with salmon farming in the waters around Tasmania and ii) determine how changes in environmental conditions and/ or farm management practises might influence the development and impact of these communities.

Tasmanias Marine Atlas (2021 - 2023)$499,646

Description: Marine spatial planning (MSP) has emerged in recent years as a tool for sea use management and helps with the difficult issue of managing multiple users accessing the same space. A process that brings together multiple users of the marine environment to make informed and coordinated decisions about how to use marine resources sustainably, MSP has been heralded as a means by which to reduce conflict over marine and coastal resources, and to assist regarding decisions about the impacts that one use may have on another, as well as the cumulative effects of a multi-use marine environment.Geographical information systems (GIS) have become an essential tool for informing the management of marine areas, especially through MSP. GIS allows the identification of regions of high and/or conflicting usage. A key step prior to the start of an MSP process is to define and analyse existing conditions, to collect and map appropriate information about the biophysical environment as well as human activities. This project addresses this key step. While much marine spatial data is already available through e.g. SeaMap (a national program to collate seafloor habitat data), there is a wealth of other information about the Tasmanian marine environment. Additional biophysical data may include e.g. currents or wave height. Human activity/use data may include e.g. dwellings, harbours, shipping lanes and fishing. This project will draw together spatially-resolved datasets required for ecosystem-based marine management using MSP, for Tasmanian State waters, and will identify gaps which may support future data collection campaigns.Furthermore, this project will investigate the development of simple overlay tools to identify trade-offs at various scales and resolutions of interest, and provide planning for database longevity to continue to assist ecosystem-based decision-making into the future.

Optimising feeds to support ecosystem-based aquaculture (2020 - 2024)$1,012,000

Description: This project aims to assess the global and local consequences of changing feeds in aquaculture by developing a new interdisciplinary sustainability assessment framework. The project expects to generate new methods to understand and predict local farm-to-ecosystem changes and global environmental footprints under contrasting feed and climate scenarios by integrating field data with novel experiments, modelling techniques and global mapping of terrestrial and marine feed raw materials and their impacts. Expected outcomes include new methods to assess ecological, social and economic trade-offs under different feeds to inform decision making in support of an ecosystem-based approach to aquaculture spanning global to local scales.

Risks & Opportunities for the Blue Economy (2020 - 2022)$613,462

Description: Cataloguing hazards and characterising risks associated with the Blue Economy is the most challenging step of any risk identification process. This project will deliver an integrative characterisation of risk across all parts of the Blue Economy CRC - engineering and technology, production, energy, sustainability and policy. The resulting integrated inventory will identify the multidimensional envelopes of risk relevant to the Blue Economy activities in the short to medium term. Opportunities (research gaps, industry needs, etc.) identified during the analysis will also be catalogued. Consequently, this project is foundational to many CRC activities, bringing immediate benefit to any industry partners undertaking trials or deployment within the next decade.

Monitoring and assessing offshore production structures (2020)$49,972

Description: The expansion of aquaculture/energy production into offshore areas requires the development of science-based automated environmental monitoring platforms. These platforms are important for maintaining public confidence in the associated industry and will reduce the operational costs and risks. Developing these platforms is contingent on ensuring that the environmental footprint and associated monitoring tools are well understood. This project will conduct a systematic review of the literature and consult with stakeholders (e.g. industry, government regulators), to identity the relevant parameters and technologies needed to develop these systems. The results will help to meet the end needs of the expanding industries and the government.

Kelp aquaculture scoping study (2020)$48,459

Description: This project will be a scoping study to gain the information needed to bring the bull kelp Durvillaea spp. into integrated offshore aquaculture. The Blue Economy CRC is interested in co-cultivation of Durvillaea with caged salmon in wave-exposed off shore sites (e.g. Storm Bay). Durvillaea's unique cellular structure and biomechanical properties allow it to thrive in wave-exposed sites and make it an excellent candidate for offshore culture. Also, the biomechanical properties that allow Durvillaea to absorb wave-energy provide the potential to dampen wave forces on or around off shore aquaculture structures. However, Durvilllaea is a notoriously challenging genus to work with and no species, internationally, has been brought into cultivation to date. This scoping project will have three components: 1. Desktop study to identify what is known about Durvillaea culture and that of related genera to identify suitable hatchery and methods for cultivation on off-shore structures; 2. An industry-partner workshop (e.g. with King Island Kelp Industries, Marinova) with Durvillaea experts from Chile to discuss the potential for and issues around Durvillaea aquaculture, and 3. A workshop followed by a desktop study to develop engineering and hydrodynamic projects that are needed to understand how Durvillaea will interact with wave forces on off-shore structures.

Storm Bay Observing System: Assessing the Performance of Aquaculture Development (2019 - 2024)$4,246,930

Description: Storm Bay is identified in the Tasmanian Governments Sustainable Industry Growth Plan for the Salmon Industry as a priority area for the possible expansion of salmonid marine farming. The Government's intention is that the proposed developments would be managed under an adaptive management framework with the following pre-conditions:*A staged development approach, with an initial limit on feed input that would provide for 30,000 tonnes of production*A comprehensive environmental monitoring program*The development of a biogeochemical model, to help to understand i) the information provided by the environmental monitoring and ii) the effects of any changes to farming operations in the region.The work proposed in this study will support the design and implementation of an effective, efficient and reliable monitoring program, providing expert advice on sampling locations, timelines and strategies and testing this data over 3-4 years to refine and improve the program. This monitoring program will deliver observational data to directly assess environmental performance and to assist the skill assessment of the integrated 3D model being developed by CSIRO. A second key element of the proposal is to develop a lease scale module for predicting near scale effects; this would be nested and relocatable in the CSIRO modelling system. A comprehensive map of seafloor habitats and bathymetry will underpin the monitoring program and modelling efforts.

Planning for a Blue Future Salmon - informing R&D, regulation and industry development (2018)$300,000

Description: The Tasmanian salmon industry is seeking to grow production safely and sustainably over the next two decades, further increasing the tangible benefits to the Tasmanian community. The aim is to deliver this by being the most environmentally sustainable salmon industry in the world - creating an industry that all Tasmanians can be proud of. To achieve this bold vision for a world class salmon industry in Tasmania, it requires a clear focus on development of both sea and land-based farming operations, utilisation of the best available technologies, and collaboration with researchers and aquaculture innovators. To support this development, scientists, industry, regulators and non-government organisations will come together in late-2018 for a Salmon Symposium, with the purpose of drafting an integrated roadmap for the future of the industry. This Symposium will provide a platform to review, analyse and consider pathways to implementation of world's best practices and future developments in farming systems, environmental management, biosecurity, science and policy. To prepare for the 2018 Symposium, the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS) is hosting a pre-symposium conference from 6th-8th December 2017. This planning conference will bring together international experts who will work with industry representatives, researchers, regulators and non-government organisations to set a clear direction and build an agenda for the 2018 event.To support the planning and management of these events a steering committee was formed with representatives from UTAS, government and industry. The steering committee is supported by a science committee that has reviewed and advised on international speakers, formulated discussion topics and devised the format for the series of public talks and conference workshops that will form the initial event. The science committee will also oversee the development of a one or more green policy papers on environmental management, biosecurity and future farming operations that will assist the ongoing management of the industry and provide the basis of the 2018 symposium program. The 2018 Sympoisum will include workshops in order to continue the new knowledge based approach established at the 2017 meeting. The conferences will create new knowledge through the workshops that aim to document, analyse and assess current best practice in order to define World Best Practice and consider implementation at a global level.

Understanding oxygen dynamics and the importance for benthic recovery in Macquarie Harbour (2017 - 2020)$3,679,698

Description: Sustainable finfish aquaculture is dependent on a benthic environment that can assimilate and process farm particulate wastes. This project will help inform the likely effectiveness and duration of any given fallowing or remediation strategy, and as such is essential for both operational management of farming activities and the long-term management of the harbour. This will involve a combination of benthic surveys, a real time observation network and oxygen transport modelling. The central outcome of this research will be better advice on appropriate fallowing and remediation strategies for the conditions currently occurring in Macquarie Harbour. Robust scientific understanding of benthic and water column condition in the Harbour, with a particular focus on dissolved oxygen dynamics in the water column, will provide a much better appreciation of the response of benthic communities to fallowing and remediation strategies.
