Dr Andrew Bridle is a research fellow at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS) researching aquatic animal health. His research focuses on molecular aspects of host, pathogen, environment interactions and their impact on aquaculture.

Biography

Dr Andrew Bridle completed a Bachelor of Applied Science (Hons) at the University of Tasmania during which he spent his honours year investigating the use of a recombinant interleukin as an immunoadjuvant in the vaccination of barramundi. In 2005, Andrew completed his PhD at the University of Tasmania having investigated immune-regulatory genes and the potential for immunomodulation in Atlantic salmon. He has since worked as a postdoctoral research fellow on a Nutritional Biotechnology project, and undertaken an ARC Linkage project aimed at improving the efficacy of vaccination against yersiniosis in Atlantic salmon. Dr Bridle is a senior member of the aquatic animal health research group within IMAS and specialises in molecular biology research and its application to aquatic animal health.

Research Themes

Dr Bridle's research addresses the University's Marine, Antarctic and Maritime and Environment, Resources and Sustainability research themes. His interests include understanding the host, pathogen environment interactions affecting aquaculture. His expertise in molecular biology in particular gene expression and its application to investigations of both the host and aquatic pathogens is an underlying research theme. Research highlights include the identification of an mRNA biosignature that can be used to predict vaccine success eliminating disease challenges and research demonstrating that antimicrobial peptides can influence the immune response of fish suggesting an indirect mode of microbicidal activity. He has an extensive history of research into amoebic gill disease (AGD) and its causative agent the amoeba Neoparamoeba perurans as well as yersiniosis in Atlantic salmon caused by the bacterium Yersinia ruckeri. His AGD research includes the establishment of an in vitro culture technique for N. perurans and the fulfilment of Koch's postulates. Dr Bridle is an expert in molecular detection of aquatic pathogens and has developed several assays employed worldwide. Currently Dr Bridle's research includes research into the immunology of important aquaculture species including lobsters, tuna, barramundi, Atlantic salmon and includes research on oral vaccination, disease processes, the immune response and detection of pathogens.

Projects

Tasmanian Seaweed Health Baseline Project (2022)$46,772

Description: This project is a collaboration between NRE Tas, NRM South and IMAS. The aquaculture of seaweed is an emerging industry in Tasmania. Seaweed and its products have numerous uses for the benefit of humans, animals and the environment. A range of native (red, green and brown seaweed) and introduced species (wakame) are now being trialled under permit(s) for growing on land and at sea. Currently, the main seaweed for commercial development is a native species called Asparagopsis armata which is rich in the chemical compound bromoform that can be used in cattle and sheep feed to reduce methane gas emission and increase productivity. As the intensity of seaweed aquaculture in Tasmania expands, the disease risk also increases. Seaweed farms are required to maintain approved biosecurity plans and are required to notify NRE Tas of any suspected disease in the seaweed cultured within their premises. The Tasmanian Government in preparedness, has proposed a program of work to identify likely disease-causing agents that may affect the emerging industry in our State. This program of work will inform NRE Tas Plant Diagnostic Services (PDS) provision of diagnostic services for the industry in future. PDS has advised that the first action in the program of work to enable marine plant diagnostics is a study to develop standard protocols for sampling and transport of seaweed for laboratory submission, and to identify the baseline of microorganisms present in normal healthy seaweed. Understanding the normal microbiological flora of the seaweed will build knowledge of the likely potential opportunistic pathogens and ease comparison with diseased seaweed when an outbreak occurs. Furthermore, this knowledge will assist in the biosecurity risk assessment for the translocation of seaweed from the wild to the hatchery and grow-out areas.

Health, haematology, disease and parasites in three species of Australian-breeding petrels (2021)$1,500

Description: Most petrel species are threatened with extinction or are suffering from population decline. Yet, little is known about the health of these seabirds. This project aims to examine the health, haematological parameters, parasite prevalence of three Australian-‐breeding petrels species with threatened or decreasing population trends-the providence petrel, Pterodoma solandri, the black-‐winged petrel, Pterodroma nigripennis and the white-‐faced storm petrel Pelagodroma marina. By understanding the normal health parameters, disease and parasite prevalence, aberrations in breeding petrel populations can be efficiently identified, and concerted conservatory efforts can be better tailored to safeguarding these threatened and dwindling populations.To assess health, we will measure/ collect:*Heart rate and respiratory rate (Stethoscope, observe breathing rate/ patterns)*Mass and morphometrics (head bill, culmen length, tarsus length, tarsus length, wing cord)*Blood reference ranges and observe for abnormalities*Microbiome swab to screen for diseases*Feather samples (gender-‐specific blood and biochemical ranges; diseases; heavy metal analysis)We will look at parasite prevalence and load by conducting:*Blood smears (Blood parasites)*Fecal floats/ smears (Gastrointestinal parasites)*Stomach lavage (Gastrointestinal parasites)*Cloaca swab (Gastrointestinal parasites, Enterobacteriaceae)To assess haematological parameters, blood collected from each bird will be processed with the following*iSTAT (Haemotology, biochemisties and blood gas values)*Lactate analyser (Blood lactate concentration)*Glucometer (Blood glucose concentration)*Centrifuged and refractometer (Packed cell volume and total protein)*Blood smear slides (White blood cell count and blood parasites)

National Pacific Oyster Breeding Program: Completing POMS Resistance in Spat and Transition to Selection for Traditional Commercial Traits (2021 - 2022)$177,607

Description: This project proposal represents a continuation of the national breeding program with the primary aim of developing highdisease resistance to POMS in young spat; which is not yet completed and is critical for the industry. The proposed investment will have a high probabilityof solving the systematic outbreak of POMS, which has, and continues to damage an important regionally based industry. In addition, this will facilitate amove back to selecting for traditional commercial traits, including growth rate, meat condition, shell shape and non-specific survival. These traits wereimportant to industry prior to the outbreak of POMS. We also propose to take a unique opportunity to study aspects of the immunological mechanismsunderlying the disease resistance in the ASI pedigrees. This will provide invaluable insight not only for longer term management of the breeding program,but will provide insights into Pacific oyster health for the wider scientific community

Seaweed forests of the future: responses to ocean acidification and warming (2020 - 2023)$350,000

Description: We will discover how temperate seaweed forests will respond in a future ocean that is warmer and suffused withcarbon dioxide. This is highly significant because seaweed forests extend across the southern half of Australia'scoastline: they underpin tourism and aquaculture industries valued at over A$11bn/year as well as ecosystemservices including climate regulation, nutrient cycling, nursery habitat for commercially important fish, and coastalprotection from storms. It is crucial to understand how seaweed productivity might change to future-proof blueeconomyfood industries, including crayfish and abalone fisheries that rely on seaweeds as nurseries, food andshelter. Australia's globally unique cool-water systems require tailored management strategies founded on theresearch-based knowledge of carbon uptake and productivity the project will provide.

Uncovering the Unseen: the sublethal impacts of plastic ingestion on shearwaters (2019 - 2021)$10,890

Description: Plastic is ubiquitous in the marine environment, and because of its pervasive nature, this pollutant poses a major threat for wildlife. Documentation of the impacts of plastic have been limited to effects that are visible and therefore more readily quantified (i.e., entanglement). However, scientific focus is shifting towards the 'invisible' or sub-lethal impacts that occur when plastic is ingested by myriad wildlife. The associated chemicals and biota introduced by plastics as well as it's potential to cause severe stress to an animal is largely understudied, particularly in marine vertebrates. The Flesh-Footed Shearwater (Ardenna carniepes) population on Lord Howe Island is in decline, largely due to the ingestion of plastic, with 90-100% of the fledgling birds having plastic in their digestive tract. Using a lab-based approach to verify field observations, my project will explore the impact of plastic ingestion using applied animal health techniques. Histopathology will explore the physical impacts of plastic particles at the tissue level. I will correlate the number of plastic items ingested with lesions and necrosis documented in the soft tissues of the birds. Metagenomic techniques, will describe how plastic and the marine phyla it carries may influence a bird's gut microbiome. Together, these techniques will also determine if stress from the ingestion of plastic results in higher susceptibility of disease. Finally, exploring the ecotoxicology of plastic and its associated chemicals will provide a sound understanding of the hazard items pose when ingested by wildlife. I expect to publish these findings in high impact journals with broad readership in order to add to the growing body of literature which highlights plastic pollution as a growing global threat.

Cawthron Collaborative Research for three PhD Operating & TAG Travel Costs (2018 - 2021)$89,650

Description: This is a PhD project located at IMAS and funded by Cawthron Institute, NZ from a MBIE grant.This is an exciting opportunity to link in with international research on aquaculture of a salmonid species (chinook salmon) and to gain skills and experience in forward looking technology around molecular biology and recirculation aquaculture systems. The research will focus on understanding the impact of genome (family) and environmental change under controlled conditions on chinook salmon. Environmental variables include temperature, salinity and pH because these impact on local NZ industry performance and sustainability. Research will advance fundamental knowledge about the chinook salmon proteome and how proteomics can be used to understand drivers of growth and growth efficiency. The project will develop proteomic based methods and relate this to other molecular based approaches. The research will contribute to sustainable aquaculture by understanding what happens to salmon when exposed to various situations that may be encountered in aquaculture. It will equip you with a range of new skills from maintenance of fish to advance molecular analyses.

Development of an amoebic gill disease vaccine to protect Atlantic salmon (2017 - 2020)$375,000

Description: Amoebic gill disease (AGD) is the most significant health problem affecting Atlantic salmon aquaculture inTasmania, which is the largest and most economically important aquaculture industry in the country. In the lastdecade, AGD has become a legitimate health threat to the multibillion dollar global Atlantic salmon industry. Giventhe well-documented 10-20% production cost associated with AGD to the Tasmanian industry it is clear a solutionis needed before AGD fully establishes itself in the largest Atlantic salmon producing nations. This project aims toidentify candidate vaccine antigens and produce an experimental vaccine against AGD that will benefit theTasmanian and international Atlantic salmon aquaculture industries.

Blood flukes in Southern Bluefin Tuna (2015 - 2017)$21,000

Description: Based on its value Southern Bluefin Tuna (SBT) industry is one of the most important fish producedin Australia. It is based on ranching 2-3year old wild SBT. Blood flukes Cardicola forsteri and Cardicola orientalis are the most significant health issues for ranched SBT (Hardy-Smith et al 2012, Polinski et al 2013). This project will focus on those blood flukes. Currently, the infection can be assessed using heart flushes and direct count of blood flukes under a microscope. This is very time consuming and requires working with fresh samples, thus limiting the number of fish which can be processed at any one time. As a result it is difficult to accurately monitor the dynamics of infection to assess effects of treatments or other husbandry strategies.
