This is a picture of the first successful female Barramundi spawner in Western Australian Aquafarming.

 

"In 2000 Kel Gordon was the first person in WA to successfully spawn Barramundi while working at the Broome TAFE as a lecturer. He achieved the first and second successful spawning of Barramundi in Western Australia.

Those progeny became the backbone of the Lake Argyle Aquafarming Industry. "Kel improved hatchery spawning procedures and protocol. The Broome TAFE hatchery had been unsuccessful for about 18 months prior. Kel worked on the fish hatchery project for only 5 weeks". (M. Johnston)

 

 

In 1985, as a second year student, Kel Gordon was the only person in the Southern Hemisphere to successfully spawn abalone. During the same year his experiments designed to artificially fatten broodstock oysters with 'baby formula' were simply incredible. Oysters were in spawning condition in 14 days. Later as an established fish farmer he lectured on warm water aquaculture at UTAS Launceston. (N. Forteath)

 

In 1989 Kel's silver perch fish farm designs were 20 years ahead of their time. Forget fisheries, his recirculating silver perch aquafarm in Taree was the best I'd seen in the country. (W. Widowski)

In 1994 Kel was a guest aquaculture person for the Government in Hubi Province China. His expertise in fish transportation and knowledge of Australian Native species greatly assisted with the introduction of Silver Perch and Australian Bass. (Ass Prof. Wang Jaxii Wuhan)

 

 

Kel worked with us in Fiji in 2003. His help in setting up our aquaculture lab and assistance in our coral aquaculture projects was greatly appreciated.

While here Kel caught wild P monodon and successfully spawned females on site in our facilities, which incidentally, he constructed.

(Tim Mcloud, Walt Smith International Fiji)

 

 

 

 

I met Kel Gordon when he became managing aquatic biologist for Cumminscorp Limited early in 2006. His understanding of recirculating processes was the main reason the aquaculture park was able to function. His ability to manage staff and impart aquafarming knowledge gained him considerable respect.
