This project aims to grow our understanding of disease in oysters following extreme weather events such as heatwaves and floods. Working with industry partners, I will use field and lab-based experiments to determine the underlying causes of oyster mortality following extreme weather. Critically, this project will trial real solutions to reduce disease including selective breeding and co-culture of seaweeds. Expected outcomes include new knowledge on the causes of bacterial disease in aquaculture and real progress towards solutions to mitigate oyster disease following extreme weather events. This project expects to enable the iconic Australian oyster aquaculture industry to grow despite the extreme weather brought by climate change.

该项目旨在加深我们对热浪和洪水等极端天气事件后牡蛎疾病的了解。我将与行业合作伙伴合作，利用现场和实验室实验来确定极端天气后牡蛎死亡的根本原因。至关重要的是，该项目将尝试减少疾病的真正解决方案，包括海藻的选择性育种和共培养。预期成果包括关于水产养殖细菌性疾病成因的新知识，以及在极端天气事件后减轻牡蛎疾病解决方案方面取得的实际进展。尽管气候变化带来了极端天气，该项目仍有望使澳大利亚标志性的牡蛎养殖业得以发展。
