management of biotoxins in bivalve shellfish
in Tasmania. This project involves world
experts in the field and will ensure that
sampling is conducted in a cost-effective and
practical way while shellfish continues to be
harvested safely.
The first stage of our environmental sensor
network for shellfish farming areas has also
been completed. A detailed assessment of
all shellfish harvest areas in Tasmania has
been completed, providing recommendations
for sensor locations, and the findings are
currently being reviewed. This network will
greatly improve the management of shellfish
harvest areas in the state by providing real-
time, continuous data for parameters such as
Oyster washing machine, Tarkine Fresh Oysters salinity and water temperature.

challenge for the industry, which generates

Associate Professor Lyle said the challenge
was to combine insights from social and

who value them.
“The project will benefit from the input of
seafood market and business analyst Tom
Cosentino,” he said.
“Tom has had success with new systems for
selling scalefish in South Australia, including
online systems for more direct fisher–
