The document discusses the Australian oyster industry and opportunities for investment in research and development. It notes that Oysters Australia was formed in 2011 to increase the value of the industry through increased production and prices. Several completed R&D projects are summarized, focusing on areas like selective breeding, supply chain analysis, and consumer research. Upcoming discussions will explore benchmarking results across Australian states, a marketing project with retail partners, and the potential for a national levy to replace state R&D levies. Immediate topics to be discussed include a norovirus survey and potentially fast-tracking breeding for resistance to Pacific Oyster Mortality Syndrome.
