Abstract

Queensland’s Sydney Rock Oyster industry faces increasing challenges from warming temperatures, climatic events, and disease outbreaks. This research evaluates two tropical rock oyster species—the Blacklip Rock Oyster and the Queensland Sunshine Oyster—as alternatives better suited to Queensland conditions. Hatchery production and grow-out trials indicate superior growth and survival compared with Sydney Rock Oysters. The work supports improved climate resilience and future expansion of Queensland’s oyster industry.
