QX disease is responsible for mass mortality of oysters, and, as a result, economic and job losses. QX disease also threatens ecosystem services provided by wild oysters, such as biodiversity enhancement and fish production. This project will provide estuarine managers with information about how proposed QX management solutions will impact wild oyster populations and vital ecosystem services. It will also contribute to training of early career researchers in strategies to ensure the sustainable use of Australia's biodiversity. As QX outbreaks appear to be increasing, this research and training is urgently needed to underpin management to ensure long-term sustainability of valuable estuarine resources.

QX病是牡蛎大量死亡的原因，并因此造成经济和就业损失。QX疾病还威胁到野生牡蛎提供的生态系统服务，如生物多样性增强和鱼类生产。该项目将为河口管理者提供有关拟议的QX管理解决方案将如何影响野生牡蛎种群和重要生态系统服务的信息。它还将有助于对早期职业研究人员进行战略培训，以确保澳大利亚生物多样性的可持续利用。随着QX爆发似乎越来越多，迫切需要这种研究和培训来加强管理，以确保宝贵的河口资源的长期可持续性。
