This project aims to investigate the impact of global environmental change on the survival of Australia’s oyster industry, by combining the science of genetics, physiology and ecology to identify already resilient oysters. Through the first complete understanding of resilience in oysters, including the trade-offs they have made in other fitness traits, the project develops new capacities to 'climate and future-proof' our natural oyster populations and the Australian oyster industry, to enable the restoration of degraded oyster habitats. This project will ensure the future of an iconic and economically important national industry and food source and contribute to preserving the critical cultural links of Indigenous Australians with their lands.

该项目旨在调查全球环境变化对澳大利亚牡蛎产业生存的影响，通过结合遗传学、生理学和生态学来识别已经有弹性的牡蛎。通过首次全面了解牡蛎的适应能力，包括它们在其他适应性特征上所做的权衡，该项目开发了新的能力，以“适应气候和未来”我们的天然牡蛎种群和澳大利亚牡蛎产业，使退化的牡蛎栖息地得以恢复。该项目将确保一个具有标志性和经济重要性的国家工业和食物来源的未来，并有助于保护澳大利亚土著居民与其土地的重要文化联系。
