Embodiment Construction

[0042] As stated above, the present invention relates to improved oyster farming equipment, methods and systems. The invention is particularly applicable to the farming of intertidal oysters, such as Sydney rock oysters, but can be used for the farming of any species of oyster that is capable of surviving above water for a period of time.

[0043] The invention will be described below in the context of farming Sydney rock oysters. However, those skilled in the art will be able to adapt the teachings contained herein to culture other intertidal oysters, and indeed, in some cases, even subtidal oysters (i.e., species that can survive above water for some time). Those ones).

[0044] Modern oyster farming involves several stages. Briefly, oyster eggs are typically grown in hatcheries until they reach a size of about 3.1 mm, then ready for transfer to the estuary environment. Oyster spat are maintained in oyster spat cages until they reach a size of approximately 15mm and are g...

Abstract

Disclosed herein is an apparatus for farming oysters and, in particular, intertidal oysters. The apparatus comprises a float, at least one oyster container configured to hold oysters and be carryableon the float, and a driver operable to periodically move each of the at least one oyster container between an underwater position and an above water position.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to improvements in the practice of oyster farming. In particular, the present invention relates to improvements in intertidal oyster culture. Background technique [0002] There are high demands on the taste and nutritional quality of oysters. Oysters are high in protein, contain a range of minerals and other nutrients (including iron, copper, zinc, iodine, magnesium, calcium, manganese, selenium and phosphorus), and are low in fat and carbohydrates. Demand for oysters continues to grow both in Australia and around the world. [0003] However, oyster farming remains somewhat cottage industry in nature. Although Australia has some of the best oyster farming conditions in the world, the current industry is still dominated by hundreds of small farms. Many of these farms have been operating for decades using ancient processes and equipment which, while producing high quality products, are small scale. However, to meet the...
