TAGS
The introduction of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas into Tasmanian waters has led to a large population of feral Pacific oysters. This resource is to the most part under utilised and generally viewed as a pest. Harvesting this resource would provide both social and environmental benefits. To achieve the maximum economic benefit for the community from the utilisation of wild harvest Pacific oysters there is a need to develop value-added products. With this in mind the aim of this report is to investigate the level of interest among consumers, for new products using wild harvest Pacific oyster meat.
