SCRC: RTG: Laboratory visit to be trained to analyse oyster (Sydney Rock Oysters) histology sections, Elizabeth Macarthur Agricultural Institute, NSW
Final report
While histology and its meaningful analysis are important skills to possess, most histological work conducted at the University of the Sunshine Coast heavily focuses on human histology, with some vertebrate histology, whereas knowledge about the analysis of oyster histology slides is lacking.
This grant allowed the student to visit the Elizabeth Macarthur Agricultural Institute (EMAI) in NSW to learn the skills needed to histologically analyse oyster tissue.
