Summary

This visiting expert grant allowed exposure of two European mollusc researchers, Dr Pierre Boudry and Dr Helen McCombie, to the Australian shellfish industry, in particular the oyster industry.

Information and advice were passed directly on to Australian researchers and farmers in regards to lessons learnt in Europe, especially those as a result of the 2008 oyster mortality crisis. Positive feedback was received from both Dr Boudry and Dr McCombie in terms of management of the farms and the close links between research and industry that were observed in this field.
