Farming is difficult … and farming under water even more so!
This helps to explain why the oyster industry has remained stagnant for nearly 40 years as mitigating factors of tides, barnacles, weather, and disease, have turned oyster farming into an alchemy difficult to teach, and even more difficult to scale.
Now an oyster farmer with 15 years’ experience under his waders, Ewan McAsh, has launched SmartOysters, an app-based platform for oyster farmers to streamline their own unique aquaculture practice and scale production to unprecedented levels, lower the price of oysters to consumers and maximise export capabilities.
