The absence of a cost-effective, scalable, rapid, and non-destructive method for product quality assessment limits aquaculture marketability and breeding programs. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) addresses these challenges by providing a portable approach for compound quantification. This research project aims to develop NIRS models to estimate glycogen concentrations in whole pearl oyster (Pinctada imbricata) samples and bromoform (CHBr₃) levels in Asparagopsis taxiformis oil extracts, enabling a commercially viable quality assessment tool.

JCU Team: Lenel Ahwan , Carla Ewels, Dean Jerry and Anna Wilson
Industry Partners: Broken Bay Pearl and Sea Forest
