• Resumen

  • In a pleasant spot on Tasmania's coast, Barilla Bay Oyster Farm has been growing and serving oysters for more than three decades. Farm manager Justin Goc says the information will help him make better decisions. The farm is one of a handful of places that have joined a trial organized by Sense-T, a government-funded project to build a sensor network across Tasmania, that aims to link up several types of existing sensors, as well as install new ones, to create an agricultural database. Sensor technology is now sophisticated enough to be able to monitor an oyster's heartbeat.
