Many oyster farmers abandoned Hong Kong’s traditional method of cultivating oysters on posts driven into mudflats for this more modern technique. In the process, they are moving the posts seaward, where the intertidal zone is wetter and oysters thrive, and restoring the landward soft shore and seagrass intertidal habitats to a more natural state.

Scarlett is a gemstone located in a not-well-visited part of Tsim Sha Tsui. With a great menu, spot-on execution and a very ranged wine-list, I’m just glad that I can come more often than just the normal wine-and-dine evenings. The number of outbreaks and people sick has been steady in Hong Kong for the past three years.

“The value of oyster reefs is proven, but we need to restore them,” Law adds. Hong Kong’s oysters, and its oyster farmers, are threatened by development, warming and acidifying marine waters brought on by climate change, and toxic algae blooms due to pollution. Clam, prawn, scallops, oyster, etc are all super good.

Heavy metal contamination is a particular problem, which holds challenges for exploitation of oysters as a food source (e.g. ). Ocean acidification is an emerging threat to the conservation and sustainability of the oyster, especially due to the vulnerability of the thin-shelled spat . Meanwhile, the presence of antibiotic resistant bacteria in oysters is a growing problem with significant potential negative health consequences . Taking into account the above challenges, the production and availability of high-quality genomic resources for this species is particularly important. YL carried out the homeobox gene analyses; WN carried out the genome analyses; TB carried out the transposable elements analyses; WN and TS carried out the genome assembly; AH, DEKF, JHLH supervised the study and wrote the manuscript. All authors approved the final version of the manuscript.
