Explore how AI, data science, and predictive biology are transforming oyster aquaculture. Interact with real research data, build machine-learning models, and discover the future of sustainable food production.
Dive into real research data from oyster breeding programs across the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific coasts. See how environmental priming and AI-driven phenotyping are rewriting the rules of shellfish production.
Visualize how oyster families from different breeding programs respond to temperature, salinity, and disease pressure across six field sites. Filter by genetic line, priming treatment, and coastline.
Interactive DataUse the project's machine-learning models to predict offspring performance. Choose broodstock, apply priming treatments, select deployment environments, and see how your choices shape survival and growth.
Machine LearningRun a virtual metabolic phenotyping experiment. Watch fluorescence change in real time, calculate metabolic rates, and compare families to see how early-life measurements predict field outcomes.
Virtual LabExplore ocean conditions across U.S. oyster-growing regions. Layer temperature, salinity, pH, and disease data to understand the multi-stressor environments that shape aquaculture decisions.
GeospatialDesign your own priming experiment: choose stressor type, intensity, and timing, then deploy virtual cohorts and compete with other users to maximize survival using data-driven strategies.
GamifiedMeet the scientists, data engineers, hatchery managers, and marine economists behind the project. Explore diverse careers at the intersection of biology, technology, and food production.
ProfilesA browser-based coding sandbox where you write R or Python to explore project datasets, build visualizations, and train your own predictive models. No installation required.
A dedicated workspace for hatchery managers, growers, and breeders. Access predictive tools, benchmark your operations, and connect with the research driving next-generation shellfish production.
Input your resazurin assay results and environmental conditions to receive AI-generated performance predictions for your seed cohorts. Compare families across priming treatments and optimize planting decisions using portfolio theory.
Integrated with the Objective 3 risk-assessment and portfolio-optimization engine, the industry dashboard helps growers construct seed portfolios along the efficient frontier, balancing expected yield against environmental risk for their specific lease sites.
Upload phenotyping data from resazurin assays and receive survival and growth forecasts for specific deployment environments, powered by the project's validated ML models.
