A project led by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Cooke Seafood and ±«Óãtv is using sophisticated sensors to convert a mussel's distinctive behaviour when exposed to stressors into an early detector of toxic algae. This is one of the first projects DeepSense, hosted in the Faculty, will work on.
