Get shucked cultivates the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, it is native to the pacific coast of Asia. It was first introduced to Tasmania in the 1940's. Oysters sold as Tasmanian oysters are more often than not Pacific oysters. The true native oyster is called Angasi. Although few people bother themselves with the monotonous lifestyle of the oyster, many throughout history have spent enormous amounts of time and money growing and seeking out this delicious little humble creature of the sea.When the water temperature is right (20degrees +) and there's full moon on an outgoing tide; adult oysters spawn. They shoot millions of eggs and sperm into the water; so many that the water can take on a milky appearance. Fertilization takes place. The baby oysters drift in the currents for 3 weeks until they become too heavy. They then find something hard to attach themselves to, they are now about 7mm long and are called spat. It will take from 18 months to 4 years to grow to a size fit for your table. Most, if not all oysters begin as male and change to female later in their life. 11:20am - Bruny Island Berry Farm Bruny Island Berry Farm is located at “Woodleigh”, a 12-hectare beachfront property at Adventure Bay on South Bruny Island.
