This is very interesting. I had heard that Akoyas were starting to be produced just north of Sydney (that would be the Port Stephens reference) - and maybe in Harvey Bay - Queensland. These are not close by one another - maybe 1200 - 1400km or so. James Cook Uni is much further north again. I had also heard that SS were being produced near Sydney - but maybe this new species explains both.. I might try to find out more when I get back from China in a week or so..
