Oyster’s “revolution”
Do you hear the oysters sing?
Singing the song of stressy ones?
It is the music of the oysters
Who will not be alive for long!
When the beating of oyster’s heart
Echoes the beating of the drama.
There is a tragedy about to start
When tomorrow comes.
Cardiac activity as a health biomarker
Heart rate ~ metabolic rate
Heart rate ~ exercise

Impedance vs. Infrared
Impedance
Invasive
Short periods of real-time monitoring (minutes)
Any shell thickness
Simple signal
Laboratory
Infrared
Non-invasive
Long periods of real-time monitoring (months)
Thin shell thickness
Complex signal
Laboratory & field potential
Implications of wireless heart monitor
Physiological & physical responses
Disease/stress detection
Phenotypic responses incorporated with gene responses
Pollution monitoring
Climate change
Husbandry & farm management
Selective breeding
