Traditional owners are hoping to share a Tiwi Island delicacy with the world. The Mantiyupwi Clan are part of a world first trial in Black Lip Oyster Farming which they want to take to a global market in the next two years.
Mantiyupwi clan member Les Morris Ullungurra says they're looking for new ways of harvesting traditional foods - starting with the Black-lip oyster.
Evan Needham from the Darwin Aquaculture Centre says researchers have been collecting spawn from wild oysters and feeding them on a formula of algae until they’re big enough to release.
