Methods For Producing Cultured Pearls In Conch and Other Gastropods

Prior to the development of this technology, there was no method for culturing pearls in conch and other gastropods. This novel method overcomes the challenge of extracting the pearl without killing the conch, which was previously a daunting task because of the odd shape of the animal. Additionally, this unique process allows for a large number of pearls...

System and Methods for Larval Fish Enumeration and Growth Monitoring

Current methods of enumeration and growth monitoring for larval fish are manual, which require significant resources and suffer from inaccuracy. This new tool allows for reliable enumeration and continuous growth monitoring in a non-intrusive manner. The system is comprised of an image capture front end, which utilizes a light field rendering camera...
