Superior Pedigree
Our shellfish broodstock management program ensures traceability of parentage. Broodstock are carefully evaluated and selected to ensure the next generation is yet another superior product. We select for optimum shape, meat size and growth rates to produce larvae which are top quality from day one.
Did you know? Each mature Pacific oyster filters 6 litres of water every hour.
Pristine Conditions
Our hatcheries are located for best access to the pristine marine waters of Tasmania. This provides an edge in creating the best possible environment for production of top quality seed. Nothing grows as beautifully as shellfish that have been nurtured, encouraged and tended to with absolute care in a clean, green environment.
Did you know? Ocean’s cover about 71% of the earth’s surface, yet algae produce more than 71% of the earth’s oxygen. Apart from being a food source, algae also help remove huge amounts of carbon dioxide.
Awesome Algae
Our larvae are fed a varied diet of nutrient-rich and invigorating algae, the perfect food. Our depth of experience in creating the best possible balance of food has resulted in a superior product line that is consistent in its quality.
