Shellfish Hatchery

SeaGen Aquaculture offers oyster, mussel and scallop hatchery services to Australian growers. We specialise in Sydney rock oysters, Angasi oysters and blue mussels.

On demand, we can produce commercial scallops, doughboy scallops, clams and a range of other bivalves.

Our shellfish hatchery has a quarantine facility and can receive broodstock from interstate. Our nursery facility provides spat at a range of sizes, as single seed or settled on cultch or mussel rope.

Understanding how climate change, disease and growing urbanisation can impact your business isn't easy. Yet businesses without a plan to adapt to future environmental changes are at risk of financial collapse.

Our team of scientists and aquaculture professionals can help you understand how to manage your farm to reduce the risk of disease and climate change. We can provide you with a simple, no fuss plan of action that safeguards your production against catastrophic environmental risks.

As a full-service hatchery, we work alongside our customers to undertake research on the performance of our products throughout the farming production cycle.

We share this information with our customers to help them improve farming practices and increase yield. 

Our research also helps us to refine our breeding programs. 

Our long-term research program is focused on developing polyculture methods and products to improve the sustainability and profitability of Australia's aquaculture industry.

We’re passionate about using aquaculture to recover threatened marine species and ecosystems and help developments become nature positive. 

We partner with conservation groups, marine industries and communities to provide shellfish, seaweeds and other species such as sponges, for habitat restoration and recovery programs. 

In partnership with Seafood Positive, we help Melbourne restaurants close the circular seafood economy. We do this by supporting programs that recover fish habitats.
