Ardyaloon Trochus Hatchery & Aquaculture Centre

The Ardyaloon Hatchery was established to address the declining stocks of the Trochus niloticus shell and seek to create a commercially sustainable industry harvesting the shell.

The hatchery has been successful in restocking juvenile trochus to support community members commercially fishing for the species and for sale to the Australian aquarium industry. Join an experienced local guide on a fascinating and educational tour of the Ardyaloon Hatchery which contains a diverse range of fish, coral and crustacean species.
