Bio-security controls

The hatchery was designed and constructed to take advantage of the pristine local water quality and to enable the maintenance of strict bio-security standards - it benefits from a state-of-the-art bio-security treatment system and individual, temperature-controlled water supplies throughout the building.

​

The hatchery features 3 broodstock conditioning rooms, two separate larval rearing rooms and 3 settlement / nursery rooms. 

Each room in the hatchery has separate access and isolated drainage so that quarantine conditions can be maintained as required. 

​

The hatchery is equipped and ready to meet translocation protocols for sites in WA and the eastern states.
