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.
