About Scylla

 

Scylla was founded by Dr Colin Shelley, an internationally recognised expert in mud crab aquaculture, with over 30 years of experience in the sector. Having led mud crab R&D in Australia to commercialise hatchery and nursery technology, together with Scylla’s associates, the group has developed mud crab enterprises in the Pacific, Asia and Africa, working with a variety of commercial partners and international organisations. Scylla, through virtual networks, collaborates with a range of experts in different fields (aquaculture engineering, post-harvest, marketing, nutrition, aquaculture, farm management and systems design) to provide a comprehensive and trusted service to clients in mud crab aquaculture. As an organisation it is expanding into the growing field of Precision Aquaculture, through partnerships and distribution of goods and services. In addition Scylla works with clients in tropical aquaculture development, strategy and policy development. It also provides specialist consultancy  for other tropical aquaculture species, including barramundi.
