Pacific Hybreed will be collaborating with three leading US shellfish researchers in a new project designed to produce disease-resistant eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica).

Pacific Hybreed was founded to commercialise the seminal research of its founders, Dennis Hedgecock and Joth Davis, which demonstrated hybrid vigour in Pacific oysters, and resulted in the production of hybrids with significant improvements in yield, survival and uniformity.
