Customized Shellfish Record Management

Future Solutions Now

SHELLFISH DATA MANAGEMENT (SDM) has been developed by Bolduans Bay Oysters Pty Ltd from over 20 years practical experience in the shellfish farming industry. With the software programme based on "Microsoft Access 2000", it uses an up to date platform that features the latest developments in database design and functionality.

 

Versions
There are currently 3 versions of the Shellfish Data Management database.

SDM 2: Standard
For use by traditional farms that purchase their stock inputs from hatcheries or nurseries.

SDM 3: Abalone

Designed for and in conjunction with onshore abalone farms.


SDM 5: Hatchery
For use by Hatchery Producers where stock batches or groups are produced from introduced brood stock. Both databases are customisable to the users needs in order to accommodate ALL facets of shellfish farming.
To make a seamless transition from your current record management system, SDM has incorporated the ability to use your current terminologies to describe your "day to day" activities such as sizes, products, holding units, sites, batches and tanks, racks or lines.

Features
Multiple sites
With shellfish farms often being diverse operations with multiple sites, SDM can record and report information relevant to an unlimited number of sites AND combine them for overall management reporting.

Multiple species
For shellfish farms that currently produce multiple species, or as farms diversify into new species, SDM has the ability to manage and report on multiple species of shellfish within a farming enterprise. New species can be added at any time without compromising the current data.

Follow each BATCH or GROUP of stock introduced to, or produced by the enterprise. Compile information and reports on company sites, locations (racks, lines or tanks) and storage units, with the ability to find and report on;

1. Batch / Group History
