About
Pacific Hybreed is a Kailua-Kona, Hawaii-based aquaculture biotechnology company commercializing hybrid breeding in shellfish — the first company to apply 'hybrid vigor' techniques (long used in agriculture) to oysters and clams without genetic modification. The company's high-performance seed delivers approximately 30% greater yield and up to 50% reductions in harvesting costs through more uniform growth, tailored to specific farm conditions. Pacific Hybreed operates at the OTEC facility in Kailua-Kona and serves over 20 farm customers and research sites across North America. The company raised a $1 million funding round in May 2026 backed by Hawaiʻi Angels and Blue Startups, and is led by CEO Melissa DellaTorre.
