Tasmania's Salmon Aquaculture Industry

We’ve seen and heard the word “sustainability” but what does it really mean?

For the Tasmanian salmon industry, it means having the ability to continue to farm while not impacting the environment. We think it is normal, good practice to be a sustainable company. Aquaculture relies on the health of the water and waterways; healthy waterways means healthy stock and in turn, a healthy business. The environment is at the centre of everything we do; across our freshwater hatcheries, our marine farms, our processing facilities and all our other service, support and corporate operations.

Feed Ingredients

The ingredients in salmon feed, like all stock feed in Australia, are rigorously controlled and audited, and fully traceable back to the original source. All feed ingredients are approved under the Australian Stockfeed and Petfood Regulations, governed by the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA).

• Feed is formulated to meet a specification that changes with each stage of the salmon’s growth, and industry suppliers manufacture to this specification. In Australia.
• Our fish must be fed with food that provides all the energy and nutrients they need to thrive, grow, and stay healthy. Industry works with our feed supplier to continually refine our feed to optimise fish health and wellbeing.
