Aquaculture

The Shire is home to numerous trout, salmon and caviar producers who have been able to successfully capitalise on the suitable climate and necessary access to clean cold water. The expanding aquaculture industry currently supplies over 80% of Australia’s farmed trout stock for the wholesale and restaurant trade.

The presence of this innovative and strong sector provides an appealing point of difference for the Shire and presents an attractive entry-point to established markets for investors interested in contributing to the sustainable fisheries sector.
