    A Comparison of the Natural Resource Management Regimes of Tasmania and Taiwan by Henry Cheng-li Chen B Sc, Chinese Culture University, Taipei, M Env St, University of Tasmania Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Environmental Studies) Centre for Environmental Studies School of Geography and Environmental Studies University of Tasmania Hobart, Australia February, 2000 DECLARATION Accept where duly acknowledged, this thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any degree or diploma in any tertiary institution and, to the best of the candidate's knowledge and belief, contains no material previously published or written by another person, expect when due reference in made. Signed AUTHORITY OF ACCESS This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance With the Copyright Act 1968. Signed •/1-1///---- i'2-41/° I. ABSTRACT This thesis examines and compares two natural resource management regimes, those of the Australian State of Tasmania and the sovereign state of Taiwan, with a focus upon their respective terrestrial natural reserve systems. Recommendations for future improvements are made for both islands. Taiwan is an island about half the size of Tasmania, yet the former has a population more than 48 times greater than the latter. The two island ecosystems are similar in some respects, but the contrasts are more marked than the similarities. It would be beneficial for both islands to share their experiences of natural resource management. This study undertakes such a comparison with a view to facilitating exchange of knowledge in the field of environmental management.

  • THE HISTORY of HUON • Huon Aquaculture (Huon) Was Founded in 1986 in Southern Tasmania by a Local Huon Valley Farming Family, the Benders
    September 2020 THE HISTORY OF HUON • Huon Aquaculture (Huon) was founded in 1986 in Southern Tasmania by a local Huon Valley farming family, the Benders. The Benders started Huon as a diversification from the family farming business. At this point the business consisted of one pen of fish and one lone employee feeding fish by hand. • In 1994, Peter and Frances Bender purchased Huon from the family group and became contract growers, selling their fish to other companies. In 2002, they began marketing their salmon under the ‘Huon Salmon’ brand. At the same time, they invested in new harvesting capabilities and infrastructure. In this year Huon also began harvesting and selling Huon Salmon Caviar. • In 2005, they stepped out from behind the contract grower model and the Huon Aquaculture brand was established. 2006 was the year Huon developed a recirculation hatchery at Lonnavale, which supplied 40 per cent of annual smolt requirements. • 2006 marked the purchase of the Springs Smoked Seafoods factory in Adelaide’s Mount Barker, enabling Huon to offer a complete range of products from whole fresh fish to smoked salmon. • Huon started farming Ocean Trout in 2008 (in Macquarie Harbour), at which time they also acquired the Trumpeter Bay offshore lease in Storm Bay. • In 2009, Huon purchased the Parramatta Creek land with the intention of creating a processing facility that would see the business control 100 per cent of its production line in one location, from fresh whole fish to finished packaged product. • Huon launched Reserve Selection in 2010, and in doing so, took an innovative step into online retail.
