  • Aquaculture in Western Australia
    Fact Sheet: Aquaculture in Western Australia Region North Coast, Gascoyne Coast, West Coast, South Coast Summary Despite Western Australia’s long coastline, our aquaculture industry is small by global standards – but it is growing and diversifying, with exciting opportunities on the horizon. Aside from contributing to food security, aquaculture creates employment and business opportunities in areas such as feed and equipment manufacturing. It also has direct and indirect economic benefits to the state, particularly in regional areas. In 2017-18, the total value of WA’s commercial fisheries and aquaculture production was $633 million. Of this, pearling (which is mostly commercially farmed) contributed $52 million (8%) and aquaculture $27 million (4%). Location of main aquaculture species farmed in Western Australia. Generated on 28/09/2021 https://marinewaters.fish.wa.gov.au/resource/fact-sheet-aquaculture-in-western-australia/ Page 1 of 8 Production for the Western Australian aquaculture industry in 2016/17 Current production – main aquaculture species in WA Barramundi Lates cacarifer Popular native table fish with high market demand which is sold as whole fish, live fish and fillets. WA’s barramundi production is largely located in the Kimberley region, at Cone Bay. Barramundi can be farmed in indoor recirculating systems, land-based ponds and sea cages. For more detailed information about barramundi aquaculture in Australia, see: https://www.agrifutures.com.au/farm-diversity/barramundi-aquaculture/ Barramundi farm in Cone Bay Rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss Good eating fish that is popular with freshwater anglers. Trout was introduced to Australia for recreational fishing and aquaculture. It is difficult for the species to spawn naturally in WA’s conditions, so they are artificially bred in earthen and concrete ponds at the Pemberton Freshwater Research Centre.

  • Inland Saline Aquaculture: Overcoming Biological and Technical Constraints Towards the Development of an Industry
    Inland Saline Aquaculture: Overcoming Biological and Technical Constraints Towards the Development of an Industry. By Gavin J. Partridge BSc (Hons) A Thesis presented for the Award of Doctor of Philosophy to the School of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences at Murdoch University, Western Australia Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. Signed…………………………….. Acknowledgements When I started on this journey I wasn’t even married. I now have a wife and two kids; who said it wouldn’t take long! Firstly to all of my family, Joanne, Will and Caitlin, Mum and Dad, Mark, Karen and Sarah a sincere thanks for all of your support and encouragement over the last six years and beyond. Another big thanks to my supervisor Alan Lymbery and to all of my work colleagues, particularly to Greg Jenkins for his support, willingness to allow me to study part-time and encouragement to get it finished. Gavin Sarre for all of his assistance in the field and everyone else who provided technical assistance along the way including Gavin Kay, Damon Bourke and Rob Michael. Another big thanks to Ian McRobert and Bruce Ginbey, co-inventors of the Semi Intensive Floating Tank System (SIFTS) technology. I would also like to thank Challenger TAFE for providing me with financial support and the opportunity to combine full-time work and part-time study. The project was also supported by Murdoch University, the Australian Department of Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture, the Department of Conservation and Land Management, the Western Australian Department of Education and Training’s Science and Innovation Strategy, the Australian Government’s National Aquaculture Council and the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation.

  • Aquaculture in Australia
    AQUACULTURE IN AUSTRALIA Aquaculture is the fastest growing primary industry in Australia; in fact it is the fastest growing food production sector in the world. With limited room for expansion in wild catch fisheries together with an ever-increasing world population, there is a heavy reliance on aquaculture as the means for fish production to meet world demand. The Australian aquaculture industry in 2007-2008 was valued at $868 million, and accounted for approximately a third of the total gross value production of the seafood industry. Most of the aquaculture species in Australia are high value species aiming for export markets. Australian aquaculture producers comply with a range of federal, state and local government environmental laws and codes of practice that ensure the long-term sustainability of the industry and the environment. According to FAO (2011) the total Australian aquaculture production has evolved: 1986: 9,083 t - when production was mostly Oysters, and Atlantic Salmon farming was embryonic (10 t); 1999: 29,303 t; 2009: 64,535 t - by which time Atlantic Salmon production had reached nearly 30,000 t and the production of farmed Tuna, marine Shrimp and marine fish were significant sectors of Australian aquaculture. Aquaculture Species There are over forty species being commercially produced in Australian aquaculture, most of the production comes from high value species. The top five species are Tuna; Pearl Oysters; Atlantic Salmon; Edible Oysters and Prawns. The aquaculture industry is largely based in regional Australia and makes a significant and positive contribution to regional development. State industry profiles (see separate sheet on Victoria): South Australia South Australia is a State of opportunity, and few sectors demonstrate this more clearly than the aquaculture industry hence World Aquaculture 2014 will take place in Adelaide 7-11 June 2014.

  • Barramundi Culture in Australia « Global Aquaculture Advocate
    9/9/2019 Barramundi culture in Australia « Global Aquaculture Advocate (https://www.aquaculturealliance.org) MARKETPLACE (/ADVOCATE/CATEGORY/MARKETPLACE) Barramundi culture in Australia Tuesday, 1 May 2007 By Dr. Matthew Bransden Hardy, spirited sh are wildly active feeders Barramundi (Lates calcarifer) is the iconic Australian sh. World-renowned by game shermen as an impressive ghter, big “barras” draw international visitors to Australia in search of the prize sh. Their ghting spirit is duly matched by their hardy nature and excellent esh characteristics, which have led to the development of aquaculture of the species. Barramundi aquaculture took hold in Australia in the 1980s, with current annual production volumes approaching 4,000 metric tons (MT) of the estimated global production of about 30,000 MT. Production is increasing steadily at around 10 percent annually. The dynamic sh are also becoming well traveled. Recirculation systems growing barramundi have been developed in the United States, Holland, United Kingdom, and Asia. Plans for further development in Europe and the U.S. are also well advanced, as are operations in India and Sri Lanka. Some of these systems are stocked with ngerlings produced by Australian hatcheries. Production prole Barramundi culture occurs in every mainland state of Australia in a variety of systems, including recirculation units, earthen ponds, and sea pens. Pond culture is typical in the warmer environments of tropical Queensland, while recirculation systems are more common in cooler southern states, where water heating is essential to maintain optimum temperatures for growth of at least 25 degrees-C. https://www.aquaculturealliance.org/advocate/barramundi-culture-in-australia/?headlessPrint=AAAAAPIA9c8r7gs82oWZBA 1/4 9/9/2019 Barramundi culture in Australia « Global Aquaculture Advocate Barramundi are catadromous sh that require broodstock and larvae to be reared in seawater, while grow-out can occur in either fresh-or seawater.
