Aquaculture
With increasing demand for high quality seafood, aquaculture is a growing industry in NSW. The Aquaculture Management and Research sections of NSW Department of Primary Industries are responsible for working with aquaculture industries, the community and other agencies to ensure aquaculture develops in a sustainable manner.
We have conducted extensive research for farming species such as oysters, silver perch, and marine fish (snapper, mulloway and yellowtailed kingfish) and support the transfer of this technology to industry. Aquaculture development in NSW can provide employment and economic growth in rural NSW and support the future food security needs of the state.. [ more ]
