Sustainability
With increased uncertainty about the future of traditional wild-caught fisheries in Australia, aquaculture has an important role to play in providing sustainable seafood into the future.
Sustainability With AAQ
An increased emphasis on sustainability and providence among discerning consumers has driven our growers to undertake best management practices throughout production.
Members of the AAQ continually strive to grow fish with minimal impact on the surrounding environment and upgrade and improve techniques to enhance the sustainability of our industry.
Effective and efficient use of water, use of solar power, reliable and accountable culture methods, and a dedication to create a premium fish for end users will ensure our members maintain a level of excellence in terms of sustainability.
The smaller scale and negligible impact on the natural environment compared to larger marine aquaculture operations make native freshwater fish a natural choice for a cleaner, greener future.
