Aquaculture

Supporting the aquaculture industry

We work with businesses and the community to promote ecological sustainability of aquaculture in South Australia.

This includes seeking opportunities for development, as well as supporting aquatic animal health through disease prevention, surveillance, education, and risk management.

About aquaculture

  • delivering scientific research and innovation.

In 2022–23 our seafood industry generated $0.48 billion in farmgate revenue for South Australia – learn more in the seafood toolkit.
