AQUACULTURE STATUS REPORT AND INDUSTRY RESOURCES


SummaryFor the financial year 2008/2009 data on aquaculture (both hatchery-nursery and growout) production and the value of this production has been collated from a number of government and industry sources.

Almost 70,900 tonnes of product were harvested (the highest ever recorded) as well as over 9.2 million juveniles (mostly finfish) produced in hatcheries for recreational and conservation stocking (3.0 million Aquarium Fish are included in these figures). The total farm gate value of production was $888.4 million, a decrease of 25% over the 2006/2007 figure ($799.6 million) provided by O’Sullivan and Savage (2010). This is the second highest value Australian aquaculture has reached (2007/08 was $911.4 million).

In order of value of production, the ten most valuable sectors were Salmonids ($329.9 million, up $2.5 million, 0.7%), Southern Bluefin Tuna ($157.8 million, down $28.9million, -15.5%), Pearl Oysters ($106.3 million, down $26.1 million, -19.7%), Edible Oysters ($88.7 million, up $5.9 million, 6.7%), Prawns ($56.8 million, up $12 million, 26.7%), Barramundi ($36.6 million, down $2.1 million, -5.2%), Abalone ($20.3 million, up $2.8 million, 20.7%), Yellowtail Kingfish ($36.0 million, up $7.4 million, 26.0%), Mussels ($9.4 million, up $1.2 million, 13.4%) and Crocodiles ($8.8 million, up $0.7 million, 7.6%).

In terms of value for the States, the order did not change to that reported for the previous three years: Tasmania ($356.1 million, up $6.4 million, 1.9% increase, fourth year); South Australia ($249.6 million, down $13.7 million, 5.2% decrease, first year); Western Australia ($102.6 million, down $22.1 million, 17.8% decrease, fifth year); Queensland ($88.6 million, up $8.1million, 10.1% increase, third year); New South Wales ($50.3 million, up $1.9million, 3.8% increase, third year); Northern Territory ($23.6 million, down $2.1 million, 8.1% decrease, fourth year); and Victoria ($17.5 million, down $1.5 million, 7.9% decrease, sixth year).

Over the past 21 years of data collection (since 1988/89), there has been a 580% increase in the tonnes produced and a 670% increase in the value of this production.

Acknowledgements Data on hatchery-nursery production (numbers), growout production (tonnes) and value of production (Au$) was collated from information and statistics provided by the following State and Territory Government representatives:

• NSW Fisheries Website (New South Wales)

• PIRSA Website (South Australia)• Ross Lobegeiger (Queensland)• Tim Paice (Tasmania)• Vicki Simlesa and Jerome Bosmans

(Northern Territory)• Kristie Nobles (Western Australia)

Additional information supplied from various company websites or by industry members including, Rachel Hawkins, Annie Giles, Les Safark, Rene Pinxt, Mal Davidson, Sharyn (Eden Mussels) and Bell Huang. Some conference/workshop presentations as well as company and industry websites were used for adjusting data or estimating figures when firm data was not available. This report would not be possible without the assistance of these people and their input is gratefully acknowledged.

1. What Constitutes Aquaculture Production?The Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations has provided the following definition: ‘Aquaculture is the farming of aquatic organisms, including finfish, molluscs, crustaceans and aquatic plants. Farming implies some form of intervention in the rearing process to enhance production, such as regular stocking, feeding, protection from predators, etc. Farming also implies individual or corporate ownership of the stock being cultivated.’

Therefore, in addition to the culture of edible species (such as Salmon, Oysters and Prawns), aquaculture in Australia also includes:

Status of Australian Aquaculture In 2008/2009


• The harvesting of Microalgae, Brine Shrimp, Zooplankton and other organisms from water bodies which are under some form of lease and/or management;

• The culture of Aquarium and Ornamental Fish and Aquatic Plants for sale; and

• The culture of aquatic organisms for the extraction of pigments, fine chemicals, jewellery and other products such as pearls, shells and skins.

The holding of aquatic animals for the live seafood market (eg. Rock Cod, Abalone and Rock Lobster) provides significant value-adding to wild caught product. Whilst this holding phase is recognised as an aquaculture activity, the data collection processes currently used in Australia does not allow a value to be determined with any confidence.

Additionally, the value of the export of fish ova (eggs) and fingerlings should be included in these Australian production figures. Unfortunately data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics is not in a form that could be incorporated within the appropriate State totals under hatchery production.

2. Increases in Production and ValueAnnual reviews have been published by the author(s) on the total value of Australian aquaculture production for the financial years between 1988/89 and 1991/92 and between 1994/95 and 2008/09 (Table 1). During the 2 year period when no data was collected, data that had been collated by ABARE (Brown et al 1997) has been used.

Estimates of aquaculture production and value for Australia over the past twenty-one financial years are provided in Figure 1. This figure shows a reasonably steady increase in both production and value in most years since the late 1980s, only 1995/96 and 1996/97 are the exceptions to the rule.

Since then the annual increases (decreases) in value have been:

• 16.9% in 1997/98,• 18.6% in 1998/99, • 13.3% in 1999/2000,

• The hatchery/nursery production by government or private operations of Molluscan spat, Crustacean post-larvae/juveniles and Finfish fingerlings

– Note: in this report, data for hatchery production has only been included when it was referred to the:a) Stocking of public waterways (eg.

for conservation or recreational fishing enhancement),

b) Export (eg. such as Rainbow Trout eggs and Native Ornamental Finfish),

c) Stocking of private dams and ponds for own use (non commercial use), or

d) Other recreational uses (eg. Aquarium or Ornamental Fish trade).

• 5.7% in 2000/2001,• -0.4% in 2001/2002 (decrease),• -14.3% in 2002/2003 (decrease),• -5.5% in 2003/2004 (decrease),• -12.4% in 2004/2005 (decrease),• 16.3% in 2005/2006,• 5.2% in 2006/07, and • 14.0% in 2007/08, and• -2.5% in 2008/09 (current report)

(decrease).

Thus over the past 21 years of data collection, there has been a 580% increase in the tonnes produced and a 670% increase in the value of this production.

3. Estimates for 2008/093.1 Overall FiguresThe current report presents data for 2008/09 financial year and includes data from both Government and industry sources. Almost 70,900 tonnes of product were harvested (the highest ever recorded) as well as over 9.2 million juveniles (all finfish) produced in hatcheries for recreational and conservation stocking (3.0 million Aquarium Fish are included in these figures). The total farm gate value of production was $888.4 million, a decrease of 25% over the 2006/2007 figure ($799.6 million) provided by O’Sullivan and Savage (2010). This is the second highest value Australian aquaculture has reached (2007/08 was $911.4 million).

As up-to-date data has not been provided by some producers in the freshwater and saltwater Salmonid, Marie Finfish, Native Finfish, Marine Fish, Freshwater Crayfish Crocodiles and Microalgae sectors, these figures should be considered under-estimates (possibly up to $10 million). In addition, the contribution by the large number of ‘backyard’ or unlicensed

producers of Ornamental or Aquarium species (Finfish, Crustaceans, Molluscs, and other invertebrates) is unknown, but it is estimated to be at least 40% to 50% greater than the Government statistics (refer to Section 4.6).

Table 2 summarises the production data for five aquaculture species groups and gives their percentage increase or decrease (in brackets) over the previous year. Finfish had a decrease of 3.7% (2007/08 showed an increase of 26.7%), whilst Crustaceans increased by 24.2% (2007/08 showed a decrease by 6.0%), Molluscs decreased by 6.3% (2007/08 showed a decrease by 3.4%) and Miscellaneous species increased by 21.7%, mainly in ‘Others’ category (2007/08 showed an increase by 2.8%).

During 2008/09 over 30 species were cultured on a commercial scale, with probably the same number of species undergoing pilot or experimental production. The culture species included Salmonids (this is a generic term for 5 species of Salmon and Trout), Southern Bluefin Tuna, Barramundi, Native Freshwater Fish (at least 12 species), Introduced Freshwater Finfish (2 species), Brackish Water and Marine Fish (at least 10 species), Aquarium Fish (numerous species), Eels (2 species), Freshwater Crayfish (3 species), Penaeid Prawns (5 species), Brine Shrimp, Mud Crabs, Freshwater Shrimp, Freshwater Prawns, Edible Oysters (at least 4 species), Pearl Oysters (at least 5 species), Blue Mussels, Freshwater Mussels, Scallops, Clams (at least 3 species), Abalone (2 main species plus a hybrid), Microalgae (2 species), Crocodiles (2 species) and Polychaete Worms (3 species).

The value of production has increased over the estimates for 2007/2008 for Salmonids (0.7%), Native Freshwater Fish (15.8%), Misc. Marine fish (23.3%), Prawns (26.7%), Brine Shrimp (144.2%), Edible Oysters (6.7%), Blue Mussels (13.4%), Abalone (20.7%), Crocodiles (7.6%), Microalgae (2.9%) and Aquatic Worms (16.9%). Decreases in value were reported for Barramundi (-5.2%), Southern Bluefin Tuna (-15.5%), Eels (-43.5%), Aquarium Fish (-35.2%), Freshwater Crayfish (-9.9%), Pearl Oysters (-19.7%), No changes were recorded in the value of Scallops.

3.2 Ten Most Valuable Sectors/SpeciesIn order of value of production, the important sectors (last year’s ranking, i.e. for 2007/2008, is provided in brackets) and the value of their production (including increases or decreases over the previous years) were: 1. Salmonids (1) $329.9 million, up $2.5

million (0.7%), 4th year of increases (previous 3 years were major increases).

2. Southern Bluefin Tuna (2) $157.8 million, down $28.9million (15.5%), previous year showed an increase of 35.7%.

3. Pearl Oysters (3) $106.3 million, down $26.1 million (19.7%), the 2nd year of decreases.

4. Edible Oysters (4) $88.7 million, up $5.9 million (6.7%), the 3rd year of increase.

5. Prawns (5) $56.8 million, up $12 million (26.7%), previous two years there were decreases.

6. Barramundi (6) $36.6 million, down $2.1 million (5.2%), previous year showed an increase of 43.9%.

7. Abalone (7) $20.3 million, up $2.8 million (20.7%), previous two years there were decreases.

8. Yellowtail Kingfish (8) $36.0 million, up $7.4 million (26.0%), previous 5 years showed increases.

9. Mussels (9) $9.4 million, up $1.2 million (13.4%), previous two years there were decreases.

10. Crocodiles (10) $8.8 million, up $0.7 million (7.6%), 4th year of increases.

million, 15.5%), Barramundi (down $2.1 million, 5.2%), Yellowtail Kingfish (up $7.4 million, 26.0%) and Native Fish (up $1.1 million, 15.8%).

4.1 SalmonidsFigure 2 shows the trend in the value of production of Salmonids for the nine year period since 2000/01. Over the past 5 years there has been more than a doubling of the value.

The two main commercial Salmonid species were the Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar). There were over 50 Salmonid farms in operation across Australia, with many being freshwater farms growing pan-sized (<500 grams) Rainbow Trout. The largest production of Salmonids, however, came from sea cage production of Atlantic Salmon and ocean run Rainbow Trout (previously called ‘Ocean Trout’) in Tasmania – until recently there was also some sea cage production of both species occurring in South Australia.

In addition, almost 80,000 fingerlings (worth approx. $0.1 million) of Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout (Salmo trutta), Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) and Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) were produced in Government and private hatcheries for restocking public and private water bodies – this is a huge decrease over the 1.0 million released in 2005/06, no doubt the fall has been due to the drought; the February 7 2009 ‘Black Saturday’ bushfires has also caused

The order for the remaining sectors is Native Freshwater Fish (($8.1 million, 15.8% increase); Freshwater Crayfish ($4.1 million, 9.9% decrease); Aquarium Fish ($2.8 million, 35.2% decrease); and Microalgae ($3.6 million, 2.9% increase).

For the second year in a row, the order of the top ten sectors/species was unchanged. Except for Southern Bluefin Tuna, Pearl Oysters and Barramundi, the other top ten sectors/species all showed increases in production value.

O’Sullivan (1998) noted that between 1988/89 and 1995/96, three ‘traditional’ aquaculture sectors – Pearl Oysters [mainly Pinctada maxima], Edible Oysters [mostly Sydney Rock and Pacific Oysters] and Salmonids [Atlantic Salmon and Rainbow Trout, both freshwater and ocean raised] – accounted for over 80% of the total value of aquaculture production. This fell to below 60% by the late 1990s and early part of this decade.

Combining these sectors with the value of Southern Bluefin Tuna and Prawn production resulted in a contribution of over 90% of the value of production for each of the financial years since 1996/97. Since 2002/2003 this value fell slightly as other sectors increased (eg. Barramundi, Yellowtail Kingfish, Abalone), however, the top four groups still contribute over 85% of the total value.

Initial trends over eight years (2000/01 to 2008/09) for the major species groups (Figure 2) shows falls in the value of production occurred for Southern Bluefin Tuna and Pearls. There has been a significant increase in Prawns and ‘Others’ and small increases for Edible Oysters and Salmonids. Further production and value information is provided for each of these groups later in this report.

3.3 Averaged Farm Gate or ‘Beach’ PricesIn this report, only the average prices over the calendar year as provided by the states/territories are used – thus a figure of $15/kg, could be for a species that fetched between $10 and $20/kg, depending on the type (eg. live or dead), quality and the state/territory the species was sold.

Remarkably over the past decade, even though production increased in most sectors, domestic farm gate (onland production) or ‘beach’ (at sea production) prices generally remained firm, or rose slightly due to increased local demand. However, as can be seen in Figure , over the past 5-6 years there has been a higher increase in the trends for production (tonnes) than for total value ($million) – this suggests there must have been overall decreases in average farm gate or beach prices.

As in previous years, the targeting of overseas markets by some sectors of the aquaculture industry has been subject to some problems. The continued highs of the Australian dollar meant that demand for exports of Pearls, Southern Bluefin Tuna and Abalone slowed, and was often reflected by lower prices in those markets (this of course can have a direct effect on the local farm gate or beach prices).

4. FinfishCompared with the previous year, the total aquaculture production of finfish in Australia increased from 45,898.7 to 48,492.1 tonnes whilst the number of juveniles being produced reduced from 11,543,100 to 9,087,200, contributing to a total value of almost $579.4 million (Table 3). This is a decrease in value of 3.7% over the estimates for 2007/2008. The main contributors were the Salmonids (up $2.5 million, 0.7%), Southern Bluefin Tuna (down $28.9

falls in production in Victoria’s main trout production area.

There was some commercial growout of Brown Trout, Atlantic Salmon and Chinook Salmon in freshwater, although data was not always available due to confidentiality reasons.

The total value of Salmonid production was around $332.4 million. This included approximately $0.1 million for hatchery production (mostly Rainbow and Brown Trout), mostly for Government releases for recreational fishing.

The Tasmanian Salmonid Growers’ Association has worked hard to develop the industry and its involved in the AquaFin CRC saw significant improvements in health management, nutrition and product/flesh quality.

Thus for a fourth year Atlantic Salmon production and value in Australia showed an increase (the previous three years showed significant increases), this time to 28,215,900 tonnes (mostly head-on, gilled-gutted) worth $319.3 million. This was produced in Tasmania by four medium to very large and vertically integrated operations; a fall of $0.69/kg in prices saw overall value of Tasmanian production fall by $0.7 million even though there was an increase of over 1,500 tonnes. Ocean grown trout value in Tasmania also fell.

It is reported that the small sea cage site with cool upwelling water has been utilised for Atlantic Salmon production for the past couple of years in South Australia could be re-established.

Saltwater production of Rainbow Trout in Tasmania was thought to be around 500 tonnes (no official estimates are available); there was no production in South Australia.

For the third year Freshwater Rainbow Trout production decreased significantly, this year to less than 1,250 tonnes. The majority of this production occurred in Victoria (789 tonnes), which was a decrease in production of more than 230 tonnes on the previous year. Reductions in water flows due to drought conditions caused major problems in many areas. Seventy tonnes of Brown Trout was reported (91 tonnes was reported for 2007/08).

Generally farm gate prices remained strong for the seacage product on the domestic market, however, export markets (mostly to Japan) were affected by the high Australian dollar. Farm gate prices (HOGG – head-on, gilled and gutted) were around $12.00/kg (in Tasmania) for Atlantic Salmon and $7.80/kg for ocean reared Rainbow Trout.

With lower production of freshwater Rainbow Trout, prices increased slightly and varied between approx. $5.10 to $10.70 per kilogram, with more farms diversifying into ‘fish-out’ operations and tourism to ensure year round cash flow (also higher farm gate prices as the fish are sold direct to the public). Several of the smaller and medium growers used value adding of products (eg. smoked Trout or Salmon, pate, pickled Trout). At least one of the larger farms was producing larger fish (up to 1kg) and concentrating on quality aspects to gain a higher farm gate price (>$10/kg). At least two hatcheries were exporting live (‘disease free’) Rainbow Trout eggs to a number of countries.

Markets were being expanded for Salmon roe by a Victorian company which was selling it as ‘Salmon caviar’, including some exports. Several tonnes have been sold, the reported farm gate price was over $100/kg.

Prospects for Next Three YearsDespite the opening of the once protected Australian market for fresh Salmonid products to overseas

The combined value of food fish production and fingerling sales was approximately $8.1 million, a 15.9% increase on the total for the previous year. Around 20% of this value was for the sale of fingerlings for restocking.

Prospects for Next Three YearsWith the drought, demand for fingerlings is expected to continue to fall as fewer people are restocking private dams. In additional several commercial farms and private hatcheries are no longer producing. The 2010 floods in Victoria and NSW will add to the problems of some farms.

Growout operations are expected to re-establish in many areas (particularly pond-based farms). However, the highly variable product quality, off flavours as well as poor grading and handling practises may continue to restrict market acceptance of some Native Fish species (i.e. as supply increases market prices will fall). Another area for concern was the low growth rates experienced in temperate growing areas due to cold water temperatures over winter. This has lead to an increase in production of Murray Cod, Barcoo Grunter and other species in heated recirculating tanks.

4.3 EelsThe two species of Eels of commercial importance are the Shortfin Eel (Anguilla australis) in Queensland, Tasmania and Victoria, and the Longfin Eel (A. reinhardti) in New South Wales. In Victoria and Queensland the species were not separated in the production data. The majority of production was from RAS and enhanced fishery operations in Victoria, some RAS production is underway in Queensland and NSW.

The RAS farms continued to be stocked with glass eels (<01g) or elvers (<0.5g) from Tasmania as well as Queensland, with elver supply a major factor limiting Eel production. In N.S.W. Longfin production decreased by 1.5 tonnes to 3.6 tonnes (no production was reported for Shortfin Eels). In Queensland, Shortfin production remained at 28.7 tonnes worth under $0.5 million. In Victoria, production (majority is Shortfin from re-stockers 50g plus)

producers (mainly Canadian and New Zealand), strong local prices for Atlantic Salmon has seen the value of Tasmanian production increase for the fourth year in a row. In the export markets the high regard for our premium products mostly kept prices firm, however, overall export demand is flat due to cheaper competitors (increases in the Foreign Rates can contribute to significant price, and subsequently demand, changes).

Industry consolidation and a move to offshore sites with improved cage and feeding technologies were predicted by the National Aquaculture Council to result in significant increases in production (to be worth $1,000 million [$1 billion] by the end of 2010). The increases for 2008/09 put the value to almost one-third of those predictions, and the immediate future continues to look promising for the seacage product (Atlantic Salmon and Rainbow Trout) with Tasmanian producers predicting another good year in 2009/10 and beyond.

Freshwater Trout production will continue to suffer from the drought conditions in various parts of Australia and the bush fires in Victoria; however, product diversification, tourism and fish-out ventures are allowing some farms to maintain profits. Higher market prices for fresh and smoked product is providing some comfort to farms, however, most farms have lowered their stock holdings due to low water levels and several operations are only maintaining some holding stock. Flooding during 2010 in Victoria is likely to cause falls in production.

4.2 Native Freshwater FishGovernment and private hatcheries produced fingerlings of several species of native freshwater fish. Other than production for stocking commercial farms, the major market for the hatchery-reared native fish fry was for stocking private farm dams or for release into public waterways to improve recreational fisheries.

The production of fingerlings had fluctuated over the past 5-6 years, in 2008/09 the production increased to over 5 million worth approximately $5 million.

The main species being Golden Perch (Macquaria ambiqua) with 1.2 million

fingerlings, Silver Perch (Bidyanus bidyanus) with 0.7 million, Australian Bass (Macquaria novemaculeata) with over 2.3 million and Murray Cod (Maccullochella peelii) with under 1.0 million (Table 3). The other species for restocking or recreational fishing were Eel-tailed Catfish (Tandanus tandanus), Trout Cod (Macquaria macquariensis), Macquarie Perch (Macquaria australasica), Mary River Cod (Maccullochella peelii mariensis), Eastern Cod (Maccullochella ikei) and Sleepy Cod (Oxyeleotris lineolatus).

Several of these native ‘food’ fish species were also being sold to the ornamental market – these sales were included under Native Aquarium Fish in some states but not in others.

The drought has seen more hatcheries scale or close down as demand for private farm restocking. This has seen prices fall slightly; the most common species varying from $0.18 to $0.70 each depending on species, sizes (lengths), volumes purchased, and the State in which the fish were sold. Highest individual prices were for Eel-tailed Catfish ($1.55) and Murray Cod ($1.05), the lowest were for Australian Bass ($0.21) and Golden Perch ($0.20).

Over 520 tonnes of market sized (mostly 350 to 900 grams) Native Fish were sold. Silver Perch sales were up 16 tonnes to 360.9 tonnes, whilst Golden Perch was steady at 7.4 tonnes. Murray Cod production increased from 86.0 to 112.7 tonnes, while production increased for the Barcoo Grunter (Scortum barcoo, which is sometimes incorrectly marketed as the Jade Perch) decreased from 58.9 to 41.8 tonnes. Small number of Australian Bass, Eel-tailed Catfish and Sleepy Cod were also harvested as food.

Farm gate prices remained constant for both Silver and Golden Perch and Barcoo Grunter; live fish demanded the higher prices ($12 to 18/kg), while gilled-gutted fish averaged $8 to $14/kg depending on species (Golden Perch were generally higher up to $22.00 but only small numbers sold) and which State the fish was sold in. The price for Murray Cod was between $10.30 and $20.33/kg, the highest prices for live product sold was in New South Wales.


decreased again, this time by 64 tonnes to 57 tonnes. The growth rates of the restocked Shortfin Eels in these licensed waterways can be very slow (a 50 cm individual may only weigh about 200 grams after 20 years) and is dependent on stocking densities. Drought conditions have seen annual ‘wild catch’ production drop from over 400 tonnes (4-5 years ago) down to less than 20 tonnes. In Tasmania, Shortfin Eels production remained at just over 11 tonnes, mostly part of a restocking industry.

Production in 2008/09 decreased by 43.5%, this was worth over $1.3 million (Table 3). The farm gate price again ranged between $8 and $17 per kilogram excepted in Tasmania where it was only $6/kg.

Prospects for Next Three YearsAs noted in previous reports, despite the widespread interest in the culture of Eels, supply of seedstock (particularly glass eels and elvers) due to the drought, lack of appropriate culture system design (particularly low cost food) and slow growth rates in stocked waterways (particularly with drought conditions and lower water flow) will continue to limit production. The expansion in the use of RAS technology should result in increased production over the next few years when drought conditions no longer limit seedstock recruitment.

4.4 BarramundiBarramundi (Lates calcarifer) is the only aquaculture species that is grown in all mainland states and is one of the few species that has exhibited regular increases in annual production – recently increases in the value have occurred in four of the past five years. In 20076/08 the highest production (3,863.3 tonnes) and value ($38.7 million) were recorded. Whilst production increased to over 4,000 tonnes in 2008/09, market price falls caused the value to drop by 5.2% to $36.6 million.

Significant R&D followed by technology development has resulted in increased production and reliable hatchery supply, whilst work by the Australian Barramundi Farmers Association has addressed market development, particularly quality assurance, and other

issues such as vaccination of fingerlings and effluent quality.

Indoor tank production (recirculating aquaculture systems, or RAS, plus one ‘flow-through’ farm in SA) contribute around 20% of the total Australian farmed Barramundi harvest. The remainder comes from seacage (30%) or freshwater or brackishwater pond-based (50%) production.

In the 1990s, the major focus was for live plate-sized fish (350 to 400 grams, often marketed as ‘Baby Barra’), although with increasing pond and cage production, recently the emphasis has shifted to the production of larger fish, 1.5 to 2kg, for the fillet market. With culture in tanks there has been a trend to producing fish around 600 to 800g, often these are sold live into Asian restaurants. This has resulted in higher prices, up to $15/kg for live fish.

In NSW RAS production remained at 111 tonnes, worth $1.2 million (average price of $10.86/kg, a fall of $1/kg). In SA where there is some RAS but mainly flow-through of hot artesian water in tanks, 3 more tonnes were produced for a total of 424.0 tonnes, at $10.62/kg this resulted in a total value of $4.5 million (same as 2007/08).

The majority of Barramundi production was in Queensland, which unexpectedly showed a production decrease of 64 tonnes to 2,400.0 tonnes. A decreased average price of $8.76/kg (down $1.11/kg) resulted in a decrease in value of more than $3.5 million to $21.3 million.

Victorian RAS production received after the main farm losing most of its stock due to a power failure in 2007/08, production increased to by 57 tonnes to 60 tonnes worth $63,000 ($10.50/kg).

Northern Territory production increased by 49 tonnes to 552.0 tonnes, all from freshwater or brackishwater ponds. The farm gate price fell again to average $7.61/kg, again making it the lowest of all the states.

In Western Australia there was an increase in production of more than 90 tonnes to 455.2 tonnes, the majority coming from a seacage farm. With a

farm gate price of $10.53/kg the total value was $4.8 million, an increase of $1.0 million.

In the 1990s and early 2000s, the Barramundi was also important for the stocking of impoundments and farm dams in Queensland for recreational fishing, in some years there were more than 5 million releases. This year, the numbers were significantly lower, however, no data was available.

Prospects for Next Three YearsFurther production growth is predicted, however, considerable funds and resources will be needed to promote Australian product to maintain market prices, particularly due to significant qualities of Asian frozen fillet product being landed in Australia at less than $10/kg. The growth of production from tank systems (both flow through and recirculating) will see increased harvests from the southern States and NSW. Also the potential for further increases in production in NT and Queensland is thought to be good for freshwater or brackishwater pond culture systems. The expansion in seacage production in Queensland and WA is likely to continue.

4.5 Southern Bluefin TunaFigure 2 shows the trend in the value of production of SBT for the nine year period since 2000/01. The value has fallen significantly since 2001/01 (over $260 million) to average around $150 million.

For a decade since 1993, the fattening in seacages or ‘pens’ off Port Lincoln (SA) of Southern Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus maccoyii) was by far the fastest growing sector in Australian aquaculture. By 2000/2001 Tuna farming had surpassed Pearl Oysters as the most valuable aquaculture species and production reached over 9,000 tonnes, worth over $260 million. In 2006/07 there was a decrease in production (down from 8,806 to 7,588 tonnes) and value (down to almost $138 million). However 2008/09 production was up by more than 2,169 tonnes to 9,757 tonnes worth $186.7 million, up 35%. Due to the high Australian dollar and increased overseas competition, demand in the exports markets is slow; the average



sources, more than 20-25 million ‘tails are sold annually, of which up to 40% are produced locally.

Using 2008/09 data, the total harvest of locally produced Aquarium Fish (both natives and exotic species decreased significantly by over 3.3 million tails down to less than 3 million. The value of this local production decreased by over 35% to be worth almost $2.8. million (Table 3).

In previous years, the vast majority of the reported exotic fish production was Goldfish (Carassius auratus). In 2005/06 over 5 million Goldfish were sold. Production is now less than 2 million, sold for an average $0.56 each. The main producer, located in Victoria, has been downscaling production.

A range of other species are being produced including livebearers such as Guppies (Poecilia reticulata), Platys (Xiphophorus maculatus) and Swordtails (Xiphophorus helleri), as well as Freshwater Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) and Koi Carp (Carassius hybrids, these can only be produced in WA and NSW).

A number of native species, such as the Rainbow Fish (Melanotaenia spp), but also including several food fish fingerlings (refer to Section 4.2) such as Barramundi and Black Bream, were also sold, with prices varying considerably from species to species. The popularity of tropical native species and the prices which hobbyists are willing to pay for these species, have increased over the past few years encouraging local breeders to dedicate more time to culturing these fish.

farm gate price fell by $1.18/kg to $17.96/kg; this is still well below the $28-30/kg gained in the early 2000s. The total value was $157.7 million, a fall of $28.9 million.

Purse seine nets are used to catch Tuna on the fishing grounds off the south coast of Australia; this is managed under a quota system to prevent overfishing (the Australian fishery is shared with Japanese and New Zealand boats). After being transferred to floating cages the fish are towed to Port Lincoln (this can take 6-10 weeks depending on where the fish were caught) and then transferred into the growout cages or pens. Initially the farming sites were inside Boston Harbour, but now they are all offshore in deeper water with good current flows. This has reduced many of the environmental impacts that were causing problems in the shallower waters closer to shore.

In the early 2000s an overseas multi-national aquaculture company entered this sector through the purchase of one of the farms. It is expected that other overseas interests will explore opportunities to participate in this industry, however this has not yet eventuated. The overseas company sold it share in 2006.

Some Tuna companies are consolidating their production, some are leasing quota, and some have diversified into other species (see Marine Fish Section 4.7) and one is working to commercialise domestication (hatchery breeding). Another company unsuccessfully attempted to build a seacage farm in Western Australia in 2004/2005; the opposition came from concerns over environmental pollution and interactions with marine mammals and sharks. Several companies have established overseas joint venture operations for farming other species of Tuna, especially in the Mediterranean and Mexico.

Up to 2008 the Australian Tuna Boat Operators Association through the AquaFin Cooperative Research Centre Aquaculture completed a number of R&D program to address sustainability concerns, including environmental monitoring, use of artificial diets (with pilchards and other whole fish, the food

conversion ratios can sometimes be in excess of 10:1), and ways to prevent the entanglement of seals, dolphins and sharks in the cage nets. At least one of the companies is involved with the Seafood CRC which started in 2007.

Prospects for Next Three YearsAccess to stock a quota will continue to limit production levels to under 9,000 tonnes. Success in hatchery production of SBT juveniles is likely to create additional seedstock by 2011 or 2012. A high Australian dollar combined with stronger overseas competition will see continued low export demand (some companies insure for foreign exchange changes). Further rationalisation of the industry may see some smaller operations consolidated into larger companies. Most people in the industry believe that improvements in production (particularly artificial diets, mechanisation and easier to operate ocean cage systems) and reduced costs in environmental management will increase viability.

4.6 Ornamental and Aquarium FishThe keeping of Ornamental or Aquarium Fish is a popular activity in Australia for several million hobbyists – ‘fish’ is used to refer to over 3,000 species of a range of aquatic organisms including Exotic and Native Finfish, Amphibians, Crustaceans, Molluscs and other invertebrates as well as a range of aquatic plants. In the past the vast majority of finfish have been imported from overseas, mostly through Asia, however, local farmed production has been slowly increasing. According to industry


Several marine species are being cultured, including the Clown Fish (Amphiprion spp.) but mostly on an experimental scale. In Tasmania, SA, WA and NSW sales of several species of Seahorse (Hippocampus spp.) and other related species were recorded but due to confidentiality reason, data was often not available. Initially it was thought the main demand for these species would be the traditional Chinese medicine market (and as an alleged aphrodisiac). However, the main demand for Seahorses and other Syngnathids has been for the aquarium industry. With the current over exploitation by wild fishers in many of the traditional supplying countries, a cultured product could find a large and profitable market niche.

In the NT, WA and Qld there is a healthy trade in marine organisms other than Finfish, including Shrimp, Corals, ‘live’ rock, Molluscs and other invertebrates. As these are often held in tanks for several weeks (sometimes months) for conditioning or quarantine, or simply just waiting for transport to wholesalers and buyers, theoretically (using the FAO definition) this value-adding stage could be included as an aquaculture activity, however, no data was collated for this. Industry sources suggested the trade could be worth up to $1 million, of which the aquaculture component might be worth 20 to 25%.

Although licenses are issued for the commercial production of Ornamental and Aquarium Fish in most states, this sector comprises of many more small ‘backyard’ or ‘cottage style’ operations that are not licensed. This means that accurate data collection on production and value remains extremely difficult.

The O’Sullivan, Clark and Morison 2008 report The Australian Ornamental Fish Industry in 2008/09 suggested that domestic production in 2006/07 was over 8.3 million – 7.7 million from aquaculture and 0.6 million from wild catch, mainly marine species. This is 30% higher than the estimates for that year reported by O’Sullivan et al (2008). This shows that the collection of aquaculture statistics by state authorities often does not include all of the ornamental hatcheries.

Prospects for Next Three YearsPet shop industry reports show an increasing interest in ornamentals, particularly for marine species due to the increased availability and lower cost of reliable advanced technology tank systems. While the vast majority of local production consists of exotic species, interest in the native species, especially those from the tropics and marines, will ensure increased production and export opportunities. Local production of exotics could be threatened from increased importation of cheaper Asian stock (at present these must undergo a regulated quarantine period of between 7 and 21 days which is monitored by the Australian Quarantine Inspection Service). Led by the domestic culture of more Goldfish and other ‘bread and butter species’ as well as the higher value marine (esp. Seahorses and Clown Fish), it is likely that increases in production and value should occur.

4.7 Marine Finfish SpeciesA range of temperate estuarine and ocean species have been targeted; production initially focussed on Snapper (Pagrus auratus). However, difficulties with product quality and growth rates have seen no commercial production since 2002/03.

In 2008/09 seacage production of Mulloway (Argyrosomus hololepidotus) in SA fell to 500 tonnes as the main company focuses on Yellowtail Kingfish. In NSW a company is using prawn ponds with increases in production to over 31 tonnes; together this was worth $4.1 million.

Yellowtail Kingfish (Seriola lalandi) continue to repeat its production increases over the past few years with expanded seacage production in South Australia; according to industry sources the harvest again increased to over 4,500 tonnes worth $36 million. Farm gate prices continued to average $8.00/kg in SA but was only $4.75 in NSW. Problems with controlling escapees and ectoparasites, as well as with market acceptance (low price) were limiting profits of the cage operations.

Experimental and pilot-scale culture

were undertaken with temperate species such as Whiting (Sillago spp.), Striped Trumpeter (Latris lineata), Black Bream (Acanthopagrus butcheri), Greenback Flounder (Rhombosolea tapirina), Tarwhine (Rhabdosarsus sarba), Mangrove Jack (Lutjanus argentimaculatus), Australian Salmon (Arripis trutta), Australian Herring (Arripis georgianus), Mullet (various species) and Snubnose Garfish (Arrhamphuus sclerolepis). Areas requiring further research included broodstock conditioning, juvenile nutrition, disease control, and adult growout techniques.

Interest has also been shown in the farming of tropical reef fish species, such as Rockcods (previously called Groupers), due to high prices for exported live fish (up to almost $90/kg, but usually around $30-40/kg). The main focus has been on Goldspotted Rockcod (Epinephelus coioides), Barramundi Cod (Cromileptes altivelis) and Coral Cod (Cephalopholis spp.). Problems with the production of commercial quantities of seedstock limited production. However, there have been some trial culture of the Goldspotted Rockcod in prawn ponds.

Prospects for Next Three YearsIn South Australia with at two commercial hatcheries regularly producing Yellowtail Kingfish, and a government hatchery producing fingerlings in NSW, it is predicted that annual increases in production and value will continue for the next three or more years as operators achieve economies of scale in production. A new farm has been established in WA. Market prices will need to be increased to allow for profit margins in the smaller operations.

For other species, although some industry sources were excited about their prospects, marine fish culture was still in a very early stage of development, and any predictions would be highly speculative.

4.8 Exotic Finfish SpeciesWhile interest has been expressed in the pond culture of some of the exotic species (eg. Redfin [Perca fluviatilis], Tilapia [hybrid species] and European Carp [Cyprinus carpio]) already present in Australia, concerns over escapees causing habitat



No further culture of this species has been reported.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, production of the Kuruma Prawn (Marsupenaeus [ex Penaeus] japonicus) had contributed up to 20% of the total value for Prawns. All these Prawns were exported to Japan. Competition from cheaper product was China and other Asian producers have reduced the market price. There have been no reports of farms stocking these Prawns in New South Wales or Queensland since 2006/07.

As in previous years, most farms used smaller ponds, with improved aeration and water exchange capacity that allowed high levels of water quality management.

The diversification into Banana prawns by some hatcheries combined with procedural improvements and increased capacity for Black Tigers at several hatcheries allowed most farmers to stock all their ponds, although, supply of Black Tiger post larvae can sometimes create a problems. Former disease issues seem to have been overcome as most farms implement biosecurity measures.

Effluent from prawn ponds was a major issue for Government authorities in all states and territories due to the already increased background levels of pollution in the waterways. As a result some Government scientists and farmers have been testing recirculating systems and zero water exchange systems with good success. Significant increases in the area of settlement ponds have also been undertaken on many farms; over 30% of

damage and predation of Native Fish has precluded developments. In New South Wales some 0.1 tonnes of Carp were produced in 2001/2002, however, the farm gate price was less than $4/kg. No production has been reported since then.

Prospects for Next Three YearsIntensive indoor tank culture systems (such as those used in for Barramundi culture) could enable licenses to be granted for the culture of exotic species, although low farm gate prices may make this current technology economically unviable.

5. CrustaceansTotal production of crustaceans was 4,182 tonnes worth over $61.9 million (Table 4), a 24.2% increase over the value estimate for the previous year (the first increase after three year of decreases). The main species groups were Prawns (increased value by 26.7% to $56.8 million) and Freshwater Crayfish (decreased by 9.9% to $4.1 million, third year of decreases). Brine shrimp increased by over 100% to $0.9 million.

5.1 Marine PrawnsFigure 2 shows the trend in the value of production of prawns for the nine year period since 2000/01. In 2001/02 the value was the highest recorded ($65.5 million), however it has fallen since then to $44.9 million (2007/08) with a good recovery this year.

The majority of farming was undertaken in north Queensland, with some other successful operations located in south-eastern Queensland and northern New South Wales. Production in the Northern Territory has stopped, and although some farms have been built in Western Australia, no production was reported.

NSW production in 2008/09 fell by 37 tonnes and value was down $0.5 million. In Qld there was an increase of 877 tonnes and an increase in price of $0.17/kg; together these resulted in an increase in value of $13 million.

Previously the Black Tiger Prawn (Penaeus monodon) has been the main species of marine prawn farmed in Australia,

however, limited seedstock and other issues saw other species being tested. Since the early 2000s an increasing number of ponds in north Queensland were stocked by the largest producer with either Banana (Fenneropenaeus [ex Penaeus] merguiensis) or Brown Tiger (Penaeus esculentus) Prawns at the expense of Black Tiger Prawns. For reasons of confidentiality, data for these three species has been combined for Queensland. In the past Banana Prawns have also been produced in New South Wales and Northern Territory (again no breakdowns were provided).

Tiger-Banana Prawn production increased from 3,173.9 tonnes to 3,984.1, valued at over $56.8 million (Table 4), an increase in value of 26.7%. The relative contribution of each was thought to be around 75% for Black Tiger and 25% for Banana Prawns.

Local market demand for larger cultured prawns remained tight with the average farm gate price for Tigers and Bananas steady at $13.89/kg average in NSW and $14.28/kg in Queensland. In previous reports the increase in cheaper and smaller imported farmed prawn was said to have adversely affected the markets for the local product; however, now there seems to be evidence that consumers in Australia prefer to buy the local farmed product.

One N.T. farm diversified into School Prawns (Metapenaeus spp.) with mixed results in 2003/04. Inexpensive sources of seedstock and rapid growth rates were the main drivers of this decision.

total pond area was dedicated on some farms. Work is underway for use of Biofloc for increased stocking and less water release. There have been no new farms nor significant expansion on the existing farms since early 2000s due to environmental regulations (especially Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority in Qld).

Prospects for Next Three YearsFor most of the 2000s, inexpensive imports, rising costs (particularly compliance with environmental regulations) and lack of skilled seasonal labour have eroded profitability to create financial pressure on a number of prawn growers. However, improved water quality and stock management and more effective feeding regimes will ensure that production volumes improve. Selective breeding programs for several farms are expected to provide further increases in production. The Australian Prawn Farmers Association continues to work to create more consumer demand for the local farmed product.

5.2 Freshwater CrayfishThree species of Freshwater Crayfish were farmed – Marron (Cherax tenuimanus), Redclaw (C. quadricarinatus) and Yabbies (C. destructor, C. albidus). While the sector consists of a couple of larger, semi-intensive operations (in excess of 10 hectares) with purpose-built ponds, the majority of the 300+ licence holders farm extensively (usually farm dams) or have 1 to 2 ha of small semi-intensive ponds. The continued drought conditions meant very few of these farms were operating commercially.

Production of Freshwater Crayfish was mostly focussed on the restaurant trade (domestic and some niche overseas markets). Depending on species and growing conditions, the crayfish were usually harvested at 1 to 2 years of age (50 to 80+ grams). After several years of production decreases there was an 18.5% increase in the overall value for Freshwater Crayfish to over $5.2 million in 2006/07. However, production more than halved in 2007/08 to 218.1 tonnes and the value dropped by 13.3% to $4.6 million. A further decrease of $0.4 million was reported for 2008/09 to $4.2 million – less than 200 tonnes

through Australia were produced.

In Table 4 the most valuable species was the Marron ($2.0 million, down $0.1 million), followed by Redclaw ($1.1 million, steady) and Yabbies ($1.1 million, down $0.3 million).

The drought across southern Australia has had a major effect on Yabby production. In New South Wales production decreased by 3.5 tonnes to 4.1 tonnes with some $100,000 worth of bait Yabbies sold for a total of $175,500, down $0.2 million on 2007/08.

South Australia combined Yabby production into their Marron figures; however, it is thought that less than 1 tonne was produced. In Victoria production fell from 2 to 1 tonnes. It is expected that production in S.A. and Vic next year will be zero due to lack of water. In Western Australia where extensive culture in farm dams was undertaken with Yabbies, production has decreased by almost 17 tonnes to 44.1 tonnes (at $18.38/kg the value was $0.8 million).

The Redclaw production in Queensland showed increased slightly to 67.8 tonnes (at $16.54/kg this was worth $1.1 million) whilst Marron production in Western Australia also decreased by more than 6 tonnes to 52.9 tonnes (at $27.40/kg the value was $1.4 million). In South Australia, Marron production increased from 19 to 23 tonnes worth $0.6 million (some Yabby production is included in these figures).

With low production due to the drought and other causes, some increase in farm gate prices were reported for Freshwater Crayfish. However, the prices ranged between species with Marron being the highest (average over $26.50/kg), followed by Yabbies (average over $15/kg, lowest $10/kg in Victoria) and Redclaw (average over $16.50/kg).

Prospects for Next Three YearsIndustry commentators suggest that with sufficient water supply production of freshwater crayfish can increase at least five fold utilising current infrastructure (production could be in excess of 1,000 tonnes). However, as suggested in previous reports, the lack of

appropriate diets, losses through predation or other mortalities, under-capitalisation, lack of mechanisation and poor water quality/quantity remain issues that limit production. As supply increases, prices for Yabbies and Redclaw will stabilise around $10 to $12 per kilogram, while the prices for Marron could decrease below $20 per kilogram.

More consistent production volumes for Freshwater Crayfish can open the potential for export to overseas markets.

5.3 Other Crustacean SpeciesOnly 4.0 tonnes of the Brine Shrimp (Artemia spp) was produced in Victoria; with an increase in market price to $110/kg, total value was over $0.9 million, double the level for the past four years. Production restarted in South Australia although no data was available due to only one operator. A producer in Western Australia is undertaking pilot scale production.

Production of other live feed species such as Rotifers (Brachionus plicatilis) may develop.

Harvested in the past as a by-product of Prawn farming, a small amount of Mud Crabs (Scylla serrata) were reported from New South Wales in 2003/2004. No production has been shown for the Mud Crab this year; however, with expanding markets (including export) culture of this species is likely to increase. There has been juvenile production research underway on Bribie Island in Queensland and at the Darwin Aquaculture Centre, Northern Territory. An intensive indoor RAS has been established for a Mud Crab farm in Brisbane using innovative feeding and harvesting methods.

As for the past 6 or more years, no production of the Blue-swimmer Crab (Portunus pelagicus), Freshwater Shrimp (Atyidae sp.) or Freshwater Prawn (Macrobrachium sp.) was reported.

Following promising research results, there was increasing interest in culture of Southern and Western Rocklobsters (Jasus noveahollandiae and Panuliris cygnus) in Tasmania, South Australia and south coast of Western Australia, and for Tropical Rocklobsters (P. ornatus) in Queensland and Western Australia.



Oyster (including specially bred triploids or sterile oysters to avoid over catch issues), NSW production and value increased over 300 tonnes to 481.7 tonnes and by $1.1 million to $3.3 million respectively.

As in the past 4-5 years, Queensland’s production of Sydney Rock Oysters fell, this time by 18 tonnes to 63.4 tonnes, whilst higher prices (up $0.46/kg) meant the value of production fell to just over $0.5 million.

In South Australia, new and more productive culture areas saw a significant further annual increase in Pacific Oyster culture of more than 400 tonnes to 5,848 tonnes, whilst a slightly higher farm gate price ($5.57/kg) saw the overall value increase from $30.1 to $32.6 million. Once again this state was the major Pacific Oyster producer.

With some new culture areas coming online in Tasmania for the Pacific Oyster growers, production and value increased over 100 tonnes to 3,688 tonnes and by $1.6 million to $21.0 million.

Whilst there was some development of hatchery and culture techniques for the Native Oyster (Ostrea angasi), commercial production had not yet developed. In NSW some 30.5 tonnes worth $271,500 were produced in 2007/08. Whilst there was an increase in production, no official statistics were available for 2008/09.

Research had focussed around the ongrowing of pueruli and juvenile Rocklobsters due to lack of success with larval production in hatcheries. For the Japanese market, the expected size was around 200 to 300g which could be achieved in less than four years culture in tanks or on-bottom cages. However, R&D was underway at a semi-commercial level in W.A. and north Queensland.

The holding over of wild caught Rocklobsters in recirculating tanks until after the close of the fishing season when the farm gate prices increase continued to be a production option.

Research is underway into the culture of Balmain or Moreton Bay Bugs (Ibacus spp and Thenus spp.) as well as the Slipper Lobster (Scyllarides spp.) in Western Australia.

Prospects for Next Three YearsExcept for Brine Shrimp which has steady production, the other crustacean species are several years away from any significant production.

6. MolluscsThe harvest of Molluscs increased by over 1,300 tonnes from 16,746.6 tonnes to 18,065.6, however, falling Pearl Oyster value mean the overall value decreased by 6.3% from $246.3 to $230.7 million (Table 5). The main sectors were Sydney Rock Oysters (increased from $36.7 to $37.7 million), Pacific Oysters (increased from $51.8 to $56.9 million), Pearl Oysters (decreased from $132.4 to $106.3 million), Blue Mussels (increased from $8.2 to $9.4 million) and Abalone (increased from $16.8 to $20.3 million). Scallop production fell significantly as the main producer diversified into the production of Blue Mussels and wild harvest options.

6.1 Edible OystersFigure 2 shows the steady increase in the value of production of edible oysters for the nine year period since 2000/01. Over this period the value has almost doubled

– over 14,000 tonnes were harvested, the highest recorded.

Several edible Oyster species were cultivated on over 300 farms in Australia, although the majority of production was

for the Sydney Rock Oyster (Saccostrea glomerata – includes both S. amasa and S. commercialis) in New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia, and for the Pacific Oyster (Crassostrea gigas) in Tasmania, South Australia and some parts of New South Wales.

Overall, there was a 6.7% increase in the value of Australian edible Oyster production in 2008/09 to be worth over $94.6 million (Table 5). In terms of tonnes produced and overall value, the Pacific Oyster sector continued to be higher than the Sydney Rock sector – 10,018 tonnes worth $56.9 million versus 4,071 tonnes worth $37.7 million.

In previous years there were major problems over food safety from contamin-ated growing waters, disease losses (QX and winter mortality), out-dated culture practices and reduced spat settlement due to overset from Pacific Oyster spat. However, an increasing number of farmers were turning to single seed production and at least two hatcheries were providing selectively bred seed. The NSW and Qld Shellfish Quality Assurance programs lifted consumer confidence in the safety of eating Oysters and other shellfish grown in those waters.

NSW Sydney Rock production rose by 64 tonnes to 3,943.6 tonnes with an increase in value of $1.2 million to $37.2 million. With respect to the Pacific

Two tropical species, the Milky Oyster (S. cuccullata) and the Black-lipped Oyster (S. echinata) have been cultured in Queensland in small quantities. In 2003/2004 the total production of Tropical Oysters was 11.6 tonnes, this was worth just over $0.4 million, however, this was essentially a wild collection business. At least one hatchery was able to produce seed of the Tropical Oysters but there was little interest in their culture. The lack of infrastructure and the high costs of labour and equipment in tropical Australia may be the reasons for this.

Prospects for Next Three YearsThe steady rollout of the Australian Shellfish Quality Assurance (or Clean Waters) Programs will continue to increase consumer confidence in the food safety of the shellfish produce. This in turn will continue to increase demand and average market prices. Access to new sites and improved production methods (both intertidal and subtidal) should lead to increased production over the next few years in both the Pacific and Sydney Rock Oyster sectors. Selective breeding for growth and appearance as well as disease resistance is progressing well and will increase production. If farm gate prices can continue to be held or even increased, there will be significant increases in the value of oyster production. It was too difficult to predict how well the Native and Tropical Oyster sectors will develop.

6.2 Pearl OystersFigure 2 shows the steady decrease in the value of production of pearl oysters for the nine year period since 2000/01; the value has more than halved during this period.

In 2008/09 the overall value of the Silver or Golden Lipped Pearl Oyster (Pinctada maxima) production fell from $131.8 million to $106 million, a 20% decrease. While around 20 operations were farming Pearl Oysters the bulk of the Australian production comes from Western Australia, valued around $90 million, a fall of $23 million. Production from the Northern Territory fell by $1.3 million to $16.3 million. In 2007/08 Queensland Pearl farming decreased to $1.2 million, no production was reported for 2008/09.

The use of hatchery-reared stock continued to allow more stock on the farms for seeding, and as these animals seemed to suffer less from handling than their wild caught cousins, they could result in improved nucleus retention rates and increased quality and size of the pearl.

For a number of years Pearl Oysters have been Australia’s most valuable aquaculture sector, upheld by the ‘South-Seas’ Pearl’s reputation as the finest quality in the world. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the market outlook was depressed due to increased competition from several overseas countries, especially Indonesia. Australian farmers concentrated on increasing pearl quality and size to combat this growing competition. Unfortunately, for several years, the main markets in Japan and Hong Kong have suffered from depressed economic conditions that have caused a decrease in prices, especially for the larger pearls.

Whilst several other by-products were sold, including dried Pearl Oyster meat (prices over $50/kg were reported in previous years) and shells for Mother-of-Pearl, the quantity or value of these were not known.

In several states (including Western Australia, N.S.W. and Victoria), some experimentation was underway with a number of non-P. maxima Pearl Oysters, including the Black lip (P. margaritiferia), the New South Wales (P. imbricata) and the Penguin (Pteria penguin) Pearl Oysters.

Prospects for Next Three YearsDepressed overseas market conditions will continue to slow demand for the larger, higher quality Australian product. Several companies will continue to ‘warehouse’ excess stock and wait for improved prices.

Further farm expansion, or at least consolidation, should occur due to increased stock from improved hatchery production. Innovations in longline and bottom culture methods can also lift production.

6.3 Blue MusselsThe Blue Mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis, ex-M. edulis) is farmed commercially in Victoria, Tasmania, New South Wales, Western Australia and South Australia. Although hatchery techniques are available, Blue Mussel farming is almost exclusively based on natural settlement. Ongrowing to market size is undertaken on droppers suspended from floating longlines, or sometime rafts.

This sector has shown regular growth over the previous decade. In 2008/09 total production increased by almost 400 tonnes to 3,375.8 tonnes, worth almost $9.4 million (Table 5), an increase of almost $1.2 million, 13.4%. After a 15% decrease in 2006/07, the average (in the shell) farm gate price increased slightly from $2.70 to $2.78 /kg in 2007/08 and was stable in 2008/09, although the price ranged between states – $3.00/kg in NSW, $1.88/kg for SA, $2.80/kg in Vic, $3.50/kg in Tas and $3.73/kg (WA).

Production in NSW increased by 45 tonnes to 66.0 tonnes; farm gate price fell by $2/kg, however, value of production rose almost $0.1 million.

After five year of increases in production, there was a fall of 39 tonnes in South Australia to 1,340 tonnes and a decrease in value from $2.6 to over $2.5 million. At $1.88/kg the average farm gate price was the lowest in Australia. One company is working on value-added packs and this innovation could see market demand and prices increase.

For the fifth year Victoria, production dropped, this year from 521 to 449 tonnes. The average farm gate price stayed at $2.80/kg and overall value fell $0.3 to over $1.2 million.

For the second year production in Tasmania increased, this year by 341 tonnes to 1,087 tonnes making this state the largest producer. Again the farm gate value was $3.50/kg. The overall value rose from $2.6 to $3.8 million.

After two years of decreases Western Australian production increased by 84 tonnes to 433.5 tonnes; value decreased from $1.8 to $1.5 million. Farm gate



After two years of decrease in the value of production, the value increased again by 20.7% to $20.3 million. Whilst production increased from 501.6 to 598.6 tonnes, the farm gate value increased by $0.49 to $33.95/kg.

In South Australia production (all Greenlip) significantly increased by 60 tonnes $5.1 million); the average farm gate price decreased from $36.55 to $30.85/kg.

In Victoria production (mostly hybrid, some Greenlip) rose by 13 tonnes to 179 tonnes ($6.4 million); the average farm gate price was stable at $35.94/kg. Two farms were continuing to increase in production after disease outbreaks meant all their farm stock were died or had to be destroyed in 2005.

In Tasmania production (Greenlip, Blacklip and hybrids) increased by 24 tonnes to 192.6 tonnes ($5.8 million); the average farm gate price fell by $4 to $30.00/kg, the second year of price falls.

Pilot scale culture was undertaken in both N.S.W. and Western Australia (Greenlip); reports that production of may begin with Tropical Abalone in Queensland were yet to be confirmed.

The favoured growout method was using on-land culture in tanks or raceways with several different designs available. These included flat canoe-shaped tanks, plastic maze tanks and mazes of PVC pipes, all of which didn’t require large amounts of water or supplementary aeration. However, the major innovation was the concrete ‘slab’ tank, which was several metres wide and up to 25m long; at least one farm was also testing plastic slab tanks. Other culture methods included sea-based culture with barrels on longlines and floating or on-bottom cages, including ‘self-feeding’ systems. Further interest was shown in seeding artificial reefs, however, no developments took place.

The marketable size for cocktail or entree animals, 6 to 8 cm shell length (i.e. 60 to 90 grams) was reached after a culture period of 3.5 to 4 years depending on water temperatures. With improvements in management techniques, selective

value decreased by $1.02 to $3.73/kg, still the highest in Australia.

Variations in spat fall caused some difficulties, hatchery production was available as a back-up option in some states, however, the prices for hatchery spat may be a contributing factor to low demand. Fortunately, unlike in the 1990s and early 2000s, no major algal bloom outbreaks were reported for the Blue Mussel growing areas. However, other problems included rough weather stripping culture lines, poaching and vandalism, and competition for markets with wild harvested produce and cheaper imports of the Green Mussel (Perna canaliculus) from New Zealand.

Prospects for Next Three YearsAs all States participated in the Australian Shellfish Quality Assurance Program; increased consumer confidence will enable Blue Mussel farms to capitalise on their ‘clean-green’ product. Increases in hatchery production may lead to cheaper seed. Improved culture techniques and restocked leases should mean Blue Mussel production will increase in all southern states. However, the sector will need to increase market prices through value-adding rather than just selling bulk bags of harvested Blue Mussels; ideas include cleaned, debyssed ready to heat and serve packs, as well as meat and sauce combos.

6.4 ScallopsAlthough interest has been shown in Scallop culture in several states, the only developments have occurred in Tasmania with the Commercial Scallop (Pecten fumatus). Two Tasmanian-Japanese joint ventures (one government based and one private) were established in the early 1990s and these demonstrated that overseas Scallop growing methods could be applied to Tasmanian conditions with some degree of success – in the early 2000s the annual harvests were over 150 tonnes worth over $1.0 million. In recent years the production dropped significantly as the main company moved into Blue Mussel farming.

Likewise in South Australia large areas originally for scallop enhancement are now being stocked with Blue Mussels.

Like Mussel culture, overseas scallop farming has been reliant on natural spatfall and was therefore unpredictable and risky. However, scallops can be produced in shellfish hatcheries at prices that could make growing hatchery reared stock feasible.

Two different growout techniques can be used, the first involves longline culture using lantern nets (often used by oyster farmers as a means for diversification); the second (enhancement) involves re-seeding of scallops into areas which are dredge harvested a couple of years later (often undertaken by people with fishing interests).

Production in 2005/06 decreased from 120 tonnes down to 10 tonnes in 2006/07 and again to 2.4 tonnes in 2007/08, a fall of over 98%; no reports on production were received for 2008/09. although some was know to occur, the figures for 2007/08 were used. Scallop meat was priced at $50/kg wholesale, the farm gate value (whole shell) was around $5.20/kg to give a value of $12,500. Production difficulties include spat availability, cost of culture equipment and a low survival rate of re-seeded juveniles.

Prospects for Next Three YearsThe main producer in Tasmania has finished its move out of cultured scallops and diversification into Blue Mussels and other production options. Likewise there are no leases in South Australia in operation.

With no new investor interest and no new farms unlikely to be built over the next few years, production will be zero.

6.5 AbaloneThe abalone species cultured included the Blacklip (Haliotis rubra), the Greenlip (H. laevigata) and a hybrid of the two species, known as the ‘Tiger’ Abalone. Other species in which some interest was shown in the past included Roe’s Abalone (H. roei), the Staircase Abalone (H. scalaris), the Ass’s ear or Tropical Abalone (H. asinina) and the Brownlip Abalone (H. concipora), however, there was no commercial production reported for these species.


breeding and nutrition the production period is being reduced.

High Australian dollar means that exports of abalone are expensive on overseas markets; this has caused lower farm gate prices in some states.

Prospects for Next Three YearsNo new farms were built, however, stock levels increased on existing farms (including the 2 Victorian farm affected by disease), so over the next few years production should continue to increase. Farm gate prices were expected to hold after the drop from $49 to $33/kg, particularly as the main producer of cultured Abalone (China with around 5,000 tonnes in 2000) has difficulties with high levels of coastal water pollution. However, South Africa was becoming a major competitor with

production of over 1,500 tonnes per year. Farmers reported that as the vast majority of their sales are for exports, the high Australian dollar and the slowing of the Asia economies could further limit demand.

6.6 Other Shellfish SpeciesIn the past, small quantities of Freshwater Mussels (Velesunio ambiguus) were produced in New South Wales. Several groups have examined the potential for freshwater pearl production, however, no commercial activity has been reported.

The potential for Cockle or Clam culture integrated with Oyster farms was studied in Tasmania, South Australia and New South Wales. The two main species in Tasmania were Katelysia scalarina and Venerupis largillierti. Various varieties of Anadara are commercially cultured in Asia,

so there could be some potential in Australia. To date, no production was reported.

Several species of giant clam (Tridacnidae) have been investigated with regard to their commercial potential (Tridacna gigas, T. derasa, T. squamosa, T. crocea and Hippopus hippopus). No commercial production was reported, although an operation in Western Australia was known to be selling cultured product to the aquarium market. Production difficulties included wide variations in growth rates, losses due to cyclones and lack of suitable culture sites (mainly due to restrictions regarding aquaculture activities in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park).

Interest has been expressed in the culture of Trochus (Trochus niloticus) for its shell and for restocking reefs. Some research has been undertaken in the Northern Territory and Western Australia, however there was no commercial production.

Periwinkles for Italian seafood dishes have been trialled in Tasmania.

Prospects for Next Three YearsIt is unclear how these sectors will develop

– their potential seems to be limited by a lack of investor or grower interest.

7. Miscellaneous SpeciesThe total value of the miscellaneous (Microalgae, Crocodiles, Aquatic Worms and ‘Others’) species showed a 21.7% increase over the value in the previous year to $16.4 million (Table 6).

The increases were mostly due to the ‘Others’ figures, however all categories recorded increases in value. The ‘Others’ category was used by several states to combine data for species that have a single or only a couple of producers; this was done for confidentiality reasons. Usually, industry sources provide estimates which allow the segregation of the data into the specific categories, however, occasionally the figures can’t be totally confirmed.

7.1 CrocodilesAustralia’s two species of crocodile – the Saltwater Crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) and the indigenous Freshwater Crocodile (C. johnstoni) were both protected species

the finfish seacage operations. As yet no commercial production was reported.

A number of species of aquatic plants (eg. water lilies) were produced for the Aquarium and Ornamental Pond markets although no figures were available.

Prospects for Next Three YearsThe high costs of production and extraction are thought to prevent new operations from being established. Applied R&D was underway into other species of Microalgae for a wide range of pigments, feeds and fine chemicals; however, the main interest is for biofuels and carbon credits (through fixation of carbon dioxide). If successful, the value will increase significantly over the next few years.

(both in Australia and under the CITES convention). Thus there were many regulations involved with their culture and sale, which increased production costs. However, the quality of the Australian product continued to allow it to gain a reputation overseas.

The Crocodiles were cultivated for their belly skins and flesh (most from the tail, but also from the mid-section and legs). The preferred species was the larger and faster growing ‘saltie’. On the farms, the harvest size was about 1.5m, which represented an animal of 2 to 3 years age. In addition a wide range of other products were sold including back straps, feet, heads (skulls), claws and teeth.

The availability of data from the individual States or Territories was limited. The value of skin and other products increased from $ $5.5 to $6.0million. Flesh sales increased from 122.2 to 127.8 tonnes, at an average farm gate of $22/kg, this was worth over $2.8 million (Table 6). For the second year the total value of crocodile production increased, this year by 7.6% to over $8.8 million.

In addition to their use for human food and clothing, Crocodiles played a major role in tourism with more than 20 tourist operations and zoos exhibiting Crocodiles around Australia. The value of this to the Australian economy was thought to be in the tens of millions.

Prospects for Next Three YearsImprovements in farming technology and increasing demand for quality product may see the number, quality and value of Crocodiles in Australia rise over the next few years.

7.2 Microalgae and SeaweedsThe salt tolerant Microalgae (Dunaliella salina) was cultured commercially in Port Gregory, Western Australia and Whyalla, South Australia. A multi-national food company runs both these operations with a total of more than 800 ha of hypersaline ponds in production; the two sites provide security of supply and year round production. The main product was beta-carotene, an important food additive, colour and dietary supplement. In addition, by-products such as microalgal meal were sold for use in animal feeds.

A Spirulina plant in the Northern Territory has been operating for several years.

The estimated value from Western Australia stayed at $0.5 million, whilst that for South Australia was around $3.0 million and Northern Territory at $0.1 million for a total of $3.6 million (Table 6), an increase of 2.9%. Despite reports that at least two new operations were being established in salt fields in mid-west Western Australia and in a salt lake in the north-west Victoria, no other production was reported.

Interest in Seaweed (Macroalgae) increased with several Abalone farms using seaweeds as nutrient strippers. In addition one or more Atlantic Salmon farms have examined the benefits of seaweed culture being integrated into

7.3 Aquatic WormsOver 17 tonnes of aquatic (Polychaete) Worms were produced in Victoria and New South Wales to provide food for Aquarium Fish; this was valued at almost $0.9 million (Table 6). The main species cultured included the Black Worm Lumbriculus variegatus and L. veligans with some limited quantities of the Redworm Tubifex and the Aquatic Worm Diopatra dentata.

Prospects for Next Three YearsProduction will increase slightly.

7.4 Other Aquatic OrganismsWhile interest had been expressed in the commercial culture of sea urchins or sea cucumbers (Beche-de-mer, Trepang), no production was reported.

Prospects for Next Three YearsDue to the infancy of their production, no predictions were possible.

8. State TotalsTable 7 provides a breakdown of the production for each State and Territory. In 2008/09 there were there were increases in the value of production for NSW, Queensland and Tasmania. There were decreases in South Australia, Victoria, Northern Territory, and Western Australia.

Table 8 shows that in New South Wales production was 5,205.9 tonnes, with 3.0 million fingerlings/fry for a value of production which increased by $1.8 to $50.3 million.

The most commercially important species were Sydney Rock Oysters ($37.2 million, up $1.2 million, fourth year of increases) followed by Pacific Oysters ($3.2 million, up $1.0 million, fourth year of increases), Black Tiger Prawns ($2.2 million, down $0.5 million, first year of decrease), Silver Perch ($2.0 million, down $0.5 million, fourth year of decreases), Rainbow Trout ($1.5 million, up $0.1 million, first year of increase) and Barramundi ($1.2 million, down $0.1 million, first year of decrease).

Other species with a total value > $0.2 million included Murray Cod ($0.6 million), Aquarium Fish ($0.6 million), Yabbies ($0.2 million) and Aquatic Worms ($0.4 million).

In terms of the total production value, South Australia stayed as the second leading State despite showing an increase in value of 5.2% to over $249.6 million (Table 9).

After an increase in value in 2007/08, Southern Bluefin Tuna decreased by 971 tonnes and $28.9 million to$157.8 million. The major improver was Yellowtail Kingfish with a value of $36.0 million (up $11.6 million, the fifth year of increase). Pacific Oysters increased by 400 tonnes with an increase in value of $2.1 million to $32.6 million (first year of increase). Abalone ($8.1 million) showed a significant increase ($3.0 million, first year of increase). After increase in value in 2007/08, Barramundi stayed constant at $4.5 million. Mulloway ($4.0 million) increased by $1.6 million. The value of Blue Mussels fell slightly to $2.5 million, the first year of decrease.

The value of Microalgae ($3.0 million) increased by $0.5 million. Other commercially important sectors (value >$0.2 million) included Marron (up slightly to over $0.6 million).

The total value of production in Queensland increased by 10.1% to give a total of $88.6 million (Table 10).

After three years of decreases, Marine Prawns ($54.5 million) showed an increase of 877 tonnes for a value of $54.5 million; the production figures included Tiger and Banana Prawns – no Kuruma Prawns were produced. After fours years of increases Barramundi value decreased by $3.5 million to $21.3 million; still the second most valuable aquaculture species in Queensland. No data was available for Crocodiles so the 2006/07 value ($5.3 million) was used. Murray Cod remained stable $1.1 million whilst Silver Perch increased $0.3 million to almost $1.1 million. Redclaw ($1.1 million) showed a $0.1 million increase in value.

Other commercially important species (value >$0.2 million) included Australian Bass ($0.4 million), Barcoo Grunter ($0.5 million), Eels ($0.5 million), Exotic Aquarium Fish ($0.3 million), Native Aquarium Fish ($0.1 million), and Sydney Rock Oyster ($0.5 million).

In Victoria the value of farmed

production dropped by 5.9% to $19.0 million (Table 11). This is the fourth year of decreases.

For the first year the most valuable species were Abalone ($6.4 million, up $0.4 million, second year of increases). Other important species were Freshwater Rainbow Trout ($4.7 million, a decrease of $1.4 million, the fifth year of decreases); Eels ($0.8 million down $1.0million, third year of falls); Exotic Aquarium Fish ($1.0 million, down $1.0 million, the third decrease in four years), and Blue Mussels ($1.2 million, down $0.3 million, second year of decreases).

Other commercially important species (value >$0.2 million) included Brown Trout ($0.4 million, down $0.1 million); Silver Perch ($0.7 million, up $0.2 million); Murray Cod ($0.5 million, up $0.3 million) Brine Shrimp ($0.4 million, same as the previous four years); and Aquatic Worms ($0.4 million, steady). Yabbies production fell to near zero

together they were worth $23.7 million, a 8.1% decrease over the value for 2007/2008; the fourth year of decreases.

Pearls ($16.3 million, down $1.3 million, the second year of decreases), Crocodiles ($2.8 million, up $0.5 million, the third year of increases), Barramundi (up 48 tonnes, $4.2 million, stable), Microalgae ($0.1 million, down $0.4 million) and Native Aquarium Fish ($0.3 million, down $0.4 million – includes some marine species). No Prawns were produced.

Third in terms of the total production value, Western Australian production was worth $102.6 million (Table 14), a decrease of 17.8% over the 2006/2007 estimates. This is the fourth year of decreased value.

The main sectors were Pearls ($90.0 million, a fall of $23 million, the second year of decreases) and Barramundi (up 90 tonnes and $0.9 million to $4.8 million). Non-maxima pearls contributed $0.6 million in 2007/08; no data was available for 2008/09 however production was thought to be the same year.

Other species were Silver Perch ($0.4 million, up $0.2 million), Native Aquarium Fish ($0.2 million, down $0.2

levels (2 tonnes valued at $20,000) as many growers were unhappy with Prime Safe regulations for a live product harvest and transport. Industry sources suggested majority of sales were for bait yabbies due to the regulations. Barramundi harvest rose by 57 tonnes to 60 tonnes worth $0.6 million.

The most valuable aquaculture state was Tasmania with 33,997.2 tonnes worth $356.1 million (Table 12), a 1.9% increase from the estimates for 2007/2008; this is the fifth year of increases.

The most valuable sectors were Atlantic Salmon ($319.2 million, up $0.7 million, the fifth year of significant increases); Pacific Oysters ($21.1 million, up $1.6million, the second year of increases); Ocean-raised Rainbow Trout ($3.9 million, no change), freshwater-grown Rainbow Trout ($2.3 million, stable), Blue Mussels ($3.8 million, up $1.2 million, the second year of increases), Abalone ($5.7 million, stable after a year of decrease). Low or zero production was recorded for Ornamental Fish (Seahorses mainly), Scallops and Eels.

In the Northern Territory production was limited to five main species groups –
