Grow Out
Australia has an amazing diversity of freshwater fish species, and some of these are ideal candidates for aquaculture. Our dedicated growers buy fingerlings from approved local hatcheries and utilise a range of grow-out techniques to produce premium table fish to supply markets around Australia.
Some of the main species currently cultured by AAQ members are detailed below. Further information on freshwater fish species used in aquaculture and the freshwater aquaculture industry can be found by visiting the Aquaculture page of the Fisheries Queensland website:
