The new Aquaculture Standards are part of a continuous improvement process for a sustainable aquaculture industry in Tasmania.
The standards:
build on existing regulatory requirements
formalise voluntary measures being undertaken by the industry
enhance aquaculture biosecurity systems and environmental regulations
ensure aquaculture management is consistent across Tasmania
Development of the new standards was an action from the Sustainable Industry Growth Plan for Salmon Industry 2017, which has since been replaced by the Tasmanian Salmon Industry Plan 2023.
The Aquaculture Standards Key Steps Flow Chart provides you with an overview how the standards have been developed:
