Salmon

​​​In Tasmania, salmon farming is carefully managed and regulated by NRE Tas, and the Environment Protection Authority​. 

To ensure the long term sustainability of the salmon industry, detailed planning and strong regulatory frameworks are essential to balance the needs of the industry, protect the environment, and meet community expectations.​​
