Workshop - Aquaculture opportunities in Northern Australia: Solutions and Strategies

Northern Australia has multiple advantages for aquaculture industry development especially linked to natural resources and proximity to export markets. However, there are challenges to expansion such as remote locations and lack of infrastructure. The CRCNA commissioned a ‘Northern Australia Aquaculture Industry Situational Analysis’ to understand the current situation and future challenges and opportunities. An important output of the project is to deliver prioritised recommendations for the support required to enable industry expansion.
