Australian Seafood Industry

The Australian seafood industry encompasses the harvesting, processing, and selling of marine and freshwater fish, shellfish, and other aquatic species. It includes commercial fisheries, aquaculture farms, and seafood markets, supporting local economies and export markets. Australia’s vast coastline and diverse marine environments allow for sustainable fishing practices, with strict regulations to protect marine ecosystems. The industry supplies fresh, frozen, and processed seafood domestically and internationally, playing a vital role in food security, employment, and regional development. Ongoing efforts focus on sustainable harvesting, environmental conservation, and innovation to ensure long-term productivity and seafood quality.
