Prawn farm Pacific Reef Tigers and abalone producer Yumbah were two of the big winners in Australia’s latest annual Sustainable Seafood Awards

North Queensland prawn farm Pacific Reef Tigers and abalone producer Yumbah were two of the big winners in Australia’s latest annual Sustainable Seafood Awards, held by the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) in partnership with the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) at Melbourne Zoo, ahead of Sustainable Seafood Week (27 March – 3 April 2023). 

ASC Australia’s Duncan Leadbitter said: “Not only do we want to recognise the aquaculture farms that are located in some of the most beautiful parts of the country, but we are also wholeheartedly impressed by the overall supply chain that has taken the extra step to ensure our seafood is responsibly sourced. With aquaculture being a growth industry in rural Australia it is very rewarding to see growing opportunities for young people to have access to challenging and rewarding careers in the Australian seafood industry. Congratulations to all the winners and everyone working hard to make responsible seafood a reality in Australia.”
