“In 2022-23, aquaculture production value is forecast to increase by 11 per cent to $2.29 billion, driven by higher production values of salmonids, tuna and abalone,” Dr Greenville mentioned.
Salmonids manufacturing will drive the most important development following greater costs, with a 13 per cent improve in 2022 to 2023 to a file $1.46 billion.
Tuna and rock lobster costs are forecast to say no in 2022 to 2023.

“This reflects lower projected real prices for seafood producers and an easing of growth in the volume of Australia’s aquaculture salmonids production.”
Seafood exports are anticipated to extend by seven per cent in 2022-23 to $1.37 billion, with these exports forecast to rise one other seven per cent in 2023-24, to $1.47 billion.
