| Commercial Species | |

The main species supplied to farmers for growout is Barramundi (Lates Calcarifer). We are able to supply quality fingerlings around the year which are graded and fully weaned on to pellet diets. If required, health certification can be supplied with each batch. Typical sizes that are supplied range from 25mm- 150mm. We have export capabilities and have supplied to several countries already. We are hoping to add Jade Perch (Scortum barcoo) to our species list in the near future after some R&D |

Restocking |

|
We offer a wide range of sizes for stocking groups to choose from starting as small as 25mm going up to 300mm in length. We are able to deliver to site in our truck purposely set up for long range tranportation of fingerlings. Acclimation can be done on site to suit the local water parameters. Fish are available regularly throughout the year. For larger fish we would likely require advance notice to supply the numbers requested to size. We would also like to speak with Stocking groups who could be interested in Sooty grunter and Mangrove Jack. |
