Australian owned salmon company Huon Aquaculture recently announced plans to start a $10 million expansion of its salmon processing plant at Parramatta Creek in Northern Tasmania. A move which will see more production of value added seafood products.
Spaeking to the Australian Broadcasting Company (ABC), Frances Bender, director of Huon Aquaculture said the extension is a result of the relocation of its processing plant in South Australia.
In a major economy boost, Scottish aquaculture equipment supplier Fusion Marine has created four new full-time positions.
Three jobs have been created in administration and sales, whilst a new factory operative has also been recruited, taking total employment in the company to 16 full-time personnel.

Benemilk Ltd, a joint venture of Raisio and Intellectual Ventures (IV), Finland recently announced it has filed a US patent application for a fish feed invention and is starting the commercialisation of the invention in the USA.
Developed by the Finnish Game and Fisheries Research Institute , the patent application centres around the way in which fish oil is used in feed. Fish oil has traditionally been used in fish feed, but this new invention utilises rapeseed oil - a more economical alternative.
