That's the view of Adam Main, CEO of the Tasmanian Salmonid Growers Association who adds that talks are underway to try and place sacked Mount Lyell mineworkers into the salmon industry.
"The
Aquaculture hub should be completed by August and that will open up a number of
opportunities and we have a lot of infrastructure plans and we can now hold
strategy meetings to see if some of those big projects can begin earlier,"
Mr Main says.
The
Aquaculture hub will see the three big salmon companies work in a purpose built
area and could mean hundreds of extra jobs.
"I
don't know how many extra jobs can be created at this stage, but we have
projects on the water and on land and an area which could be used by a number
of businesses to create more jobs," according to Adam Main.
