Australasian Aquaculture Award winners announced The inaugural Australasian Aquaculture Awards, sponsored by the Global Aquaculture Alliance Best Aquaculture Practices (GAA-BAP) certification program at Australasian Aquaculture 2012, recognized individuals and businesses that apply innovative and sustainable practices that will have lasting impacts on Australasian aquaculture over the next 10 years. Presented on 2 May by BAP Vice President of Development Peter Redmond, during the “Articulture” event at Australasian Aquaculture Conference in Melbourne, Australia, the awards rewarded aquaculture excellence in several categories. Tassal Operations Pty. Ltd. won the Aquaculture Production Award. The largest vertically integrated Atlantic Salmon producer in Australia, Tassal provides fish predominantly for the regional market. With sustainability at the core of all operations, it consulted varied stakeholders in preparing its first annual sustainability report – the first released by an Australian aquaculture company. Tassal’s Environment and Sustainability team is focused on addressing environmental and social issues, and “what we learn we share,” by being, amongst other things, active in the Tasmania Salmon Growers Association. Tassal were awarded an AUD 25,000 grant to develop an e-learning program and mentoring opportunities for students interested in aquaculture as a career and they have a clear strategy for workforce development. The Fish Oil Replacement in Australian Aquafeed project won the Aquaculture Science Research Award.
