Abstract:
This paper investigates the financial and economic efficiencies of three scales of recirculation aquaculture
production growing Murray Cod (Maccullochelli peelli peelli) at tonnages of 25 tonne, 50 tonne and 150 tonne. Best practice
industry data is used (growth, FCR, mortality, equipment and running costs) in conjunction with AQUAFarmer feasibility
software1 to determine the relationship between key bio-economic variables such as the sale price of the product, FCR,
stocking density and growth.
