Petuna’s very future depends on best practice sustainable aquaculture, which demands the company maintains the critical balance between social, environmental and economic values.
Petuna’s research supports that the exposed waters in Storm Bay provide optimum farming conditions to enable maximum fish health and welfare in a best-practice farming environment.
Petuna is a privately-owned Tasmanian success story, established by Peter and Una Rockliff in 1949. Originally a fishing company, Petuna diversified into aquaculture in 1990 and in 2010, Sealord invested in the business.
STORM BAY HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED BY BOTH INDUSTRY AND THE GOVERNMENT AS AN AREA WHICH CAN ACCOMMODATE THE SUSTAINABLE AND RESPONSIBLE GROWTH OF AQUACULTURE.
