With populations expected to increase there is a focus on producing heathy , sustainable protein for the future . With 70 % of the world covered in water , producers are turning to the sea to create sustainable farms to meet increasing demand for seafood , with salmon a leading choice for family dinner plates across Australia .
Australian salmon companies are working hard to meet this demand , which is increasing at around 10 % per annum domestically and are now producing more than 60,000 tonnes of salmon annually . Forming a vital part of consumer eating habits , the move towards more sustainable , healthier lifestyles has boosted salmon production figures across retail and wholesale markets , with a predicted increase of up to 71,000 tonnes by 2023 – 24 across the country ( Annual fisheries outlook , Australian Government Department of Agriculture and Water Resources , 2019 ).
