OUR INDUSTRY

Oysters Tasmania represents members raising or farming bivalve shellfish – while the majority are pacific oysters we also grow mussels and the native or Angasi oyster. 
There are approximately 70 members farming or raising oysters at 110 with approximately $24 million of produce exported from Tasmania with the economic significance of the Tasmanian industry extending beyond this value, especially in the regional coastal communities where growers work.  There is also the value-chain of processors, wholesalers and retailers. 
For visitors to Tasmania experiencing the quality and freshness of oysters is becoming as iconic as the destination itself.  The industry contributes to the tourism sector through supplying local restaurants, cafes and farmgate experiences.  The importance of Brand Tasmania to the industry is vital. 
The Oyster industry also contributes to the broader Tasmanian community by providing a sentinel role acting as an environmental health indicator and providing information such as water quality data to other sectors.
