Oyster farming is a Tasmanian success story.
Our 40 growers are locals who live and work in the community.
They employ more than 300 Tasmanians to grow more than 3 million dozen oysters each year.
You will find our farms in the cool waters of Tasmania’s north, east, and south.
Our product is an organic delicacy, and a natural source of protein, omega 3, iron and magnesium.
Our farming is low impact, with no feed and no waste.
Oysters are filter feeders that get all their nutrition from the natural environment. Through this they help maintain the health of our estuaries and coastal waters.
Oysters sequester carbon in their shells. Farming oysters involves lower greenhouse gas emissions than the farming of all other meat, fish and crustaceans.
Our industry pays more than $1 million in industry-specific fees to the State Government each year.
For details, see our Oyster Industry Report and the associated data.
