It is regulated, to the max.
There are over 40 laws currently in place to regulate environmental impact of Tasmania’s salmon industry. These regulations, and our reporting requirements, are significantly stricter than any other industry in this State.
The Tasmanian government regulations are admired as the most stringent in the global salmon industry.
We have more red tape than Norway, New Zealand, Chile and Scotland – and we produce far less salmon than they do.
The EPA is the key regulator in Tasmania, they have a dedicated Salmon Regulation Department and workforce dedicated to industry regulation.
