Tassal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

TASSAL is Australia's largest producer and exporter of Atlantic Salmon. Modern aquaculture methods are used in the production of salmon by the company.

The company is largely based in Tasmania, with marketing offices located in Melbourne.

Smolt are hatched at a hatchery at Russel Falls and then transferred to fish farms in the Derwent River and other locations around the state.

The fish farms are towed to Dover for extraction, and the fish are gutted and sorted based on weight. Production facilities at Margate and Huonville do 'value added processing' like smoking, filleting etc.
