The sale of ‘Yamba Aquaculture’ offers astute investors an opportunity to acquire two modern aquaculture farms in one line, at a time when the aquaculture industry is rapidly transitioning from wild caught seafoods to a variety of burgeoning farmed enterprises.
Aquaculture is a method used to produce food and other commercial products, replenish wild stocks, and even rebuild populations of threatened and endangered species. In 2019/20 the gross value of the NSW aquaculture sector was over $90 million, accounting for 45% of total seafood production in the state.
Likewise, Aquaculture can involve the use of macroalgae (seaweed) cultivation, to capture carbon through photosynthesis and then sequester it; or the production of macroalgae supplements provides high potential, social and environmental co-benefits.
Seaweed products increase the average daily weight gain and milk production in cattle; whilst macroalgae supplements reduce enteric methane production in cattle and sheep. This property has been operated as a large-scale tiger prawn farm, it can be developed to grow out fish (such as mulloway, barramundi, snapper or yellowtail kingfish), crabs & oysters, or a combination of all including seaweed production.
Large Scale Aquaculture:
The property is ideally located near Yamba on the Northern Rivers of NSW and offers excellent logistics roads including access and to both Sydney and Brisbane markets in an enviable year-round climate. We are offering a rare opportunity to acquire a modern large scale intensive farmed aquaculture asset with a combined area of the two farms totals 99.55ha/245.99acres and comprises 38 grow out ponds, 3 settlement ponds and all associated state-of-the-art infrastructure, including channels, pumps, internal roads and security.
