AUSTRALIAN SEAFOOD INDUSTRIES

Australian Seafood Industries (ASI) is an award winning research and development company specialising in an Australia-wide Pacific Oyster selective breeding program. Owned by industry, our aim is to collaboratively advance the Australian oyster industry through cutting edge technologies... ASI is an industry owned company, formed in 2000 to carry forward an Australian-wide pacific oyster selective breeding program which commenced in 1997... ASI is owned by Oysters Tasmania and the South Australian Oyster Research Council/South Australian Oyster Growers Association, who each have an equal shareholding. There have been several iterations of the ASI business plan but currently the model revolves around collecting a POMS breeding service fee on Pacific Oyster seed under agreement with commercial hatchery producers. The agreement is with the commercial hatcheries but ultimately it is the growers who pay the service fee.
