Aquaculture is the farming of aquatic organisms for the purpose of trade, business or research. Aquaculture may be undertaken on land in tanks and ponds to raise species such as abalone, barramundi, Murray Cod, Rainbow/Brown Trout, yabbies and marron.

Aquaculture also occurs offshore in marine waters to grow species such as Southern Bluefin Tuna, Yellowtail Kingfish, Blue Mussels, Pacific Oysters and abalone. Methods used in offshore areas include cages, long lines and/or racks depending on the species that is being cultured.
