Clean Seas Tuna Limited is an innovative state-of-the-art South Australian aquaculture enterprise, with strong links into the Tuna Fishing and fish farming industries. Clean Seas’ operations are situated in Port Lincoln, Fitzgerald Bay, Port Augusta and Arno Bay where our main onshore complex operates on a 400 hectare site. Clean Seas’ core business is the propagation of commercially bred Southern Bluefin Tuna, Mulloway and Kingfish for the domestic market and international consumption.
Using what is believed to be the only captive broodstock in the world, the team at Clean Seas are developing a commercial on-shore breeding facility. This is a major step towards realising the company’s long held goal of closing the life cycle of Southern Bluefin Tuna. When successful, within a decade this process could double the Southern Bluefin Tuna catch, without impacting on wild tuna stocks.
Clean Seas Tuna Limited has mature Southern Bluefin Tuna broodstock and direct access to the skills and expertise of its parent company and main shareholder -The Stehr Group. The Stehr Group was established in the early 1970’s and is recognised as an Australian leader and International pioneer in tuna fishing, ranching and offshore fish farming.
In 2004/2005 The Stehr Group produced in excess of:
- 650 tonnes of farmed Southern Bluefin Tuna.
- 600 tonnes of aquaculture-bred Kingfish.
- 200 tonnes of aquaculture-bred Mulloway.
Clean Seas Tuna is the first company in the world to successfully transfer large Southern Bluefin Tuna over large distances to its on shore facilities in Arno Bay.
