We’re thrilled to announce that Fresh By Design has been awarded the contract to deliver the Aquaculture Systems for the Macquarie Perch Recovery Centre, a key component of the Snobs Creek Hatchery expansion led by the Victorian Fisheries Authority (VFA).
This purpose-built facility is a key component of the Victorian Government’s $96 million commitment to enhance recreational fishing and support the recovery of threatened native fish species. The new Macquarie Perch Recovery Centre will play a vital role in increasing the production of Macquarie Perch and Trout Cod, helping to secure the future of these iconic species.
The recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) will be designed to support the long-term captive breeding with advanced RAS filtration technology, water quality control and biosecurity measures.
We are proud to contribute to this vital conservation effort and excited to collaborate with VFA on delivering a facility that plays a leading role in native fish recovery and biodiversity outcomes in Victoria.
