About Us

Seafood Innovations Pty Ltd develops and tests equipment and systems based on research and practical experience in seafood technology. We specialize in world-leading, efficient, humane harvest systems and associated equipment for finfish as a major focus of our business. Our approach is to give the best personal and practical support to our clients based on our experience and technical knowledge of fish harvesting technology.

Our head office is in Brisbane, Australia with a research base and demonstration facilities in Dover, Tasmania. This is where trials and development work are conducted in cooperation with the Huon Aquaculture Company, one of Australia’s top salmon farmers and processors. Training courses are also held at the Dover base, enabling students from all over the world to learn how to “harvest profits” by boosting harvest efficiency, and thus ensuring a quick Return on Investment.

Seafood Innovations assemble, check and test run all equipment.  We apply the results of on-going field testing research, and offer continuing upgrade services.

We have authorised agents or consultants in all major salmon producing areas – Norway, Scotland, Canada and Chile – and can be contacted 24 hours per day by phone, fax or email to discuss technical requirements or provide backup for our equipment.
