Aquaculture industry associations

Connect with other aquaculture farmers, investors and industry experts by joining an industry association:

• Australian Barramundi Farmers Association (ABFA)
• Queensland Crayfish Farmers Association (QCFA)
• Queensland Oyster Growers Association (QOGA)

How they help

Industry associations advocate for you by:

• notifying you about legislation changes that could, or will, affect your business
• lobby on behalf of your industry to influence government policy.

They may send regular communications on:

• training programs available from the association or a government entity
• emerging research on relevant species and innovation in production systems
• seminars and speaking events with industry experts
• agricultural expos and conventions
• general networking events for members.
