Business, Industry and Resources – Salmon Farming
Minister, I have a couple of questions about the expansion of the smolt hatchery at Whale Point in the Huon. Huon Aquaculture is proposing to intensify their production there from 500 tonnes to 786 tonnes standing biomass at any one time, and they're proposing to increase a maximum standing biomass of 1446 tonnes by adding an extra 660 tonnes of capacity.Can you please tell me whether the government will be subsidising this expansion and, if so, to what extent, and what the timeline you understand there will be for the expansion of that finfish industry in the Huon?
