Q

 Why are fish so expensive to buy?

A

 Because they are in short supply. About 80% of all fish consumed in Victoria come from interstate and overseas. In addition, the supply from our oceans is in decline and only aquaculture can make up the shortfall and possibly bring the prices down. Without a strong aquaculture industry in Victoria prices can only go higher.

Q

 What is so special about farmed fish?

A

 They are of consistent size and quality, and available all year round. Prices do not fluctuate wildly due to seasonal factors.
