Australia earns over $2.4 billion from fish and aquaculture production, and the market is growing each year. In addition, recreational and sport fishing is a pastime for 3 million Australians who spend $3.5 billion annually in pursuit of their fishing. The value of our commercial and recreational fisheries is enhanced by our freedom from many fish diseases that cause problems overseas. We want to keep it that way, and the training kit is one of the tools we will use to protect our fishing and aquaculture sectors.

The site has been designed so that the latest information can be published here quickly and efficiently. It also contains:

This site and the Awareness CD ROM Kit builds on the efforts of both industry and government to date, and looks to assist the continued development of a profitable and sustainable Australian fisheries and aquaculture industry.
