About
Huon Aquaculture is a Tasmanian seafood producer specialising in premium farmed salmon. Founded in 1986 and headquartered in Hobart, the business operates an integrated aquaculture model spanning freshwater hatcheries, marine farming, harvesting, processing and distribution. Huon became part of the global JBS Group in 2021, supporting its access to larger-scale food supply-chain capabilities while retaining a strong Tasmania-based operating footprint. The company is recognised for Atlantic salmon farming and for supplying retail, foodservice and wholesale customers.
Products
Huon Aquaculture produces farmed Atlantic salmon, including fresh whole fish, fillets, portions and value-added chilled and frozen salmon formats. Its offering also includes smoked salmon and selected ocean trout products. Products are positioned for retail, hospitality, foodservice and seafood trade channels, with processing designed to provide portion-controlled and customer-ready formats in addition to whole-fish supply.
Export markets
The company’s core market is Australia, where it serves national retail, wholesale and foodservice demand from Tasmania. Huon also has experience supplying international customers, particularly in Asia-Pacific export channels, with Tasmanian salmon positioned as a premium seafood product. Export availability and product specifications are dependent on market access, customer requirements and cold-chain logistics.
