A New South Wales aquaculture farm will export tens of thousands of native golden perch fingerlings to China as demand grows for Australian fish.

A fish farm in southern New South Wales is attempting to establish an export market for live golden perch in China.

He says the appetite for cod is not being met, which has created an opportunity to export other species. Uarah Fisheries exported one batch of golden perch fingerlings before the COVID-19 pandemic, but impacts on airlines stopped further sales."We only started talking about resending golden perch again last year and someone already asked for 10 million fingerlings, which we simply can't produce," he said.

"The advantage of the perch species is that they won't have these little bones ," he said.China has roughly 53 times the population of Australia and Dr Yu says that makes exporting a worthwhile enterprise.Australia's total seafood exports for 2024-25 are forecast to be worth $1.37 billion, mostly driven by salmonids, rock lobster, prawns, abalone, tuna and pearls.
