Barramundi (Lates calcarifer) is a saltwater white fish native to the tropical Indo-Pacific waters and is iconic in Australian and Southeast Asian cuisine. Barramundi are highly valued as a commercial and recreational fishing species and are considered particularly well suited for aquaculture. Barramundi have evolved to thrive on a predominantly plant-based diet while still being able to form long-chain fatty acids which provide important human health benefits.

Greener Grazing

To complement its efforts in sustainable fish production, Australis is also tackling climate change through Greener Grazing, an ambitious one-of-a-kind initiative to cultivate a red seaweed with the potential to virtually eliminate enteric methane emissions from livestock when included in their diet.
 
Methane released from livestock is responsible for almost four and a half gigatons of CO2 equivalent every year. If successful, Greener Grazing has the potential to dramatically reduce methane emissions from the world’s two billion cattle – one of the single most effective strategies to reduce global warming in the near term and support COP26 goals to limit global warming to one and a half degrees Celsius.
