New overseas staff coming

We have four staff coming from overseas in may for operations in the packing room and off shore. These four are experts in thier field and it has taken some time to make the arrangements.

Emma, new to the hatcheries

We have picked up the first of a series of new buildings that will be used for staff quarters,officers, and hatcheries.

The company currently has three freshwater hatcheries with everything from carp to rare Australian native fish. It has two marine hatcheries with design work on a large marine facility now underway. The same team that constucted our new residence and offices we hope to get up this year to rebuild our freshwater hatcheries which have has a lot of cyclone damage in the last two years. The hatcheries will do mainly australian native fish for the local and international market.

Australian Coral Farms is also in the process of buying three thousand glass tanks from overseas for expansion of the marine facility. This is in addition to a large number of plastic tanks in storage and more on the way.

Australian Coral farms are building facilities in tandem with its accumulation of operating licences in the fields of aquaculture and specimen collection.

Just Dreaming Details
Length 8.0 meters

We have now installed a second 250 ETec to the boat and the performance is better!

Engine Twin 250 hp Etec.

Australian coral farms is attempting to expand its production of marine specimens by both quota accumulation and aquaculture. There is obviously a limit to how much quota can be accumulated due to the limit of licences and quota. There are for example 13 fish collecting licences in Western Australia with five of those having coral quota endorsements. The current total quota is 7,500 kg of coral for 20,000 km of coastline. Australian Coral Farms holds 4,000 kg of this

Future

The company believes the future is with offshore coral farming and has had applications for this with the Western Australia government

We are awaiting the assessment and approval of these offshore sites.

More building

14/01/08

Stage one of the new officers and accomadation is almost completed and we have begin issues associated with stage two which involve employe housing for up to 25. Two generator buildings, a 6 car garage, boat shed to hold 2 ten meter boats, and the repair of the freshwater hatcheries.

We will keep you posted.

The Dampier Achipelago
This is our office.

We have been slowly outfitting some of the new buildings in the last few weeks. We now have over 400 new tanks on site and are slowly installing them. There was more work involved than we first thought.

Our Tanks and Hatcheries

Another New Boat / 27/10/07

We have a new small boat for out of the way places and night work. The boat to be named at this stage Sneeky will fill a gap that has appeared in our operations since the delivery of Just Dreaming a year ago.

Sneeky

5.5 meters long

60 hp ETec motor

24/12/07

Emma has been a valuable addition to the staff and will enable us tostart doing internet orders again.

14/01/08

We have sent off early design criteria for the first of the two new super boats.

At 10.5 meters they will be still trailer boats but with 1,000 liters of fuel and 2 of the new 300 hp ETec outboards they will have the performance we will require to cover larger distances. the trailers they will be on will be 10 ton trailers so we will have the ability to carry a lot of water.

More details to follow.

Hatchery six has finally been cleaned out and we will be doing a lot of work over the next three weeks to take the weight of the cnew tanks. There will be over 100 ton of water in the building at any one time so the floor in places will need a extra concrete base. The cleanout took us longer than expected due to the amount of stuff we have accumilated.

More buildings.

We picked up a few more buildings to help with storage and as these have now arrived they will be a help for storage of poly cartons etc.

More hatcheries

The first of the the new hatcheries for fish culture is close to being finnished from a design point of view.. We will be building 5 times2000 square meter hatcheries for fish, coral and inverts. these will be hatcheries 7,8,9,10 and 11. Currently we collect fish etc that need to get to a larger size for transport. Such as convict blennies, of which we have 4,000 currently in stock, hatchery 7 will be for that. as well as marine fish culture such as clown fish. Hatchery 8 will be for aquacultured coral, etc.
