A place to discuss aquaponics

Hi all, I have just finished work experience with Commercial Aquaculture Development and i now have access to the following.

Trout 15+cm $4.50each (50 available)

Marron various sizes (price to be determined) 3 tonnes available

Yabbies 5,6-7cm $1.50each 200 available


September-October

Barramundi fingerlings (price to be determined) 3000 available (not a typo)


Let me know what you are after and i will accept orders for small and large quantities.
Thanks

Nic

Forgot to mention i am doing this to supply to AP'ers rather than for profit, i only put on a little for fuel costs to and from suppliers. I know many larger farms can deny smaller orders so even if you just want a few trout to cycle i am more than happy to get you some.

Thanks for your time

Nic

Hi Nicholas, can tell you that we are getting some Blue Marron from Donnybrook way for $27-50 a kilo so may give you an idea on price

For those that are unsure, from memory, Nicholas is TimC's brother and has done work experience at the farm in previous years - also offering fish at reasonable prices for WA forumers

are they supplied as male only? sounds like a good price.

no Bio is sorta secret service, but 5-6 to a kilo and 1 or 2 males and rest female

Thanks EllKayBee

I have put 150+ hours of work exp time into helping this farm and they have given me the rights to on-sell to Ap'ers, it feels good to be able to put something back into the forum for all to benefit. When Tim first started AP i spend hours researching companies for fish and trying to get prices. The hardest thing is to just buy 10 or 20 fish as most of them only sell in the 100s.

Another problem is a lot of the farms are out in the rural parts of W.A and with the given costs of fuel each fish can start costing 1 or 2 dollars more. We are located in Forrestfield which is just in the foothills, i am happy for orders of any size

Thanks

Nic

Hi Nocky,

Thanks for the offer of blue marron, if you want i will contact a few suppliers see if i can find them cheaper for you and maybe a little closer than donnybrooke .

The marron i have are common and its hard for me to give prices atm as i don't want to say $1.50 each and they end up costing me $5 each and are 10cm long

Nic

wasn't really an offer Nicolas just a guide, not much difference in price for Blues or Browns, yours at 10cm would be around the $27.50 per KG mark, Blues are expensive through pet shops but from full on suppliers are much cheaper

Nick, thanks, will get some barra in october

+1 just won't need as many as OBO would like around 50 i think will contact you when ready and do an order with OBO thanks dude

Nic,

whats the price on the barra?

cheers

I haven't been given a price yet will check back with the supplier soon.

Also if people need marron let me know i am ready to go pick them up just need some numbers.

Thanks

Nic

Nic be careful about selling and especially transporting Marron out of season, there are some very strict rules you need a license basically, http://www.fish.wa.gov.au/docs/pub/Lice ... s.php?0308 look here and definitely look here, http://www.fish.wa.gov.au/docs/aq/aq013/index.php if you don't have a license be careful what you display in public I know people that have been busted

Nic

Let me know when you sort out a price for the Barra, I'm keen for about 35 in Oct.
Cheers
