They call me the Perch Man, because of my intimate knowledge of Australian perch.

My experience has been gained over the years while the commercial development of Australian native freshwater fish industry grew and evolved in Australia. I was the first to breed many species, including sleepy cod, (soon hock) and a number of Australian native freshwater fish. I was on the first expedition to collect the original breeders of jade perch from the Barcoo River, central Australia. I was one of the very first to ever spawn jade perch. (I am told I was the second person to breed them.) This was over 30 years ago. I have now been breeding them continuously, longer than anyone currently in the industry. In fact, the decision to use jade perch as their marketing name was made at my kitchen table.

Many people have entered aquaculture without realising they are starting a business. It’s not just a “side line”, it’s a business on its own. You need to consider; do you have the time to manage a new business?

Do you have the necessary skills to grow fish?

Do you have the time and commitment to learn a new skill?
