Do you know the difference between a good and a bad consultant? A bad consultant knows everything. A good consultant knows, he does not know everything, but he knows where to get accurate information for you.
Bruce Sambell, often called the Jade Perch Man, or Perch Man, is the founder and designer of Ausyfish Bruce has been involved with fish at a commercial level for over 40 years. His role as industry consultant has provided cross sector experience at many levels. Sound advice is available to existing industry participants and especially those considering entering freshwater finfish aquaculture. Bruce has gained considerable experience over the years as the commercial development of Australian native freshwater fish developed. Bruce was the first to breed many species, including sleepy cod freshwater archer fish, and a number of Australian native freshwater fish. Bruce was one of the first to ever spawn jade perch He has now been breeding them continually, longer than anyone currently in the industry.
