The South Australian Prawn Co-operative was established by prawn fishermen to exclusively supply the world famous Spencer Gulf King Prawn. With supply from the majority of prawn fishermen who are also owners we can ensure only premium prawns of the highest quality are supplied to our customers.

Austral Fisheries is Australia’s leading integrated commercial seafood business, with a reputation for providing quality, sustainably-caught seafood products to customers around the world for over 50 years. Austral’s fleet totals 19 vessels across three wild fisheries – ranging from the freezing sub-Antarctic to the tropical northern waters of Australia. Austral’s premium, wild-caught seafood brands include Glacier 51 Toothfish, Skull Island Tiger Prawns and Karumba Banana Prawns.

SUPPLYING QUALITY PRAWNS FOR OVER 35 YEARS
We specialise in wild caught Ocean King Prawns caught in Queensland seas, which have an international reputation for being the highest quality prawns/shrimp available. Our seafood products are shipped all over Australia and the world.

SUSTAINABILITY – PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE
Our fishing vessels operate under strict fishing regulations at both Federal and State level, ensuring that the Queensland East Coast Trawl Fishery maintains its accreditation under federal legislation as being ecologically sustainable.

The Ballina fishermen’s co-operative is a local company which deals in the processing and marketing of fresh seafood from local catch.

The Co-op consists of, and is owned by its 26 members who are all independent professionally licenced fishermen. To maintain membership they must turn over through the co-ops financial books, a minimum amount of their catch per annum.
