About the Producer:

Walker Seafoods Australia is a Queensland-based tuna company operating along the entire east coast of Australia, with its main processing and packaging port located in Mooloolaba. The company is renowned for producing high-quality, export-grade products.

Owning five vessels, Walker Seafoods operates its own export and processing facility in Mooloolaba, employing six skippers and thirty-three crew members. Additionally, a shore-based management team, including a Fishing Master, oversees operations.

The company participates in the Eastern Tuna Billfish Fishery (ETBF), a Commonwealth fishery managed by the Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA). AFMA is responsible for the sustainable management and efficient use of Australia’s fisheries resources.

The ETBF employs a Harvest Strategy based on scientific data to determine the Recommended Biological Commercial Catch (RBCC). These recommendations inform the Total Allowable Commercial Catch (TACC) for the five main species within the fishery: Yellowfin Tuna, Bigeye Tuna, Albacore Tuna, Striped Marlin, and Broadbill Swordfish.

Walker Seafoods collaborates closely with AFMA observers, as well as scientists from CSIRO and the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD). The company’s vessels and operators have contributed to tagging studies for both tuna and swordfish, earning a reputation as the preferred choice for CSIRO’s scientific studies and projects.

Since 2002, Walker Seafoods has established itself as the largest company in the ETBF, boasting the highest catch rates and quota holdings. The company attributes its success to a strong focus on quality, which is highly valued by clients and consumers in Japan, America, and Australia.
