THE remaining southern bluefin tuna Clean Seas propagated at Arno Bay earlier this year are fast approaching 1 kilogram in weight and all is on track for the company to take the next step towards the commercialisation of the fish on a large scale.
The fish weighed over 500 grams recently, but the company has turned the water temperature down further to slow their growth rate as they are still being kept in tanks at the onshore breeding facility so the company's scientists can research their growth.
The company is putting all of its efforts into expanding its operation in readiness to have fingerlings in the water early next year.
"We are working towards achieving our goals and the next step will be going commercial," Clean Seas chairman Hagen Stehr said.
