Fisheries works in partnership with commercial and recreational fishing industries, the aquaculture industry, Indigenous communities and other stakeholders to achieve optimum sustainable utilisation of the Northern Territory's valuable aquatic resources.
Aquaculture is the farming of aquatic organisms; most commonly fish, molluscs, crustaceans, and aquatic plants, but many other organisms including sponges, amphibians, echinoderms and annelids can be included.
