Yellowtail Economics +3 more

AUSTRALIA - A Jurien Bay aquaculture farm which suffered severe fish stock losses from an unknown bacteria last month has been placed into voluntary administration.

According to ABCNews, the company is one of the first yellowtail kingfish farms in the state and began operations in July.
