The ACPF has invited a third round of interest in subsidised (50%) on-board processing innovation machinery as part of the Fight Food Waste CRC project run by Curtin University. We are also interested in other ideas and innovations that could improve on-board efficiency. The same project will produce a packaging chooser to help prawn fishing
The tender process for on-board processing technology trials is now complete. Congratulations to the following operators who succeeded in securing half-cost on-board processing machinery for trial: Ella Mae Fishing Pty Ltd (David Stirling), Tin Can Bay, Qld for Digital scales with grading software for faster manual grading on vessels less than 14m; Dalfish Pty Ltd
Opportunity to obtain on-board prawn processing equipment for half price as part of a research project. Five different types of innovative processing equipment suitable for installation on prawn trawlers have been identified in research conducted by the Fight Food Waste Cooperative Research Centre (CRC). The CRC project is now looking for prawn fishers to co-invest
