Clean Seas Seafood

Clean Seas Seafood Ltd is an Australian seafood company, specialising in aquaculture of the yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi).

Clean Seas was formed by the Stehr Group in 2000 and was publicly listed on the Australian Stock Exchange in 2005.

The company’s initial purpose was to propagate and grow southern bluefin tuna (Thunnus maccoyii), as well as other species including yellowtail kingfish. Today, Clean Seas focuses its efforts solely on the sustainable, closed cycle production of yellowtail kingfish.

Clean Seas is recognised for innovative aquaculture practices and reliability in supplying the highest quality fresh fish to markets all over the world, 52 weeks a year. Their operational footprint is on the Eyre Peninsula, South Australia, which includes a hatchery in Arno Bay and multiple farm sites off Port Lincoln in the Spencer Gulf. The head office and processing facility are based in Royal Park, Adelaide.

Fed by the currents from the Southern Ocean, the Spencer Gulf has some of the purest water in the world. Yellowtail kingfish are indigenous to the Spencer Gulf. Unique in Australia, the Spencer Gulf has no rivers feeding into it, and no farmland surrounding it. Therefore, the Kingfish are able to be raised in pristine, peaceful surroundings until they are ready for harvest.

Clean Seas products are certified as sustainable by the Aquaculture Stewardship Council.

Spencer Gulf Kingfish from South Australia is the main brand that Clean Seas use throughout the foodservice industry. However, more recently they have launched a newer brand, South Australian Yellowtail Kingfish, which is targeted at home cooks.  

Clean Seas works with its network of distributors, wholesalers, chefs, restaurants and retailers to develop long-term relationships in markets across the world.  

The unique Spencer Gulf location, environmental conditions and significant aquaculture experience allows Clean Seas to produce a premium quality kingfish.
