Australia Clean Seas Tuna Limited has received construction approval for tuna breeding infrastructure at its Arno Bay Hatchery.
The company has received construction approval for its in-ground tanks for the southern bluefin tuna hatchery breeding facilities.
â€The Cleve District Council's construction approval of the in-ground 25m by 6.5m holding tanks is another positive step for shareholders,†he said.
The in-ground 25m by 6.5m tanks will hold three megaliters of water housed in its own light and temperature controlled sheds.
Each tank will be supported by its own water treatment recirculation plant.
The SBT breeding facility at ArnoBay was designed by UNI-Aqua of Denmark, which has previously built reticulation systems for salmon, trout, turbot, sole, cod, halibut and abalone.
Construction is expected to begin early this year.
