Australis Aquaculture lifts annual fish sales 20pc 16:09, Tuesday, July 31, 2007
Sydney - Tuesday - July 31: (RWE Australian Business News) - Australis Aquaculture Ltd (ASX:AAQ) says it made substantial progress during the fourth quarter in meeting its key production objective of 1000 tpa output from its Turners Falls facility. Since January, the company has consistently achieved the stocking levels required to meet this target, resulting in a 35pc increase in the number of fish in its production tanks during the quarter. June inventory reached record levels in terms of both numbers of fish and value, with inventory value exceeding $4 million. Annual fish sales rose more than 20pc over the prior year with all available product being sold, reflecting continued strong demand for Australis's product. Sales during the quarter were still constrained by reduced output resulting from the company's inability to stock at target levels prior to January. Shares in Australis Aquaculture fell 2c to 55c today. ENDS
