Ella Mae Fishing

Sustainable Development of Wild-Catch Seafood Production

Ella Mae Fishing Pty Ltd is a leader in sustainable fishing practices, focused on revolutionising the fishing industry by improving catch handling systems and reducing the environmental impact. Based in Australia, they leverage innovative technologies to enhance the sustainability of wild-catch seafood production, ensuring healthier marine ecosystems and more responsible resource utilisation.

OBJECTIVES

Ella Mae Fishing is committed to reducing the environmental impact of professional fishing by enhancing the survival of bycatch and improving the quality of the retained seafood products. Their goals also include improving working conditions for crew, minimising habitat disruption, promoting marine biodiversity, and supporting the economic stability of fishing communities through more eco-efficient practices.

INNOVATION

At the heart of Ella Mae Fishing’s latest innovation is the development of a Fish-First Barrel Hopper, a sophisticated system designed to significantly improve the handling of catches and the survival of bycatch.

This system sorts and releases unintended catches more gently and quickly to reduce workload for crew, and stress and mortality of catch – achieving a healthier environment in the sea and on the back deck.

IMPACT

Ella Mae Fishing’s approach contributes to a circular economy by promoting more eco-efficient use of marine resources; reducing waste and increasing the value of production. Their innovative catch handling system not only improves the sustainability of resource use but also improves the profitability of the fishing business. By integrating eco-efficiency into every aspect of their operations, Ella Mae Fishing ensures that marine resources are used responsibly to maximise conservation for future generations and work harmoniously with natural cycles within ecosystems that continually provides and regenerates the most delicious and healthy food for the wellbeing of humans.

“We’re committed to transforming the fishing industry by developing advanced technology and practices in harmony with marine biodiversity and resource abundance. Our innovative Fish-First Barrel Hopper is setting new standards for environmental stewardship in wild-catch seafood production.”
