Why YVC is sustainable

1. Strictly chemical free farm.

2. A completely disease free environment.

3. A naturally gravity fed river flow through farm that ensures water is only borrowed temporarily from the river then returned in a healthy acceptable state.

4. Insisting Fish are given plenty of space to move around freely and have a current to swim against.

5. Fish are milked once per year for their roe and then returned to the ponds to spawn again the following year.

6. Refusing to force feed fish, instead following feeding programs that reflect their natural growth patterns in the wild.

7. A long lasting relationship with The Environmental Protection Agency Victoria in maintaining regular testing of inflow and outflow levels of suspended solids etc to comply with Australian standards.

8. A vertically integrated business starting with in-house fertilisation of eggs ensuring strict traceability throughout the growth of the fish.

9. Comprehensive in-house staff training in best practice fish husbandry methods to ensure the health and well being of our animals is first and foremost.
