Murray Cod Australia Limited

Based in the Riverina, New South Wales, Aquna produce premium, pond-grown Murray cod. Aquna pioneering people have crafted a luxurious farmed cod by improving on nature. Aquna have shaped a future for Australia’s native fish, which has an extraordinary history.

Our name, Aquna Sustainable Murray Cod, is derived from the word “Akuna” – an Australian aboriginal word meaning “the way forward” and “flowing water”. Aquna have used the letter ‘q’, as it provides synergy with aquaculture and represents our dedication to innovation.

Aqunagrow high-quality Murray cod in open ponds (or dams) on the Murray-Darling Basin river system – the fish’s native environment. Aquna believe these ideal conditions make our cod the best-tasting on the market; better than fish farmed in indoor, tank-based systems .

With a commercial fishing ban on wild Murray cod, and an increasing appetite for the iconic fish, Aquna has responded by developing a versatile ingredient that gives chefs new and flexible ways of including white-fleshed Murray cod on the menu.

By using a land-based aquaculture model, Aquna has one of the lowest environmental footprints in the industry. On 30 March 2011, Aquna, which trades as Murray Cod Australia Limited, was publicly listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (MCA:ASX).

Aquna’s vision is to make sustainably-farmed Murray cod the fine-dining fish of choice in Australasia and around the globe.

Aquna mission is to produce great-tasting Murray cod, fully traceable from pond to plate, in a way that’s respectful to the environment, our growers, and community.
