Our Fisheries
Austfish have various fisheries located In Darwin.
Northern Prawn Fishery (NPF)
The pristine waters of the Northern Prawn Fishery (NPF), Australia’s largest and most valuable prawn fishery, are some of the most abundant and isolated in the world. The 6000kms of coastline harbors the most spectacular untouched wilderness and includes a diverse range of ecosystems, weather and wildlife. It’s these pristine waters that the succulent and wild-caught banana, tiger, endeavour and king prawns from the NPF call home.
The Northern Prawn Fishery is certified as sustainable against the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) global environmental standard for sustainable and well managed fisheries. NPF banana, tiger and endeavour prawns will now carry the blue MSC marine ecolabel.
