[South Australia] – As the global aquaculture industry continues to evolve, EP Aquaculture Pty Ltd enters 2025 with new challenges and opportunities. Our company’s leadership has officially released the annual sustainability goals, aiming to strengthen its competitive edge in the global market while promoting more environmentally friendly and efficient aquaculture practices.

I. Key Sustainability Goals for 2025

1. Reducing Aquaculture Carbon Emissions by 20%

Our company plans to implement low-energy recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) across all its facilities and expand the use of solar and wind energy to reduce reliance on traditional power sources. By the end of 2025, EP Aquaculture aims to achieve a 20% reduction in carbon emissions compared to the previous year. To accomplish this, our company has launched multiple initiatives, including optimizing production processes, upgrading equipment, and enhancing energy management.

Furthermore, EP Aquaculture is collaborating with energy firms to build small-scale solar power stations near its facilities, providing clean energy to its operations. The Chief Sustainability Officer stated, “Reducing carbon emissions is not only our corporate responsibility but also an inevitable trend in industry development. We aspire to be a leader in green aquaculture.”

2. Expanding Zero-Antibiotic Farming to 80% of Facilities

In 2024, EP Aquaculture successfully implemented zero-antibiotic farming in 50% of its aquaculture facilities. In 2025, our company will further optimize feed formulas, introduce more natural nutritional supplements, and improve water quality management to expand zero-antibiotic farming coverage to 80%.

To achieve this, EP Aquaculture will integrate advanced biological control techniques, utilizing beneficial microorganisms to regulate the aquatic environment and reduce disease risks at the source. Additionally, our company plans to strengthen its aquatic health monitoring system, employing genetic screening and artificial intelligence-driven data analysis to enhance disease prevention capabilities.

3. Increasing Wastewater Recycling Rate to 90%

EP Aquaculture aims to upgrade its existing wastewater treatment systems, incorporating more advanced water purification technologies to maximize wastewater recycling and minimize environmental impact. In 2025, our company will invest in building a model wastewater recycling facility, serving as a reference for the global aquaculture industry.

II. Global Market Expansion and Supply Chain Optimization

In 2025, EP Aquaculture will intensify its expansion efforts in the Asian market, targeting Singapore, South Korea, and the UAE. Our company will establish local warehousing and logistics networks to enhance delivery efficiency. To improve product competitiveness, EP Aquaculture will introduce optimized cold chain transportation solutions, ensuring seafood remains fresh from farm to consumer.

Our company’s CEO stated, “Sustainability is not just our responsibility but also a key driver of our future competitiveness. We will continue leveraging innovation and scientific advancements to propel the global aquaculture industry toward a greener, more efficient future.”
