Harvester: Mainstream Aquaculture, quality and positive impact at scale

Dr. Paul Harrison and Matthew Mangan's journey with Infinity Blue Barramundi is a remarkable blend of passion, innovation, and a deep commitment to sustainability. United under the MainStream Aquaculture brand, their shared vision has led to the creation of one of the most advanced and environmentally responsible aquaculture farms in the world.

Paul, with a PhD in aquatic biology, and Matthew, who made the leap from plumbing to support the business, have dedicated themselves to reimagining traditional aquaculture. Infinity Blue Barramundi is cultivated in pristine, geothermally heated spring water sourced from an ancient aquifer near Melbourne. This unique approach not only ensures optimal growing conditions for the fish but also exemplifies their commitment to minimizing environmental impact. Their facility, recognized as the world’s largest warm water aquaculture farm of its kind, also stands as a leading global supplier of Barramundi fingerlings.

Under the banner of MainStream Aquaculture, with over two decades of expertise, Infinity Blue Barramundi is produced to the highest standards of purity and quality. The land-based farming approach eliminates the need for antibiotics, hormones, and artificial additives, resulting in a product that is as clean and succulent as it is environmentally responsible. By avoiding interference with natural marine ecosystems and carefully managing wastewater, Paul and Matthew ensure that their operations have a minimal environmental footprint.

Sustainability is at the core of everything Infinity Blue Barramundi does. Their innovative use of geothermal energy and solar power to heat water is just one example of their commitment to harnessing natural energy for sustainable protein production. Moreover, their dedication to improving Barramundi genetics has a global impact, as their export program influences Barramundi populations worldwide. This means that exceptional quality Barramundi can be enjoyed anywhere, thanks to the groundwork laid by Paul, Matthew, and their team.

Beyond the fish they produce, the work at Infinity Blue Barramundi is shaping the future of sustainable farming. By investing in cutting-edge technology and sustainable practices, they are setting a new standard for what aquaculture can achieve. Their story is one of innovation, responsibility, and a relentless pursuit of excellence, making Infinity Blue Barramundi a favoured choice for chefs and food service buyers who value both quality and sustainability.
