The Aquaculture Advisory Committee (AAC) was established by the Government of South Australia to support the development of the aquaculture sector in the state- the birthplace of Southern bluefin tuna ranching. Its role was to provide relevant advice to the Minister regarding the administration of the Aquaculture Act 2001, related policies, proposals, regulations and any amendments to them. [1] In 2012, Fisheries Minister Gail Gago described the AAC as playing "a vital role in informing and advising Government to ensure the ecological sustainable development of South Australia’s world-leading aquaculture." [2] In September 2014 it was recommended that the council be abolished in favour of direct sectoral representation. [3]
