Marty Phillips

Nuffield Australia 2010 scholarship winner

Marty Phillips receives the 2010 Nuffield Scholarship supported by Nuffield Australia’s Queensland branch to research aquaculture production and marketing strategies.

Marty operates his own aquaculture business farming barramundi, after diversifying the family farming business from sugarcane, banana and pawpaw production during the past decade. He now focuses solely aquaculture, producing 200 tonnes of fish a year.

He plans to study the fresh water trout industry in the US and quality salmon program in Scotland as part of his research into marketing and aquaculture production techniques and implications for production costs, water quality and fish flavour. His itinerary may also include other aquaculture industries in Europe, North America and New Zealand.
