Company Profile
Australian Fishing Enterprises was formed in 1987.
Mr. Sime (Sam) Sarin is the founder of Australian Fishing Enterprises and
is still currently the active President of the company. Mr Sarin has been
in the Tuna industry for over 40 years, which has seen the capture of tuna
for canning, to the now farming/Ranching of tuna for the Japanese Sashimi
market. Australian Fishing Enterprises is the largest Southern Bluefin
Tuna quota holder in Australia. |

|
| The ranching of our Southern Bluefin Tuna requires significant amounts of
small pelagic species as feed for the tuna. Australian Fishing Enterprises
has 2 purse seine vessels to catch Sardines for tuna feed. The Sardines
are fed to the tuna fresh or sent ashore to our land based processing
facility where they are frozen and stored until required. |

|
We catch and sell fresh fish into the Australian domestic market and are
pioneering the catching, processing and freezing of premium quality
product onboard two new vessels. This product is being successfully sold
into both domestic and overseas markets.
Australian Fishing Enterprises has developed a significant in-house
engineering capability to ensure continuous operational support for the
fleet of catching and farm support vessels.
In the late 1980’s Mr. Sarin and Australian Fishing Enterprises started to
become involved in the South East Trawl Industry. Australian Fishing
Enterprises operates a fleet of 8 catching vessels in the South East
Fishery, the Great Australian Bight, Southern Bluefin and small pelagic
fisheries. |

Australian Fishing Enterprises has developed from being a supplier of
fresh fish only into the local markets to processing and freezing premium
quality products onboard for international trade.
