The NPF Industry Pty Ltd is an incorporated body owned by the fishing operators of Australia’s Northern Prawn fishery (NPF). The company was formed in 2007 to represent the interests of NPF operators and to promote the on-going sustainable development of the fishery. The Northern Prawn Fishery is Australia's most valuable Commonwealth fishery and incorporates the pristine waters from Cape York to the Kimberleys.

Each year NPF fishers catch approximately 4000 tonnes of banana prawns and 2000 tonnes of tiger prawns, together with minor catches of  king and endeavour prawns.  The fleet of 52  trawlers is  highly regulated and complies with  a complex system of seasonal and permanent closures, stringent reporting requirements and the compulsory use of  nets equipped with turtle excluder and bycatch reduction devices. The prawn products from the NPF are highly sought-after and are sold in both the domestic and export markets.

Our shareholders are actively involved in all aspects of the fishery, including management, research, marketing and promotion.  We work cooperatively with governments, scientists, conservation groups and other stakeholders  to manage  the NPF in the most sustainable way,  to enhance the value and quality of our seafood products,  and to maintain the delicate marine eco-system from which our fine products are sourced.

The NPF Industry Pty Ltd -  committed to unity, innovation, excellence.
