Barramundi

Overview

Barramundi is largely produced in four countries— Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. Each country performs at or below the global species average score (50). With scores ranging from a high of 50 (Malaysia) to a low of 41 (Thailand) and an average barramundi score of 44, it ranks in the bottom half of all marine finfish species assessed. The three Asian producers of barramundi tend to perform similarly across indicators, while Australia often tends to be the outlier. Barramundi comprised less than 1% of global marine finfish production in 2007.
