Our Profile

Prawn FarmGold Coast Marine Aquaculture (GCMA) is one of the largest Black Tiger Prawn farming companies in Australia with an annual production capacity of ≈ 800 tonnes.

The original farm was founded on Cane land at the mouth of the Logan River, South East Queensland by Noel Herbst in 1986; it remains a family owned business.

The prawns are marketed as Gold Coast Tiger Prawns; they are one of Australia’s most recognised prawns having won Gold Medals in 2023, 2021, 2019, 2018, 2016, 2014, 2013, 2011, 2010 and 2009 (also 2007, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002) at Sydney’s Royal Fine Food Show.

In 2010 GCMA was the first Black Tiger Prawn farm in the world to fully stock with juveniles from domesticated brood stock rather than juveniles bred from wild caught brood stock.
