“Representing the post-harvest sector of the Queensland seafood industry for over 45 years, Queensland Seafood Marketers Association’s mandate is to promote the quality and wholesomeness of Queensland Seafood” 

Queensland Seafood: World-Class Quality, Locally Sourced 

Queensland seafood stands among the finest in the world—renowned for its exceptional diversity, flavour, and quality. Harvested using industry-leading, sustainable fishing practices, it reflects the best of our marine resources and the dedication of those who bring it to market. 

The Queensland Seafood Marketers Association (QSMA) exists to ensure that the excellence of Queensland seafood is recognised and celebrated—locally, nationally, and globally. 

Powered by Industry Expertise 

QSMA’s strength lies in its vibrant membership of post-harvest seafood professionals—processors, wholesalers, retailers, and exporters—who share a deep commitment to Queensland seafood. Their collective expertise and vision drive the ongoing development and success of the industry. With a vision to foster a seafood processing sector that is: 

• Dynamic and competitive in the marketplace 

• Environmentally responsible and sustainable 

• Economically viable 

• Open to collaboration with government and other sectors to support a thriving business environment 

Collaborating for Growth 

For over 45 years, QSMA has championed the development and expansion of markets for Queensland’s premium seafood products. Our mission is to promote seafood not only for its outstanding taste, but also for its nutritional value—as a wholesome, healthy source of essential vitamins and minerals. 

QSMA represents the full spectrum of the post-harvest sector, developing targeted marketing campaigns and identifying new opportunities across Australia and abroad. We are proactive and responsive to emerging trends, leveraging innovation to raise awareness of Queensland seafood’s superior quality and to enhance returns for all stakeholders in the supply chain.
