Terminator Fishing is a leading seafood wholesaler in the North of Queensland specialising in fresh Barracuda, Trevally. Flathead and Mangrove Jack. As a commercial operation Terminator recognises the need to maintain its catch in state of the art refrigeration storage. Refrigeration is the key to Terminator Fishing’s business model, each catch must be kept fresh and cold storage is central to its seafood quality.
Most of Terminator Fishing’s product is marketed to domestic wholesalers and supermarket chains as whole fish or fillets, but export markets are becoming more important. As with other aquaculture industries, economies of scale are important in reducing production costs. Terminator Fishing is a leading industry player and recognises the importance of keeping its power costs in order they did not hesitate in contacting Solar Link Australia to keep their energy costs down. Electricity thus makes up a significant cost in the business and continues to increase as a % of overall business costs.

Given the ever increasing cost of power, Terminator Fishing called on Solar Link Australia’s expertise to provide a power saving Solar Power Solution.
