Australasian aquaculture stocks have seen mixed fortunes in the first five weeks of the year on the Australian (ASX) and New Zealand (NZX) Stock Exchanges.

Huon has seen a slightly better run to Feb. 6 than rival Tassal, though there is little to choose between them stock performance-wise.

The Tasmania-based producer, which is abandoning plans for its controversial kingfish farm in New South Wales just two years into the project's five-year trial, has seen its share price rise by just a single percent this year.
