Ross Anderson is in a bind. The chief executive of one of Australia’s last ASX-listed fishery companies believes Murray cod has a massive future; he is breeding the native freshwater fish from an endangered species and serving it up at some of the country’s best restaurants.

This unique proposition has attracted heavyweight backers, including AustralianSuper and Regal Funds Management.
