The purpose of this Emission Estimation Technique (EET) Manual is to assist State and Territory authorities in estimating emissions of listed substances for the National Pollution Inventory (NPI). This manual contains a general summary of the aquaculture industry in tropical Australia and describes the procedures and recommended methods for estimating emissions from Tropical Aquaculture Facilities.

The species covered by this manual are:
- prawns (Penaeus spp.)
- barramundi (Lates calcarifer) and other fin fish
- pearl oyster (Pinctada spp.)
- red Claw (Cherax quadricarinatus)
- donkeys Ear Abalone (Haliotis asinina)
