Hundreds of people have attended public meetings in Tasmania to protest against a salmon producer relocating diseased fish to their waterway, complaining there had been "zero consultation".

Earlier this month, the Environment Protection Authority issued permit allowing Huon Aquaculture to temporarily stock fish in Norfolk Bay for harvest.

A spokesman for Huon said the fish were being moved into Norfolk Bay on Sunday in line with the permit.

Salmon in Huon's fish pens off the east coast of Bruny Island have been dying from pilchard orthomyxovirus, the virus that killed 1.3 million fish in Macquarie Harbour a few months ago.

More than 150 people turned out to a meeting in Koonya yesterday, while more than 100 attended a meeting in Dodges Ferry today.

A fishing charter owner from Dodges Ferry, Mark Duncan, said there is widespread concern amongst the community.

"It's the wrong place for salmon farming in Norfolk Bay," he said.

"There's been zero public consultation and the whole community is outraged."

Tasman Peninsula Marine Protection spokesperson, Trish Baily, said they were calling for a moratorium on fish farming.

"This move by Huon into Norfolk Bay really was the straw that broke the camel's back," she said.

"People have had enough. They have to have some answers and they have to know that the industry is not going to expand any more until there have been proper scientific investigations by independent [researchers]."

Sailor Sheenagh Neill said she had hit fish farm piping in her boat.

"They are allowing too much rubbish out of their fish farm leases into the marine waterways," she said.

"We're getting more and more boating accidents."

In a statement, Huon Aquaculture said it did not attend the meeting, but said it "will continue to engage directly with stakeholders and community on the peninsula as well as south-east Tasmania".

"We have distributed thousands of fact sheets and asks anyone who wants to discuss this project to contact us directly."

Greens MP Rosalie Woodruff said they planned to take action in state Parliament this week.

"The Greens will be moving a motion in our private members' time to rescind the approval for Huon to operate in Norfolk Bay," she said.

"There has to be a moratorium on the expansion of salmon farming into Storm Bay and especially into Norfolk Bay."

Tasmania's Resources Minister Guy Barnett said the salmon industry was important for growth in the state.

"We support the 6,000 jobs in the salmon farming sector across Tasmania," he said.

Labor spokeswoman Jen Butler said the party would discuss the motion in the coming days.

"We'll be meeting tomorrow … and we'll be discussing Norfolk Bay and we'll be coming to a conclusion, and Wednesday we'll be debating that in the house," she said.
