The aquaculture group is claiming A$1.5 million in damages after 60,000 fish died during the trial.
According to ABC, the Tassal Group has lodged a writ over the alleged loss of fish in a research trial.
In a statement of claim lodged in the Supreme Court, Tassal says it agreed to let the university use some of its salmon in a field trial in December 2005.
