Firefighters have been called to a fire in a building at the Fisheries Research Centre at Port Stephens.
Crews arrived at the Anna Bay facility just after 5.30am on Wednesday to find smoke issuing from the building.
It turns out an aerator attached to a 230 litre water tank burnt out.
Crews used a CO2 extinguisher to douse the flames.
The fire was contained to the aerator.
