Need

The Eyre Peninsula Seafood and Aquaculture Trail was developed in 2002 and currently involves 14 operators who provide public tours of seafood and/or aquaculture operations. The program is promoted through Tourism South Australia and uses a specific ‘food trail’ map/guide to show details of tour opportunities along the coastal highway between Adelaide and Ceduna. The program:
(1) provides additional income streams for the operators through tour fees and farm gate sales, and for other local businesses such as restaurants and motels;
(2) promotes regional seafood and aquaculture produce; and
(3) positively influences community perceptions about these industries.

Since its inception, the program has resulted in over 77,000 tours - succeeding in all the above objectives.

Aquaculture in NSW (and to some extent in other States) is predominantly comprised of small operations. Most would benefit significantly from additional income streams (eg. tour income and farm gate sales), and regional promotion of their products. There are also issues of public perception (particularly in coastal areas) that would benefit from positive tourism. Similarly, the fishing industry in some States is in decline (in terms of permitted fishing effort and profitability) and would also benefit from the above.
This project meets the following FRDC research priorities for 2005/08 :
- Increase the profitability of businesses supporting the (three sectors of the) fishing industry.
- Develop relationships with community groups that can assist the fishing industry.
- Educate the community about fisheries and aquaculture management and its contribution to Australia.

Objectives

1. To document the development of the successful Eyre Peninsula (SA) Seafood and Aquaculture Trail.
2. To provide a resource for those interested in developing a similar concept in other States.

Project number: 2002-433
Project Status:

Objectives

1. Identify key merchandising needs/requirements of Australian seafood retailers, and common impediments to better in-store product promotion, customer awareness and delivery of fishing/aquaculture industry profile, by both suppliers and retailers.
2. Obtain feedback/ideas on the above from a national (rather than regional) perspective
summarise the information, and make/implement recommendations to improve the availability, usefulness and use of merchandising material/POS aids (including Quick and Easy Seafood magazine) thus leading to improved seafood sales and the enhanced delivery of industry profile messages.

Summary

Three years ago, Seafood Australia Pty Ltd, which publishes Seafood Australia trade magazine, began a series of seafood recipe books titled Quick+Easy Seafood, for distribution through seafood retail shops. Their purpose is to assist retailers develop sales, and to convey industry profile messages to consumers.

To improve distribution of the books, the publisher (Principal Investigator) conducted a survey by personal visit to forty seven seafood shops in five States, to examine impediments to the use of Point-of-Sale (POS) promotion material, and to the process of information distribution generally, at retail level. The survey primarily targeted re-sellers of the Q+E Seafood books.

As a relatively small number of large, independent seafood shops are responsible for a significant proportion of total retail sales of Australian seafood, there is probably a great deal to be achieved by well planned and well supported POS communication through this sector.
