Seafood CRC: Improved understanding of economics in fisheries harvest strategies
Increased understanding amongst the commercial fishing industry of economic considerations in the management of fisheries was considered a high priority by the CRC, who identified a need to get better support for and implementation of harvest strategies based on Maximum Economic Yield.

Many fisheries managers in Australia have no formal fisheries management, let alone fisheries economics, background or training and tend to learn 'on the job'. There is currently a large gap between economists, researchers and fisheries managers. The latter group is under extreme pressure due to budgetary cuts and if the extensive results of the CRC FH harvest projects are to adopted, there is a need close that gap. The proposed workshop will demonstrate to senior fisheries managers that Government does have a key role in ensuring that the benefits from fisheries are realised, and that this includes economic benefits. They will learn about the application of a wide range of tools available to achieve this.
Other than the FH masterclass series of training courses there is almost a total absence of an opportunity for fisheries managers to be introduced to contemporary fisheries management approaches, including bioeconomic analysis. The recent AFMF workshop on small scale fisheries management held in Adelaide was an exception, and demonstrated the use and value of an interactive forum to increase the understanding and uptake of new concepts in fisheries management.
1. Increased dialogue and establishment of networks of fisheries managers engaged in policy and fisheries management planning involving economic analysis and considerations
2. Fisheries managers are aware of the developments in fisheries economics and bioeconomic modelling, including success stories from the FH suite of projects.
3. Exposure of fisheries managers to international innovations in fisheries economics

A bio-economic workshop for fisheries managers was held to discuss the importance of economic objectives and the role of government and industry in attaining those objectives.
Participants learnt how economic analyses, such as bio-economics, can identify management changes that can improve fishery yield. Furthermore, participants heard how the use of economic analyses and bio-economics has increased profitability in the Shark Bay Prawn trawl and Western Australian rock lobster fisheries respectively.

As part of the activities of the FRDC 2008/306 Building Economic Capability in Fisheries Project an online survey of professional training needs in fisheries economics of 56 managers, industry representatives, and researchers within the seafood industry was conducted. Results of this survey indicate a high level of demand (100% of respondents) for short course training in fisheries economics. The highest level of interest was for a basic introductory course in fisheries economics of 1-2 days duration. Interest was also high in web-based modes of delivery.
Based on this feedback the initial round of Master Classes were developed in conjunction with the Seafood CRC. Results of the evaluation of these classes indicated that past participants will be recommending the class to others. The following organisations also expressed interest in dedicated Master Classes; AFMA; DPI Victoria; Dept. of Fisheries WA; and SA Rock Lobster Advisory Council (SARLAC) and could be approached individually to ascertain possible enrolments.
Ongoing demand for such training opportunities was also highlighted in the review of the project undertaken by Ian Cartwright as part of the Legacy from Future Harvest review, where it was concluded the initial offering be revised and extended. This work was initially presented and approved as an extension to Seafood CRC Project 2010-714 ‘The Future Harvest Master Class’ but subsequently has required a separate project application.
1. To revise/extend the existing face-to-face Masterclass materials/resources
2. To develop an online version of the Masterclass
3. To develop a strategy for marketing, delivery and funding of the Masterclass
