The Southern Squid Jig Fishery (SSJF) is a small fishery for arrow squid that operates in south eastern waters, primarily off the coasts of Victoria and Tasmania.
As we interpret the brief, the essence of this project is to find a means to restore the SSJF to sustainable economic viability. The problems facing this industry are becoming increasingly common in the agrifood sector and have been brought about by a culmination of factors as outlined below:
1. The increase in costs.
2. Strong competition .
3. Strong and increasing competition from imports.
4. Superior eating quality.
5. Australian consumers are not well educated about buying and preparing squid, limiting its consumption.
6. The sector has little ability to invest in innovation or process improvements due to low or negative profitability.
1. To assess the range of factors affecting the economic viability of the SSJF for arrow squid in southern Australia.
2. To canvass a broad range of practical solutions that will increase both the profitability and efficiency of the industry. These solutions should be in areas where the SSJF industry can focus efforts to improve profitability, as distinct from factors endemic to the wider fishing industry and other sectors of the economy.

In 2005 the Primary Industries Ministerial Council (PIMC) endorsed the concept of National research with Regional development and Local extension for Primary Industries.
Following advice from the Primary Industry Standing Committee (PISC) on 8th July 2009, the FRDC (and PISC agencies in SA, Vic., and Tas.) was tasked to undertake initial contributions toward a national research, development and extension framework for the fisheries and aquaculture industries. The development of the RDE framework for the fisheries and aquaculture industries will be undertaken in 7 successive stages:
1. Sector Overview
2. Current Sector Resource Analysis
3. Future Strategic RD&E Plan
4. Capability Analysis
5. Change Plan
6. Approvals (PIMC)
7. Implementation
The FRDC has identified a Terms of Reference for this project that will contribute to addressing stages 1 and 3.
The project will undertake the sectoral overview assessment work (desk research and analyses, and stakeholder surveys) required to inform the RD&E planning process.
1. To assess and analyse the current business and operating environments for the fishing and aquaculture industries
2. To develop the scenario forecasts for the future business and operating environments for the fishing and aquaculture industries
3. To identify the R&D Strategies to form the basis for the national RD&E Plan, based on the forecasted scenarios
