Increasing demands on public funds have led to calls from governments and industry for greater accountability in research expenditures and hence a need for a systematic evaluation of the benefits from research.
The underlying rationale for government involvement in supporting fisheries research and development has been the presence of 'market failure' in research investment. That is, because individuals or private companies may not be able to gain most of the benefits of a successful research outcome, they will underinvest in research and development relative to the level that would maximise the net benefits to society.
A major objective in this study is to demonstrate the types and possible magnitudes of economic benefits that have been generated from selected research projects funded by the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation ( or its predecessor the Fishing Industry Research and Development Council) over the past decade.
Another objective is to provide feedback on the process of evaluating the benefits and costs of fisheries research and development after the findings of the research have been implemented.

Assessment of seal fishery interactions in the South East Trawl Fishery (SETF) and the development of fishing practices and seal exclusion devices (SEDs) in the winter blue grenadier fishery to mitigate seal bycatch by SETF trawlers
Introducing a Code of Fishing Practice aimed at avoiding seals appeared to halve the incidence of seal bycatch in this fishery. In SED trials, the problems of fish-loss via the SED escape hatch and net blockage via the SED grid were solved by changes in SED design. Although the effectiveness of most...

Byproduct: Catch, economics and co-occurrence in Australias longline fisheries
The longline sector of the Eastern Tuna and Billfish Fishery (ETBF) and the Southern and Western Tuna and Billfish Fishery (SWTBF) target four main species and incidentally take over 80 other species as “bycatch”. Significant amounts of these species are often retained for sale, and...

This project was undertaken to maintain and develop the collection of industry production, value of production and trade data. These are the only collated, published source of information on commercial industry catches and are used for a wide range of purposes , including determination of Commonwealth allocations for fisheries research funding, industry levies and for addressing a wide range of the information needs of both Government and industry.
Since the project's commencement in 1995 there has been an increased focus on developing the statistics to better meet the information needs of all users. In February 1997, the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation convened the Australian Fisheries Economic Statistics Workshop in Canberra to review the best means of addressing these needs. At this Workshop there was strong support for the approaches adopted in Australian Fisheries Statistics and the form in which it was published. However, there was agreement on the need to address a number of areas where statistics were either not available or were not of the robustness required.
