Determination of Australian fisheries statistics 1994-95 to 1996-97
Final report
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.
