Developing and implementing measures of economic efficiency in Commonwealth fisheries
Given the problems with open access resources and the effectiveness of modern fishing technology, there are few fisheries, if any, which will not be both biologically over-exploited and unprofitable unless they are managed effectively. For a fishery to be economically efficient requires setting...

The development of statistics on Australian fisheries production and gross value of production (GVP) and trade is required to meed a wide range of demands.
First: The data are extensively used by the fishing industry and by providers of services to the fishing industry in making investment decisions and in longer term planning of marketing strategies. The importance of the information provided by this project was highlighted at the 1999 Seafood Directions Conference and the FRDC Australian Fisheries Economics Statistics Workshop in 2003. Also the information is used extensively in FRDC’s publication “From Antarctica to the tropics: a snapshot of the Australian fishing industry.
Second: The existence of these data in a readily accessible form provides the basis for a range of other activities, including the setting of research priorities by fisheries managers, industry and research organizations and the selection of a research portfolio by funding agencies. The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry through ABARE, contributes to a number of international databases including databases managed by FAO and OECD. Information at the international level can be important in relation to international negotiations on issues such as transboundary fisheries, in analysing trade opportunities and threats and is essential for participating in fora such as APEC and WTO.
Third: The gross value of production for specific fisheries are used for determining research and development levies for the FRDC and for determining industry contributions to research. Because the estimates form the basis for research levies for each fishery, it is important for the system to be independent from those involved in the management and marketing processes to ensure the neutrality and integrity of the estimates.
Fourth: There are significant economies in centralising the collection, collation and dissemination of the gross value of production and trade data. In the absence of this project the workload of a range of organizations involved with fisheries management would be substantially increased.
1. To maintain and improve the data base of production, gross value of production and trade statistics for the Australian fishing industry.
2. To add a new section to AFS on valuing recreational fishing.
3. To expand the employment section of AFS.
4. To provide these data in an accessible form.

There is a need to make information on important Australian fishes available to Australian scientists, managers, policy-makers, industry, business, students and the public so they can make timely and better informed decisions on matters concerning fish.
Increasingly, there is a need to quickly access information from outside Australia to assist in understanding Australian fishes eg. obtaining information on a fish stock Australia shares with another country, or a new fish resource that already has a history in another country. The most efficient way of doing this is via a centralised database containing information on fishes world-wide.
The work on FISHBASE forms part of a world-wide initiative facilitated by FAO and ICLARM to make technical information for fisheries resources more widely accessible to scientists and other users of the information. Australia makes considerable resources available to these organisations, and has a high profile and good reputation in international fisheries fora. The provision of Australian information into FISHBASE will profoundly enhance FISHBASE and is likely to engender greater use and success of the product; this will undoubtably be viewed favourably by international agencies.
1. To provide a useful, up-to-date, national and international database of species biology, ecology and management for the commercially-important fish in Australia (about 70 species according to the 'Australian Fisheries Resources’ publication).

Statistics on Australian fisheries production and trade seeks to meet the needs of the fishing and aquaculture industry, fisheries managers, policymakers and researchers. It can assist in policy decisions, industry marketing strategies and the allocation of research funding or priorities. The gross value of production for specific fisheries are used for determining the research and development levies collected by government.
The neutrality and integrity of GVP estimates is therefore important due to their forming the basis for research levies for each fishery. At the international level, the Department of Agriculture through the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) contributes to a number of international databases. These include databases managed by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Information at the international level can assist in international negotiations on issues such as trans-boundary fisheries and analysis of trade opportunities.
