Monitoring and assessment of management policies in the northern prawn fishery
The northern prawn fishery has been subject to management since the early 1970s in an attempt to control the expansion of effort and prevent the overexploitation of the resource. Many of the management policies developed over this period have proved to be ineffective in controlling effort. Moreover,...

Assessing the effectiveness of the Southern Bluefin Tuna management scheme and its effect on those involved in the industry at the time of its introduction
Individual transferable catch quotas (ITQs) were allocated to fishermen in the Australian southern bluefin tuna fishery in 1984. The profitability of the industry increased substantially as a result. This is despite the total Australian catch being halved between 1984 and 1987 due to a decline in...

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.
