Seafood CRC: value adding to the school prawn industry: Clarence River case study
School prawns (Metapenaeus macleayi) are marine and estuarine prawns found along the east coast of Australia, between southern Queensland and eastern Victoria. Given that school prawns are low to medium priced, there is significant opportunity to increase the margin for this species by value adding....

Seafood CRC: optimising business structures and fisheries management systems for key fisheries
Project number:

The main causes of these major DECLINES IN FISHERY PERFORMANCE are substantial decreases in real prices (prawns, abalone), large increases in costs (all sectors) and, in a few cases, significant reductions in stock size and productivity (rock lobster).
In many fisheries major improvements in economic performance will only be achieved through MAJOR AND INTEGRATED CHANGES in operational procedures, business structures and resource management systems.
Inertia and active to resistance to change, within both government and industry, currently impede the implementation of the CULTURAL SHIFT that is required to revive the CRC’s ecologically-sustainable, but FINANCIALLY-CHALLENGED fisheries.
Major, integrated changes and cultural shifts require a clearly articulated VISION FOR THE FUTURE.
Convincing vision statements require EVIDENCE.
This project will provide the information that is needed for industry and government to develop the joint VISION STATEMENTS that are required to chart a clear pathway to a more profitable future for each selected CRC fishery.
Critical INFORMATION NEEDED TO UNDERPIN EACH VISION STATEMENT that this project will provide includes:
1. Objective assessments of the key FACTORS LIMITING FISHERY PERFORMANCE;
2. Comprehensive evaluations of the OPTIONS FOR INCREASING PROFITABILITY;
3. Clear advice about the COMPLEX AND INTER-RELATED CHANGES TO operational procedures, business structures and resource management systems that are required ACHIEVE MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS IN FISHERY PERFORMANCE;
4. A clear PATHWAY TO ADOPTION that recognises the inertia and resistance to change within government and industry that must be overcome for these MAJOR AND INTEGRATED CHANGES to be implemented.
1. Assess the performance and identify impediments to wealth creation in selected CRC fisheries
2. Describe and evaluate innovative systems that have been established to improve the performance of successful fisheries worldwide.
3. Identify practical opportunities for overcoming impediments to wealth creation and improving the performance of selected CRC fisheries.

There is currently an estimated economic gap (lost profit) in the CRC participant fisheries of approximately 40% or $200 million per annum.. If the economic gap could be halved from 40% to 20% the profitability of CRC fisheries would be improved by approximately $100 million. This project aimed to contribute to that outcome by identifying practical opportunities to improve their economic performance. This will be done by:
- Identifying key impediments to wealth creation (i.e. factors contributing to high costs and low revenue) in selected CRC fisheries.
- Describing the innovative operational procedures, business structures and fisheries management systems that have been established to improve the economic performance of successful fisheries worldwide.
- Identifying practical opportunities to improve the economic performance of CRC fisheries and outlining a pathway to adoption.
Therefore, this project aimed to:
- Assess the performance and identify impediments to wealth creation in selected CRC fisheries.
- Describe and evaluate innovative systems that have been established to improve the performance of successful fisheries worldwide.
- Identify practical opportunities for overcoming impediments to wealth creation and improving the performance of selected CRC fisheries

Seafood CRC: bio-economic model for SA prawn trawl fisheries
In recent years Australian wild catch prawn fisheries have had to compete with increasing volumes of cheaper, aquacultured imports. This has resulted in reductions in prawn prices and reduced profitability for prawn fisheries. Historically, the primary focus of management for these fisheries has...

Maximise yield or minimise risk in the Blacklip Abalone fishery: using biological data to direct harvest strategies
The primary goal of this research was to identify attributes of the seasonal biology of Blacklip Abalone (Haliotis rubra; hereafter referred to as Blacklip) that may be beneficial for optimising fishing strategies. The optimum months to harvest Blacklip to maximise yield were identified using a...
