Since 1991 Australian fisheries statistics has presented annual updates of fisheries production and trade data. The report is an important source of information for the fishing and aquaculture industry, fisheries managers, policymakers and researchers. Estimates of the gross value of production provided in the report are used for a range of purposes; for example, to determine Commonwealth, state and territory fisheries research funding arrangements each year.

This report contains data on the volume and value of production from state and Commonwealth commercial fisheries, and on the volume and value of Australian fisheries trade, by destination, source and product. Profiles of Commonwealth and state commercial fisheries and state aquaculture for 2009–10 and 2010–11 are also provided. These profiles cover selected species, fishing methods and number of licence holders. Information on the recreational fishing sector and Indigenous fishing sector is also included.

Australian fisheries statistics is part of a suite of ABARES publications that provide a comprehensive account of historical trends in, and the outlook for, Australian fisheries. Australian commodity statistics presents series of production and trade statistics for fisheries, and a range of other commodities. Forecasts for major fisheries commodities are updated each quarter in Agricultural commodities. The annual Australian fisheries survey report presents detailed analysis of the economic performance of selected Commonwealth fisheries. An assessment of the economic performance of fisheries managed by the Australian Fisheries Management Authority is provided in the annual Fishery status reports. Status of key Australian fish stocks reports 2012 is available at fish.gov.au.

Fast factsIn 2010–11• The gross value of Australian fisheries production increased by 2 per cent to

$2.23 billion (Table 1).• Tasmania accounted for the largest share of gross value of production (27 per cent),

followed by South Australia (19 per cent) and Western Australia (18 per cent). Commonwealth fisheries accounted for 14 per cent of gross value of production.

• The gross value of aquaculture production (including southern bluefin tuna wild-catch input to the South Australian tuna farming sector) increased by $70.5 million to $948.1 million, and accounted for 43 per cent of the gross value of Australian fisheries production. The volume of aquaculture production increased by 2 per cent to 75 188 tonnes, accounting for 32 per cent of total Australian fisheries production.

• The value of farmed salmonids rose by 11 per cent to $408.8 million. Farmed salmonids continue to be the largest aquaculture species group produced, and also the most valuable fisheries product in Australia. Salmonids accounted for 43 per cent of the total value of Australian aquaculture production and 18 per cent of the total value of fisheries production.

• In volume terms, Australian fisheries production decreased by 4 per cent (9079 tonnes) to 234 164 tonnes (Table 5).

• The largest quantity of any species produced was the Australian sardine. However, Australian sardines were a relatively low value product.

• The value of production for the wild-catch sector declined by 2 per cent to $1.31 billion, while production volume decreased by 6 per cent to 162 762 tonnes.

From 2000–01 to 2010–11• The total annual volume of fisheries production increased by 2582 tonnes

(1 per cent), while the annual real gross value of production fell by $1.04 billion (47 per cent).

• The majority of the decline in value occurred from 2000–01 to 2004–05. From 2004–05 to 2010–11, the real gross value of production decreased by 10 per cent, representing a slowing in the rate of decline.

Production

• Driving the fall in production value was the decline in the gross value of production of tuna, prawns, rocklobster and abalone. The combined value of these four species groups fell by 50 per cent in real terms over this period, with their combined contribution to total Australian fisheries production falling from 62 per cent to 46 per cent.

Production by species groupThe gross volume and value of Australian fisheries production by species group are presented in tables 3 to 5. Production and value summaries are also presented for the wild-catch sector (Table 2), individual jurisdictions (tables 7 to 14) and the aquaculture sector (tables 15 to 17).

The volume of Australian fisheries production varied over the period 2000–01 to 2010–11 (Figure 1). The total volume of production increased from 231 582 tonnes in 2000–01 to 275 972 tonnes in 2003–04, and peaked at 279 099 tonnes in 2004–05. After falling considerably in 2005–06, the volume of Australian fisheries production has declined gradually at a rate of 1 per cent on average from 2006–07 to 2008–09, reaching 237 554 tonnes in 2008–09. In 2009–10 the volume of Australian fisheries production improved, increasing by 2 per cent (5689 tonnes) compared with 2008–09. However, production volume fell again in 2010–11 by 4 per cent (9079 tonnes) to 234 164 tonnes.

Australian sardine accounted for the highest individual catch by volume in 2010–11 (38 176 tonnes, accounting for 16 per cent), followed by salmonids (35 377 tonnes, 15 per cent), prawns (26 866 tonnes, 11 per cent), oysters (13 951 tonnes, 6 per cent) and tuna (9 133 tonnes, 4 per cent).

Since 2000–01 the real gross value of Australian fisheries production fell by 32 per cent to $2.2 billion in 2010–11 (Figure 2). This was primarily driven by declines in the production values of crustaceans and molluscs, which fell by 43 per cent ($576 million) and 40 per cent ($300 million), respectively. The production value of finfish also fell in real terms, but by a lesser amount, $137 million or 12 per cent over the same period.

At the species group level, the decline in real value was largely driven by decreases in the value of rocklobster, prawns, abalone and tuna (Figure 3). The combined value of these species groups halved in real terms from $2.04 billion in 2000–01 to $1.02 billion in 2010–11. This represents a decline of $1.02 billion in the real value of those species groups over the period. From 2004–05 the decline in total value was partially offset by a significant increase in the value of salmonids production, which increased at an average rate of 16 per cent a year, to reach $409 million in 2010–11.

The declining values of key species groups have been driven by falls in unit prices, with the exception of rocklobster (Figure 4). Since production of these species is export-oriented, prices are strongly influenced by exchange rate movements. The strength of the Australian dollar against the currencies of major trading partners, particularly the United States and Japan, has reduced the competitiveness of Australian fisheries exports in recent years (Box 1). Prices for rocklobster have been increasing since 2003–04 despite exchange rate movements, owing to increased demand on international markets and lower supply from key producers.

Production

Box 1 Gross value of fisheries productionGross value of production is a useful measure that provides industry and policymakers with information about gross income generated from the harvest of stocks, within fisheries and across jurisdictions. These values also provide an estimate of the activity level, in value terms, of fisheries and relative value of harvest across species.

The use of gross value of production as a measure of the production value of Australian fisheries in official statistics began in the early 1900s; it is a measure of the value of fisheries production generated by commercial fishers or produced by aquaculture farmers. The publication of official gross value of production statistics for Australian fisheries, by jurisdiction and at a national level, was undertaken by the Australian Bureau of Statistics from 1935 to the late 1980s (CBCS 1936, ABS 1989). The Australian Bureau of Statistics no longer publishes fisheries statistics. Since the early 1990s ABARES has produced Australian fisheries statistics. This publication presents statistics on the value of production of fisheries products for each Australian fishery jurisdiction, using data provided by each state/territory jurisdiction. Information on the international trade in fisheries products is drawn from data provided by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

The gross value of production is calculated by multiplying the weight of production by the landed unit value. The landed unit value is defined as the beach price for fish species caught in wild-catch fisheries and the farm-gate price for fisheries products produced in aquaculture establishments. When defined this way these prices broadly reflect the unit prices that fishers receive for their catch or aquaculture farmers receive for their production. The unit landed value does not include any margins associated with the marketing (including freight) and services added when seafood is processed and onsold. The use of landed value (beach price) in the derivation of gross value of production is common across Commonwealth and state jurisdictions.

Price data can be derived from a range of sources, including fishers and aquaculture farm operators, seafood markets and seafood buyers and processors. For some states, the values are collected by the fisheries management authority, while other states depend on information provided by a relatively small sample of buyers. As most fish is sold on a market away from the point of landing or aquaculture farm gate, it is usually necessary to subtract transport and marketing margins to estimate the beach/farm-gate price received by commercial fishers and aquaculture farmers respectively.

To value production at the point of landing, whole weight equivalents for each species being valued in the gross value of production calculation are used. By valuing production in whole weight equivalents, comparisons across regions and species are possible as the valuation basis is the same. Whole weight equivalents for semi-processed fish are obtained by applying conversions factors for each species where production is not landed whole, but in a semi-processed state, for example gutted, headed and gutted, or otherwise reduced condition.

Production

The product composition of the gross value of production of Australian fisheries has not changed substantially since 2006-07. The top five species groups (by value) still comprise rocklobster, prawn, salmonids, abalone and tuna. Rocklobster has frequently ranked as Australia’s most valuable species group over the past decade. However, salmonids was Australia’s most valuable species group in 2010–11, at $409 million, representing 18 per cent of the total gross value of fisheries production. This was followed by rocklobster ($390 million, 17 per cent), prawns ($305 million, 14 per cent), abalone ($178 million, 8 per cent) and tuna ($150 million, 7 per cent) (Figure 5).

Production

Box 2 Exchange rates and unit valueAs a small producer and exporter of fisheries products, prices Australian producers receive are generally set on world markets in foreign currencies. If all other things are equal, a depreciating Australian dollar results in producers receiving a higher export price in Australian dollar terms, while an appreciating Australian dollar results in a lower export price.

The strong appreciations of the Australian dollar over the last decade have made exports less competitive while simultaneously increasing the appeal of imports to domestic consumers. From 2001–02, the Australian dollar appreciated against both the US dollar and the Japanese yen, causing Australian export prices to fall. From 2001–02 to 2007–08, the Australian dollar appreciated by 71 per cent against the US dollar and 50 per cent against the Japanese yen (Figure 6). However, a depreciation of the Australian dollar against these currencies in 2008–09 (24 per cent against the Japanese yen and 16 per cent against the US dollar) increased Australian export unit values in that year. Since then the Australian dollar has appreciated against these currencies, by 32 per cent against the US dollar and 4 per cent against the Japanese yen, decreasing export unit values.

Production

Rocklobster

Key jurisdictions: Western Australia (wc), South Australia (wc) and Tasmania (wc)In 2010–11 the value of rocklobster production, including Queensland bugs, increased by 2 per cent ($8.5 million) to $389.8 million, driven by a 5 per cent increase in the average unit value of rocklobster production. The two key species of rocklobster caught in Australia, western rocklobster and southern rocklobster are harvested mainly from Western Australia, South Australia and Tasmania.

In volume terms, rocklobster production fell marginally, by 260 tonnes, to 9888 tonnes in 2010–11. This was the result of lower production volumes in Western Australia, Queensland and Tasmania, which collectively accounted for 72 per cent of the total volume of rocklobster and Queensland bug production in Australia in 2010–11. Compared with 2009–10, the combined rocklobster and Queensland bug production from these three states fell by 10 per cent (823 tonnes) to 7106 tonnes in 2010–11. This fall was partially offset by an increase in southern rocklobster and tropical rocklobster production in South Australia and the Commonwealth, which rose by 530 tonnes in 2010–11.

Western rocklobster has historically accounted for a larger share (about 60 per cent on average) of the total value of Australian rocklobster production, while southern rocklobster has generally accounted for over 30 per cent. However, since 2003–04 the relative share of western rocklobster in value terms has declined compared with southern rocklobster. The share of western rocklobster in value terms fell from 65 per cent in 2003–04 to 47 per cent in 2010–11. By contrast, the share in value terms of southern rocklobster increased from 30 per cent to 40 per cent over the same period.

Between 2009–10 and 2010–11 catches of western rocklobster declined significantly, by 12 per cent (700 tonnes). Despite the fall in production, the value of production remained stable at $184 million because of a 13 per cent increase in the average beach price. Southern rocklobster catch remained relatively stable at 3132 tonnes. Combined with a 6 per cent decrease in its average beach price, this resulted in the value of southern rocklobster production falling by 6 per cent ($9.6 million) in 2010–11. Production of southern rocklobster and western rocklobster contributed $156.2 million and $184.3 million, respectively, to the total value of Australian rocklobster production in 2010–11.

Salmonids

Key jurisdictions: Tasmania (aq)Since Atlantic salmon farming in Australia began in the mid-1980s, salmon production has increased significantly. Production of Australian salmonids (mainly Atlantic salmon and a small portion of trout) increased by 141 per cent, from 14 673 tonnes in 2000–01 to 35 377 tonnes in 2010–11; this was largely due to the strong growth of production in Tasmania, which accounted for over 90 per cent of Australia’s salmonids production over this period. In 2010–11 Australian salmonids production increased by 11 per cent (3412 tonnes) compared with 2009–10, and surpassed rocklobster to be Australia’s most valuable species group.

In 2010–11 Tasmania accounted for 34 229 tonnes, 97 per cent of Australian total salmonids production. The remaining 1147 tonnes were produced in New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia.

Production

The value of salmonids production rose by 11 per cent ($39 million) in 2010–11 to $408.8 million. This increase was mainly driven by an 11 per cent ($38.4 million) increase in the value of Tasmanian salmonids production, with Tasmania’s total production accounting for 98 per cent of the total value.

Tasmanian producers supply most of their salmonids to the domestic market. A key factor contributing to the rapid growth in recent years has been a focus on marketing salmon to Australian consumers. Growth has also been supported by research and development, which has allowed the sector to adopt improved feeding techniques and apply better disease control measures.

Prawns

Key jurisdictions: Queensland (aq, wc), Western Australia (wc), South Australia (wc) and Commonwealth (wc)In 2010–11 the gross value of total Australian prawn production fell by 6 per cent ($19.7 million) to $304.8 million, following a 25 per cent (1310 tonnes) decrease in the volume of aquaculture prawn production. This was primarily driven by a 1293 tonnes fall in Queensland production, which makes up 96 per cent of all aquaculture prawn production and 14 per cent of total prawn production in Australia.

By contrast, the production volume of wild-caught prawns increased by 4 per cent (922 tonnes) to 22 896 tonnes in 2010–11. Despite this, the total value of wild-caught prawns fell by 1 per cent ($1.6 million) to $247.5 million. This was mainly the result of a 5 per cent drop in the average unit value of Australian wild-caught prawns.

The largest production value decrease for wild-caught prawns came from falls in the value of king prawn production in Queensland and New South Wales, declining by 39 per cent ($18.4 million) and 13 per cent ($1.3 million), respectively. These falls were primarily driven by declines in the volume of king prawn production in the two states.

Abalone

Key jurisdictions: Victoria (wc), South Australia (aq, wc) and Tasmania (aq, wc)In 2010–11 the volume of wild-catch and aquaculture abalone production increased by 5 per cent, from 4982 tonnes in 2009–10 to 5229 tonnes. The value of abalone production also rose, by 3 per cent ($4.9 million) to $178.3 million, with the production value of both wild-caught abalone increasing by $3.9 million and aquaculture abalone by $0.9 million.

Most of the increase in abalone production in 2010–11 occurred in Tasmania (predominantly greenlip and blacklip abalone), which rose by 10 per cent (262 tonnes) in volume terms and accounted for 55 per cent of Australia’s total volume of abalone production. In value terms, Tasmanian abalone production remained relatively constant at $102.6 million.

Over 60 per cent of abalone is exported, mostly to Hong Kong, China and Japan. From 2000–01 to 2010–11, following the appreciation of the Australian dollar, abalone average unit prices fell by 47 per cent in real terms. As a result, the total value of production, excluding Victorian aquaculture abalone, decreased by 51 per cent in real terms ($188.6 million) over this period. Aquaculture abalone production in Victoria is confidential for 2009–10 and 2010–11 owing to the limited number of operators.

Production

Tuna

Key jurisdictions: South Australia (aq) and Commonwealth (wc)In 2010–11 the Eastern Tuna and Billfish Fishery and the Southern Bluefin Tuna Fishery accounted for 55 per cent and 41 per cent, respectively, of the total Commonwealth tuna production volume. Production volume declined by 17 per cent (1821 tonnes) to 9 133 tonnes. Lower volumes of wild-catch and aquaculture tuna production contributed to the decline in production. In 2010–11 the volume of wild-catch tuna production fell by 6 per cent, while aquaculture production fell by 20 per cent compared with 2009–10. As a result of cuts in the global total allowable catch for southern bluefin tuna, farm production decreased by 5 per cent in volume terms between 2009–10 and 2010–11; the production volume of the Eastern Tuna and Billfish Fishery also decreased by 9 per cent.

In 2010–11 the value of tuna production increased by 19 per cent ($24.4 million) to $149.7 million, excluding southern bluefin tuna wild-catch input to the South Australian tuna farming sector. Of this, $125 million (84 per cent) of the total value of tuna production was attributable to southern bluefin tuna, excluding southern bluefin tuna wild-catch input to the South Australian tuna farming sector. In the same year, 21 per cent of the total value of production was produced by the Eastern Tuna and Billfish Fishery. Yellowfin tuna was the principal species caught in this fishery, accounting for 54 per cent of the total value of production in the fishery.

The value of wild-caught tuna production rose by 22 per cent ($9.7 million) to $54 million in 2010–11, mainly due to the increased average unit value of wild-caught tuna in the Southern Bluefin Tuna Fishery. In 2010–11 the estimated average unit value of tuna caught in the Southern Bluefin Tuna Fishery increased by 33 per cent, increasing its value by 26 per cent ($6.3 million).

The value of farmed tuna (solely southern bluefin tuna) increased by 22 per cent ($23 million) to $125 million. In 2010–11 farmed tuna accounted for the increasing value of Australian tuna production, at around 84 per cent compared with around 82 per cent in 2009–10.

Approximately three-quarters of Australia’s tuna production is exported, mostly to the Japanese sashimi market and the United States, but increasingly to Thailand and the South Pacific. The principal tuna species in value and volume terms is southern bluefin tuna, which is caught from Commonwealth waters using purse seine methods and then fattened in farms near Port Lincoln, in South Australia.

Tuna prices depend on the exchange rate between the Australian dollar and the Japanese yen, demand from the Japanese market and global tuna production. Other important export tuna species are yellowfin tuna, bigeye tuna and, more recently albacore, all of which are caught predominantly in the Commonwealth Eastern Tuna and Billfish Fishery. The Australian dollar depreciated slightly (3 per cent) against the yen in 2010–11, but remained substantially higher (27 per cent) than the 2000–01 level, a historical peak year for the value of tuna production. The price of tuna increased in 2010–11 mainly because changes in fishing conditions in the Western and Central Pacific resulted in lower catches and a decrease in world supply of tuna. A slight depreciation of the Australian dollar against the yen also contributed to higher tuna prices.

Production

Production by jurisdictionThe gross volume and value of Australian fisheries production by jurisdiction and location of catch is given in tables 3 to 6. Production and value summaries for each jurisdiction are given in tables 7 to 14.

In 2010–11 Tasmania had the largest gross value of production ($596.7 million), accounting for 27 per cent of total fisheries production, followed by South Australia ($424.1 million, 19 per cent) and Western Australia ($397 million, 18 per cent) (Figure 7). Commonwealth-managed fisheries accounted for 14 per cent ($320.4 million) of the gross value of production.

A substantial shift in the contribution of individual state fishery production to total Australian fisheries production has been evident in recent years (Figure 7). Tasmania’s share of Australian fisheries gross value of production more than doubled from 12 per cent in 2000–01 to 27 per cent in 2010–11. By contrast, Western Australia’s share declined from 23 per cent to 18 per cent over the same period, reflecting declines in both wild-caught and aquaculture production. The share of Commonwealth fisheries production also fell from 19 per cent to 14 per cent.

New South Wales (Table 7)

Key species groups: oysters (aq), prawns (wc), sea mullet (wc) and rocklobster (wc)In 2010–11 the gross value of New South Wales fisheries production was $123.5 million, of which the wild-catch sector accounted for $75.4 million or 61 per cent (Table 7). The aquaculture sector, which was valued at $48.1 million, accounted for 39 per cent. Compared with 2009–10, the gross value of fisheries production declined by 7 per cent ($9.6 million) in 2010–11, following a 15 per cent decrease in production volumes, which fell to 18 148 tonnes (from 21 447 tonnes in 2009–10).

In 2010–11 the New South Wales wild-catch sector produced 13 479 tonnes of seafood, a decrease of 14 per cent (2252 tonnes) compared with 2009–10. The decline in wild-catch production drove a decline in the value of wild-catch production, which fell by 7 per cent ($5.3 million).

The most valuable wild-caught fisheries product in New South Wales is prawns. On average, it has accounted for around 20 per cent of the total value of wild-catch production in the five years up to 2010–11. In 2010–11 the sector harvested 1399 tonnes of prawns, worth $14.6 million. School prawns often comprised a large proportion of the catch, accounting for 66 per cent (920 tonnes) of the total volume of production of wild-caught prawns in 2010–11, and contributing $5.8 million to the total value of production of the wild-catch sector. King prawns accounted for a smaller proportion of the catch (32 per cent or 451 tonnes), but contributed about $8.6 million.


13

Production

The New South Wales wild-catch sector also comprised a wide range of finfish species in 2010–11, including sea mullet (3046 tonnes, valued at $7.6 million), eastern school whiting (1222 tonnes, $3.2 million), bream (321 tonnes, $3.5 million), snapper (287 tonnes, $2.8 million) and Australian salmon (789 tonnes, $1.0 million). The volume of production of wild-caught finfish decreased by 16 per cent (2102 tonnes) to 11 132 tonnes compared with 2009–10. This was a result of decreases in the production volume for most finfish species. As a result, the value of wild-caught finfish decreased by 11 per cent ($4.9 million) to $41.8 million in 2010–11 despite a 6 per cent increase in the average unit value.

The New South Wales aquaculture sector produced 4669 tonnes of seafood in 2010–11, a decrease of 18 per cent (1047 tonnes) compared with 2009–10. This decrease was largely driven by an 22 per cent (1077 tonnes) decrease in the volume of edible oyster production to 3883 tonnes. Compared with 2009–10, the value of farmed oyster production fell by $4.7 million (11 per cent). By contrast, the value of farmed finfish production increased by $0.7 million (15 per cent) to $5.7 million in 2010–11 compared with 2009–10. This was the result of an 8 per cent increase in the average unit value. Overall, the value of aquaculture production fell by 8 per cent ($4.3 million) to $48.1 million in 2010–11.

Other aquaculture products included prawns (148 tonnes, valued at $1.7 million), mussels (29 tonnes, $0.2 million) and yabbies (19 tonnes, $0.2 million). In 2010–11 these products combined accounted for 4 per cent of the total volume and total value of New South Wales aquaculture production.

Victoria (Table 8)

Key species groups: abalone (aq, wc), southern rocklobster (wc) and trout (aq)In 2010–11 the gross value of Victorian fisheries production was estimated to be $68.4 million. The wild-catch sector, valued at $50.7 million, accounted for 74 per cent of this total value (Table 8). Accounting for the remaining 26 per cent is the aquaculture sector, valued at $17.7 million. Compared with 2009–10, the gross value of fisheries production rose by 5 per cent ($3.1 million) in 2010–11, following a 22 per cent (1479 tonnes) increase in the total volume of production.

The Victorian wild-catch sector produced 5557 tonnes of seafood in 2010–11, with a production value of $50.7 million. This was $3 million (6 per cent) higher than 2009–10, largely due to a 9 per cent ($2 million) increase in the production value of wild-caught abalone. Production of southern rocklobster, a key wild-caught species, increased by 9 per cent (26 tonnes) to 300 tonnes in 2010–11, and valued at $15.4 million. Other key products in the wild-catch sector included King George whiting, valued at $2.7 million or 5 per cent of wild-catch production, Australian sardine ($1.6 million, 3 per cent), prawns ($0.9 million, 2 per cent) and squid ($0.8 million, 2 per cent).

The value of Victorian aquaculture production remained relatively stable at $17.7 million in 2010–11. Abalone accounted for a large proportion of Victorian aquaculture production in value terms over the last five years. However, due to confidentiality restrictions, individual species values for 2009–10 and 2010–11 are not reported. The second highest valued aquaculture species group was salmonids, contributing 33 per cent ($5.9 million) to total Victorian aquaculture production value in 2010–11. Compared with 2009–10, the volume of salmonids production rose by 13 per cent (111 tonnes) to 968 tonnes in 2010–11. The volume of mussel production also increased in 2010–11, by 68 per cent (384 tonnes), valued at $3.9 million.

Production

Queensland (Table 9)

Key species groups: prawns (aq, wc), coral trout (wc), crabs (wc) and barramundi (aq)The gross value of Queensland fisheries production decreased by 16 per cent ($50.9 million) in 2010–11 to $270.9 million; wild-catch production accounted for $188.5 million, or 70 per cent, of this value. The aquaculture sector made up the remaining $82.5 million, or 30 per cent. In volume terms, total fisheries production in Queensland also decreased, by 17 per cent (5737 tonnes), to 28 016 tonnes (Table 9).

In 2010–11 the Queensland wild-catch sector produced 21 112 tonnes of seafood, a decrease of 19 per cent (4810 tonnes) compared with 2009–10. This decrease was largely due to decreases in the volume of wild-caught prawns and scallops, which accounted for 27 per cent (5792 tonnes) and 5 per cent (1115 tonnes) of total wild-catch production, respectively. In 2010–11 the volume of wild-caught prawn production dropped by 19 per cent (1332 tonnes), mostly due to a 39 per cent (1435 tonnes) decrease in king prawn production, compared with 2009–10. Scallop production also decreased, by 63 per cent (1876 tonnes) compared with 2009–10.

In 2010–11 Queensland’s wild-catch production value decreased by $34 million to $188.5 million. This was mainly attributed to a decrease in the production value of prawns, scallops, coral trout and tropical snapper. Together, they accounted for 88 per cent ($29.9 million) of the total fall in the value of wild-catch production. The largest fall in production value was for king prawns, by 39 per cent ($18.4 million), resulting from the 39 percent drop in its volume of production. Also matching its percentage fall in production volume was the value of scallop production, falling by 63 per cent ($6.6 million). Declines in the production values of coral trout ($4.7 million) and tropical snapper ($2.1 million) also contributed to the decrease in wild-catch production value. In contrast, wild-caught banana prawns and barramundi increased in value, by 51 per cent ($3.4 million) and 28 per cent ($2.6 million).

Aquaculture production in Queensland declined by 12 per cent (927 tonnes) in 2010–11 to 6904 tonnes, of which farmed prawns accounted for 55 per cent and farmed barramundi, 40 per cent. In value terms, aquaculture production declined by 17 per cent ($16.9 million) to $82.5 million, mainly because of a significant reduction in production of aquaculture prawns. Lower production volume in 2010–11 resulted in the value of aquaculture prawn production decreasing by 24 per cent ($17.4 million) to $55.6 million. Prawn production represented 67 per cent of the total value of aquaculture production in Queensland in 2010–11. The value of farmed barramundi increased slightly by $0.5 million to $21.2 million, while the volume of production was 354 tonnes (15 per cent) higher than in 2009–10 at 2764 tonnes. Other key products in the Queensland aquaculture sector in 2010–11 included silver perch, Barcoo grunter, redclaw crayfish, oysters and aquarium fish. Together, these products contributed $3.5 million (4 per cent) to the total value of Queensland’s aquaculture sector.

South Australia (Table 10)

Key species groups: southern bluefin tuna (aq), southern rocklobster (wc), prawns (wc), abalone (wc) and oysters (aq)The gross value of fisheries production in South Australia rose by 8 per cent ($31.1 million) to $424.1 million between 2009–10 and 2010–11. The aquaculture sector accounted for the largest proportion of this value, making up $228.6 million (54 per cent) of the state’s total production value. Wild-catch production was


15

Production

valued lower, at $195.4 million, accounting for the remaining 46 per cent of the state’s total fisheries value. However, the total production volume decreased by 5 per cent (3328 tonnes) to 63 379 tonnes in 2010–11.

Wild-catch production in South Australia decreased by 7 per cent (3026 tonnes) in volume terms to 43 132 tonnes. In value terms, wild-catch production fell by 2 per cent ($4 million) between 2009–10 and 2010–11, following decreases in the production values of rocklobster and Australian sardine.

The most valuable wild-caught fisheries product in South Australia is southern rocklobster, which accounted for 42 per cent of the total value of wild-catch production in the state in 2010–11. A 5 per cent decrease in the average unit value resulted in the production value of southern rocklobster falling by 5 per cent ($4.5 million) to $81.3 million in 2010–11. Similarly, Australian sardine, which constitutes around 10 per cent of total wild-catch production value, also fell. Between 2009–10 and 2010–11, the value of Australian sardine production fell by 14 per cent ($3.1 million) following a 6 per cent decrease in production volume and an 8 per cent drop in its average unit price.

By contrast, the production value of wild-caught prawns increased by 10 per cent ($3 million) in 2010–11; this was due to higher average unit values compared with 2009–10. The increase in production value of prawns helped to offset some of the declines in southern rocklobster and Australian sardine production values. In 2010–11 the production value of prawns was $34.1 million, accounting for 17 per cent of total production value in the wild-catch sector. The other key wild-caught species for South Australia were blacklip abalone and greenlip abalone, which as a group remained largely unchanged at $28 million, or 14 per cent of total wild-catch production value in 2010–11.

For aquaculture, farmed production of southern bluefin tuna makes up the major share of the production value in South Australia. Most southern bluefin tuna in Australia is caught by Commonwealth-endorsed vessels in the Great Australian Bight and delivered to aquaculture farms off Port Lincoln in South Australia for fattening. Almost all farmed southern bluefin tuna is exported to Japan. In 2010–11 the value of farmed southern bluefin tuna production rose by 22 per cent ($23 million) to $125.2 million. This followed a 54 per cent increase in the average unit value of southern bluefin tuna, which was partially due to a reduction in the southern bluefin tuna national catch allocation. In 2010–11 southern bluefin tuna accounted for 30 per cent and 55 per cent of South Australian aquaculture production volume and value, respectively.

Western Australia (Table 11)

Key species groups: western rocklobster (wc), pearls (aq) and prawns (wc)The gross value of Western Australian fisheries production was $397 million in 2010–11. Compared with 2009–10, this represents an increase of 8 per cent ($28.5 million). The total value of fisheries production in Western Australia included $284.6 million of wild-catch production, 72 per cent of the state’s total fisheries production value, and $112.5 million of aquaculture production (28 per cent), which includes pearl production. However, the total volume of fisheries production remained relatively stable at 24 038 tonnes in 2010–11.

In volume terms, wild-catch production in Western Australia totalled 22 707 tonnes in 2010–11. This consisted primarily of western rocklobster, (23 per cent or 5247 tonnes), prawns (14 per cent or 3223 tonnes) and scallop (13 per cent or 3058 tonnes). Compared with 2009–10, the total volume of Western Australian wild-catch production fell by 510 tonnes (2 per cent) in 2010–11.


16

Production

The value of Western Australian wild-catch sector rose by $12.4 million (5 per cent) between 2009–10 and 2010–11. This was mainly caused by increases in the value of prawns, scallops and abalone. In 2010–11 the production value of prawns increased by 24 per cent ($6.8 million) to $34.8 million, and the production value of wild-caught scallops increased by 64 per cent ($5.8 million) to $15 million. The value of abalone production also increased, by 10 per cent to $10.1 million, given an 11 per cent increase in its production volume. Together, these increases contributed $13.6 million to the value of Western Australian wild-catch production between 2009–10 and 2010–11. By contrast, the value of finfish species production decreased by 4 per cent ($1.4 million) to $29.9 million in 2010–11, while the most valuable wild-catch product, western rocklobster, remained relatively stable at $184.3 million.

Aquaculture production in Western Australia also increased in 2010–11 in value terms, rising by 17 per cent ($16.1 million) to $112.5 million. This rise was mainly the result of a $13.5 million increase in the value of pearls, which is the most valuable aquaculture product in the state and contributed around 88 per cent ($99.1 million) of aquaculture production value in 2010–11. The edible seafood component of Western Australia’s aquaculture sector accounted for 11 per cent of its total aquaculture production value in 2010–11, increasing from $9.5 million in 2009–10 to $12.1 million in 2010–11. This was caused by increases in the value of aquaculture fish species.

In volume terms, the aquaculture sector produced 1331 tonnes of edible seafood. Key edible aquaculture species groups produced in 2010–11 included fish (896 tonnes, valued at $8.9 million), mussels (365 tonnes, $1.4 million), marron (51 tonnes, $1.4 million) and yabby (20 tonnes, $0.4 million). These products combined accounted for 11 per cent ($12.1 million) of the total value of Western Australian aquaculture production in 2010–11.

Tasmania (Table 12)

Key species groups: salmonids (aq), abalone (wc) and southern rocklobster (wc)In 2010–11 the gross value of Tasmanian fisheries production increased by 5 per cent ($28.7 million) relative to 2009–10, to $596.7 million. The total volume of production also increased, by 1419 tonnes, to 43 545 tonnes in 2010–11. In value terms, the wild-catch sector accounted for 28 per cent ($164.9 million) of the state’s total production and the aquaculture sector accounted for the remaining 72 per cent ($431.8 million).

In volume terms, Tasmania’s wild-catch production decreased by 24 per cent (1510 tonnes) to 4662 tonnes between 2009–10 and 2010–11. Wild-catch production also decreased in value, by 6 per cent ($10.2 million), from $175.1 million in 2009–10 to $164.9 million in 2010–11, driven mainly by a decrease in the value of production of wild-caught rocklobster. Rocklobster accounted for 36 per cent ($59.5 million) of the total value of Tasmanian wild-catch production in 2010–11. The 9 per cent ($6.0 million) decrease in the value of rocklobster production, compared with 2009–10, is the result of a 2.8 per cent decrease in catch and a 6.5 per cent decrease in average unit prices. By contrast, the value of abalone production remained stable at $97 million in 2010–11, with the volume of production (2701 tonnes) accounting for 58 per cent of the total volume of Tasmanian wild-catch production.

Compared with 2009-10, Tasmanian aquaculture production increased by 2933 tonnes (8 per cent) to 38 882 tonnes in 2010–11. Salmonids accounted for, on average, 85 per cent of the total volume and 89 per cent of the total value of Tasmanian aquaculture production over the past 10 years. The volume of salmonids production rose in 2010–11 by 11 per cent (3280 tonnes) to 34 229 tonnes. This was


17

Production

equivalent to 79 per cent of the total volume of aquaculture production in Tasmania. The value of salmonids production also rose, by 11 per cent ($38.4 million) to $400.8 million in 2010–11.

Another key Tasmanian aquaculture product is edible oysters, which accounted for around 10 per cent of the state’s aquaculture production volume in 2010–11 and contributed $23.5 million (4 per cent) towards Tasmania’s gross value of production. The remainder of Tasmania’s aquaculture production consists of mussels (566 tonnes, valued at $2.0 million) and abalone (173 tonnes, $5.5 million). These two products accounted for $7.5 million (1 per cent) of Tasmania’s gross value of fisheries production in 2010–11.

Northern Territory (Table 13)

Key species groups: pearls (aq), goldband snapper (wc), Mud crab (wc), barramundi (aq, wc) and mackerel (wc)Fisheries production in the Northern Territory was valued at $59.4 million in 2010–11 following a 5 per cent ($2.7 million) increase compared with 2009–10. Wild-catch production was valued at $32.4 million and accounted for 55 per cent of the Northern Territory’s total production value. The aquaculture sector was valued at $27.0 million and accounted for 45 per cent. The volume of production rose by 6.5 per cent (366 tonnes) between 2009–10 and 2010–11.

In 2010–11 the Northern Territory wild-catch sector harvest increased by around 8.4 per cent, amounting to 5315 tonnes of seafood. Similarly, the value of wild-catch production increased, by 3.8 per cent ($1.2 million), to $32.4 million. This was mainly driven by increases in the value of fish production of barramundi, sea perch, shark and mackerel, which collectively accounted for 52 per cent of the total wild-catch value. In 2010–11 the total value of these products increased by 33 per cent ($4.2 million) to $16.9 million. The increase in the value of wild-catch production was moderated by a 26 per cent ($3.9 million) decline in the value of mud crab and goldband snapper production. The two species collectively accounted for 45 per cent of the total value of wild catch production in 2010–11.

In 2010–11 the value of Northern Territory aquaculture production rose by 6 per cent ($1.5 million) to $27.0 million. Of this total, farmed barramundi accounted for 19 per cent ($5.2 million) and 651 tonnes of farmed Barramundi was produced. The remaining $21.8 million consisted of pearls ($21 million) and aquarium production ($0.8 million).

Commonwealth (Table 14)

Key species groups: prawns (wc), tuna (wc) and sharks (wc)In 2010–11 the gross value of production of Commonwealth-managed fisheries increased by 5 per cent ($14.4 million) to $320.4 million compared with 2009–10. The increase in value was primarily the result of increases in the production volumes of tropical rocklobster from the Torres Strait Tropical Rocklobster Fishery and yellowfin tuna caught in the Commonwealth Eastern Tuna and Billfish Fishery. In 2010–11 the volume of tropical rocklobster and yellowfin tuna production increased by 195 per cent (527 tonnes) and 40 per cent (576 tonnes), respectively. The combined gross value of production increase of these two species was $24.8 million. Lower production volumes and prices for orange roughy and blue grenadier caught in the Commonwealth trawl sector offset some of this gain.


18

Production

In 2010–11 the Northern Prawn Fishery was the most valuable Commonwealth-managed fishery, with the gross value of production rising by 7 per cent ($6 million) to $94.8 million. This was largely the result of a 30 per cent (2208 tonnes) increase in catch volume that offset the negative effect on gross value of production of an 18 per cent fall in the average unit value.

The Commonwealth trawl sector of the Southern and Eastern Scalefish and Shark Fishery is the second most valuable Commonwealth-managed fishery. In 2010–11 the sector was valued at $48.6 million, decreasing by 13 per cent ($7.1 million) compared with 2009–10. A 16 per cent decrease in average unit values was offset by a 4 per cent increase in the volume of production. Blue grenadier, tiger flathead and silver warehou continued to dominate production in this sector. In 2010–11 these species collectively accounted for 55 per cent of production volume (7969 tonnes) and value ($26.8 million) of the sector’s total production value.

In terms of commodities, prawns remained the most valuable product caught in Commonwealth-managed fisheries in 2010–11, valued at $98.0 million. This was followed by tuna ($54.3million). Together these products accounted for 48 per cent of the gross value of Commonwealth fisheries production in 2010–11. Other valuable species included tropical rocklobster ($28.3 million), flathead ($20.6 million), yellowfin tuna ($16.9 million), gummy shark ($16.1 million) and blue grenadier ($10.7 million), which collectively accounted for 29 per cent of Commonwealth fisheries’ gross value of production.

Production

Production by sectorThe gross volume and value of Australian production, by sector, is given in Table 1. Production and value summaries for each sector are given in Table 2 (wild-catch sector) and tables 15 to 17 (aquaculture sector).

In 2010–11 the total volume of Australian fisheries production decreased by 4 per cent (9079 tonnes) to 234 164 tonnes. This decrease was mainly driven by lower production in the wild-catch sector, which fell by 6 per cent (10 581 tonnes), offsetting the 2 per cent (1359 tonnes) increase in the production volume of the aquaculture sector.

The gross value of Australian fisheries production rose by 2 per cent ($39.8 million), from $2.19 billion in 2009–10 to $2.23 billion in 2010–11. Driving this increase is the 8 per cent ($70.5 million) rise in the value of aquaculture production. The gross value of wild-catch production fell by $22.5 million to $1.31 billion.

From 2000–01 to 2010–11, the value of state wild-catch production decreased by $789 million (44 per cent) in real terms (Figure 9). The value of Commonwealth fisheries production also declined, by $312.9 million (49 per cent), from $633.3 million in 2000–01 to $320.4 million in 2010–11. However, the real value of aquaculture production (including southern bluefin tuna) increased slightly by $9.3 million (1 per cent) over the same period.

Wild-catch (Table 2)

Key species groups: prawns, rocklobster, tuna and abaloneIn 2010–11 the total production volume of the wild-catch sector declined by 10 581 tonnes (6 per cent) to 162 762 tonnes. Declines in production volumes occurred predominantly in fish (9 per cent) and mollusc groups (5 per cent). Crustacean production increased slightly (1043 tonnes) between 2009–10 and 2010–11 to reach 38 708 tonnes.

In value terms, the gross value of wild-catch production fell by 2 per cent ($22.5 million) to $1.31 billion in 2010–11. The value of fish production fell by


20

Production

7 per cent ($31.1 million) to $405.0 million in 2010–11. The main factors driving this decrease were declines in production volumes for high-valued products, such as coral trout and orange roughy. Declines in volume resulted in the value of production for coral trout and orange roughy decreasing by 13 per cent ($4.1 million) and 71 per cent ($2.5 million), respectively; decreases in production volume and value for Australian salmon, Australian sardine and mullet also contributed to the decline in gross value of wild-catch production. By contrast, the production value for tuna increased by 22 per cent ($9.7 million) to $54.3 million in 2010–11 due to a 30 per cent increase in its average unit value. The production value for barramundi and pink ling also increased, by $3.7 million (28 per cent) and $2.5 million (52 per cent), respectively. These were the results of increases in production volumes and average unit values of the two species between 2009–10 and 2010–11.

The value of mollusc production rose by $2.3 million (1 per cent) to $204.4 million between 2009–10 and 2010–11. Abalone and scallop production accounted for 90 per cent of this value. In 2010–11 the value of abalone production increased by $3.9 million (2 per cent), following a 5 per cent (212 tonnes) increase in production volume. By contrast, the value of scallop production fell slightly, by $1.4 million (6 per cent), due to an 18 per cent (1393 tonnes) fall in production volume.

The value of crustacean production rose by 1 per cent ($6.5 million) to $697.9 million in 2010–11 compared with 2009–10. Rocklobster and prawn production accounted for the major share of the total value of wild-caught crustacean production in 2010–11, comprising 91 per cent. Despite a 3 per cent (260 tonnes) fall in the production volume of rocklobster, its production value rose by 2 per cent ($8.5 million) to $389.8 million in 2010–11. By contrast, the value of prawn production fell slightly, by 1 per cent ($1.6 million), following a 5 per cent fall in its average unit value.

Since 2000–01 the gross value of wild-catch production decreased by 46 per cent ($1.1 billion) in real terms. Falls occurred across all major wild-caught species over this period. The largest declines occurred for prawns ($288.8 million), rocklobster ($252.2 million), abalone ($201.4 million) and tuna ($110.9 million), and were the combined result of declines in unit prices and production volumes.

Aquaculture (tables 15 to 17)

Key species groups: prawns, oyster, tuna and salmonidsThe gross value of aquaculture production rose by 8 per cent ($70.5 million) to $948.1 million in 2010–11 (Figure 11). Prawns, tuna, salmonids, edible oysters and pearl oysters accounted for 85 per cent of this value, contributing $810.1 million in 2010–11.

The largest contributor to Australian aquaculture production in 2010–11 is salmonids, which make up 47 per cent of the total aquaculture production volume and 43 per cent of the value. The production value of farmed salmonids rose by $39.3 million (11 per cent) between 2009–10 and 2010–11, to $408.8 million. This increase was driven by an 11 per cent (3412 tonnes) increase in production volume. Most salmonids production occurred in Tasmania. Rapid growth of this species group in Tasmania since 2005–06 has contributed significantly to expansion of Australian salmonids production. Compared with 2004–05, the real value of Australian farmed salmonids production increased by 133 per cent ($233.3 million). The volume of production also increased considerably, by 107 per cent (18 314 tonnes), over the same period.

Farmed tuna production consists solely of farmed southern bluefin tuna from South Australia, which accounted for 13 per cent of the total value of Australian aquaculture production in 2010–11. The value of farmed tuna production rose by $23 million (22 per cent) between 2009–10 and 2010–11, to $125.2 million. This was primarily due to a 54 per cent increase in its average unit price, offsetting a 20 per cent (1484 tonnes) reduction in the volume of farmed tuna production.

Aquaculture prawns accounted for 6 per cent of the total value of Australian aquaculture production in 2010–11. Between 2009–10 and 2010–11 this species group decreased in value by $18.1 million (24 per cent), as a result of a 25 per cent fall (1310 tonnes) in production volume. Most of the decrease in farmed prawn production in 2010–11 occurred in Queensland where the volume of aquaculture prawn production decreased by 25 per cent (1293 tonnes) to 3822 tonnes.

Since 2000–01 the gross value of aquaculture production has declined slightly, by 1 per cent ($9.3 million), in real terms. The largest decreases over this period came from the production of tuna and pearl oysters. Tuna production fell by $225.2 million (64 per cent), while pearl oyster production declined by 79.8 million (40 per cent).

Imports

In 2010–11• The total value of Australian imports of fisheries products (edible and non-edible)

remained stable at $1.5 billion.• Approximately 83 per cent of the Australian import value of fisheries products

consisted of edible products, which increased by 2 per cent ($27.0 million) to $1.3 billion. The remainder consisted of non-edible products, predominantly pearls and fish meal.

From 2000–01 to 2010–11• The real value of Australian fisheries imports increased by 0.06 per cent

($1.0 million).• The real value of edible fisheries imports increased by 10 per cent ($116.6 million),

largely due to higher imports of edible fish, rising by $92.7 million (14 per cent), and higher imports of edible crustaceans and molluscs, which increased by $23.9 million (5 per cent).

• The real value of non-edible fisheries imports declined by 31 per cent ($115.6 million), with most of this fall attributed to a decrease in the value of pearl imports, by 31 per cent to $166.9 million.

Exports and importsHistorically, Australia has been a net importer of fisheries products in volume terms but a net exporter in value terms. This disparity reflects the composition of Australian fisheries exports compared with imports. Australian fisheries exports are dominated by high value products, such as rocklobster, tuna and abalone, while imports largely consist of lower value products, such as frozen fish fillets, canned fish and frozen prawns.

In recent years, the gap between imports and exports in value terms has closed and in 2007–08 Australia became a net importer of fisheries products in value terms (Figure 12). In 2010–11 this trend continued. Australian imports and exports of fisheries products remained relatively the same as they had been in 2009–10.

Trade

In 2010–11 the total value of Australian exports of fisheries products was $1.2 billion. About 79 per cent of this value was derived from exports of edible fisheries products, such as fish, crustaceans and molluscs, which were valued at $990.9 million. Exports of non-edible fisheries products, such as pearls, fish meals and marine fats and oils, accounted for the remaining 21 per cent ($257.9 million) of total fishery exports.

In real terms, the value of Australian fisheries exports fell by 57 per cent ($1.6 billion) from $2.9 billion in 2000–01 to $1.2 billion in 2010–11, with most of the fall occurring over the period to 2004–05 (Figure 12). The main factors contributing to this decline were a 38 per cent (24 739 tonnes) decrease in the volume of edible exports and falling unit export prices for most major export products, particularly prawns, tuna and abalone. The decline in unit export prices was the result, in part, of an appreciation in the Australian dollar against both the Japanese yen and US dollar over the last decade. From 2004–05 the real value of Australian fisheries exports decreased by 32 per cent ($593 million) as a result of lower export unit prices following a 31 per cent appreciation of the Australian dollar over the period to 2010–11.

In 2010–11 the total value of Australian fisheries imports stayed relatively constant at $1.5 billion. Approximately 83 per cent of import value consisted of edible fishery products, which increased in value terms by 2 per cent ($26.9 million) to $1.3 billion.

From 2004–05 to 2010–11 the value of Australian fisheries imports rose by 9 per cent ($130.6 million) in real terms. This compares with a decline over the preceding period from 2000–01 to 2003–04. The main factor contributing to this increase was a 14 per cent (25 535 tonnes) increase in the quantity of edible imports (excluding live products), with this increase in volume distributed between fish, crustacean and mollusc products.

Trade

Exports by commodity (tables 18 to 20)The total export value of fisheries products (edible and non-edible) increased by only 0.2 per cent ($2.1 million) in 2010–11 to $1.2 billion (Figure 13). Although the total value of both edible and non-edible exports remained relatively unchanged, the value of a few individual edible fishery commodities varied substantially. For example, the export value of scallops almost halved in 2010–11 to $15.4 million, while that of prawns and tuna increased by 25 per cent ($15.6 million) and 11 per cent ($13.3 million), respectively.

The volume of prawn exports increased by 38 per cent (1760 tonnes) and scallop exports fell by 48 per cent (522 tonnes). The export volume of tuna decreased by 18 per cent (1704 tonnes), while the price of tuna export per kilogram increased by 36 per cent ($4.41) in 2010–11. Favourable tuna export prices were the result of strong global demand for sashimi in 2010 and improvements in the Japanese economy. Further fuelling the export price of tuna in 2010–11 was the rush from Japanese traders to fill their cold storages in anticipation of Atlantic bluefin tuna trade restrictions (FAO Globefish 2010).

Key products: rocklobster, abalone, tuna and prawnsFish products

The total volume of fish products exported increased by 6 per cent (1157 tonnes) to 21 926 tonnes in 2010–11. Countering the 18 per cent (1704 tonnes) decrease in tuna export volume was the 63 per cent (2353 tonnes) increase in the volume of salmon products exported. In value terms, exports of fish products increased


26

Trade

by 11 per cent ($29.0 million) in 2010–11 to $287.4 million. Most of the increase in export value of fish products in 2010–11 came from frozen tuna, which increased by 57 per cent ($32.7 million) and fresh or chilled salmon, which increased by 95 per cent ($24.4 million). The value of fresh or chilled tuna exports decreased by 33 per cent ($19.4 million).

In 2010–11 fish product exports accounted for just over half of edible fisheries product exports by volume and 29 per cent by value. Tuna and salmon were the highest single species groups of fish product exports, together accounting for 63 per cent of fish product exports, by volume.

Tuna exports (including canned) dominated edible fish exports, accounting for 46 per cent ($131.4 million) in value terms in 2010–11, while salmon exports (including canned) accounted for a relatively smaller share (18 per cent or $51.2 million) of the value of edible fish exports. In volume terms, salmon exports accounted for 28 per cent (6077 tonnes) of edible fish exports. However, the contribution of salmon exports to total edible fish products increased significantly in 2010–11, with a 92 per cent ($24.6 million) increase in value and a 63 per cent (2353 tonnes) increase in volume. These increases came mainly from exports of fresh or chilled whole salmon, which accounted for 98 per cent of total salmon exports by value and volume in 2010–11.

However, exports of other fish products experienced slight decreases in value in 2010–11; total export value of other fish products decreased by 8 per cent ($8.5 million) despite an increase of 7 per cent (542 tonnes) in total volume. The decrease in export value of other fish came primarily from live exports, which decreased by $7.1 million (17 per cent), and other fresh, chilled or frozen fish, which decreased by $7.5 million (54 per cent).

Crustacean and mollusc products

In 2010–11 exports of crustaceans and molluscs increased by 2 per cent (417 tonnes) in volume terms. At the same time the total value of crustacean and mollusc exports fell by 4 per cent ($25.7 million). Crustacean and mollusc exports accounted for 47 per cent and 71 per cent of edible export volume and value, respectively.


27

Trade

The major crustacean and mollusc exports were rocklobsters, prawns, crabs, abalone and scallops. Rocklobster exports accounted for 52 per cent of the total export value of crustaceans and molluscs in 2010–11. Compared with 2009–10, the export value of rocklobsters fell by 8 per cent ($30.4 million) to $369.3 million, driven by a 9 per cent (712 tonnes) decrease in export volume for the product. Abalone exports accounted for 30 per cent of the total value of crustacean and mollusc exports. The value of these exports fell by 2 per cent ($4.3 million) to $212.0 million in 2010–11, largely because of a 6 per cent (215 tonnes) decrease in its export volume. By contrast, the value of prawn exports increased by 25 per cent ($15.6 million) to $77.1 million. This was linked to a 38 per cent (1760 tonnes) increase in the volume of prawns exported between 2009–10 and 2010–11.

The total export value of both crabs and scallops fell in 2010–11. Together, they experienced a 33 per cent or $14.4 million fall in value. These two commodities contributed $28.9 million (4 per cent) of the total export value of crustaceans and molluscs.

Non-edible fisheries productsKey products: pearls

The value of non-edible fisheries product exports remained relatively unchanged in 2010–11 at $990.9 million. The 33 per cent ($1.8 million) increase in export value of other non-edible fisheries product was countered by a 1 per cent ($2.5 million) decrease in the value of pearl exports. Pearl exports were valued at $241.3 million and were the most valuable non-edible export product in 2010–11, accounting for 94 per cent of the total non-edible export value and 19 per cent of the total value of fisheries products exports. The remaining 6 per cent of the total export value of non-edible fisheries products included marine fats and oils, fish meal, ornamental fish and other non-edible products.

Exports by destination (tables 21 to 25)Edible fisheries products

Main destinations: China, Hong Kong and JapanIn 2010–11 Australia’s major seafood export destinations were Hong Kong ($393.7 million), Japan ($225.9 million), China ($143.2 million), Singapore ($41.2 million) and the United States ($35.2 million), which together accounted for 88 per cent of the total value of Australian seafood exports in 2010–11 (Figure 15).

Most finfish products were exported to Japan (mainly tuna and salmon), New Zealand (canned fish), Thailand (whiting) and China (whiting). Hong Kong and Japan remained the primary markets for Australia’s exports of crustaceans and molluscs, with mainland China becoming a large market for live, fresh or chilled whole rocklobster exports. In 2010–11 China imported 1355 tonnes of rocklobster, which represents 19 per cent of all Australian rocklobster exports. The export of rocklobster to China was valued at $69.4 million in 2010–11, compared with $0.05 million in 2009–10.

In 2010–11 Hong Kong remained Australia’s major export destination for edible fisheries products, accounting for 41 per cent of the total export value of these products (excluding live). Rocklobster and abalone were the main fishery products exported to Hong Kong: rocklobster accounted for 57 per cent of the total value of exports to Hong Kong and abalone 28 per cent. In 2010–11 the export value of rocklobsters to Hong Kong fell by 26 per cent ($79.9 million) to $226.0 million, while exports of abalone fell by 16 per cent ($20.5 million) to $111.1 million. Exports of scallops, crabs, prawns and dried, salted or smoked fish accounted for most of the remainder of the total edible fish product exports to Hong Kong.

Japan accounted for 24 per cent of the total export value of edible fisheries products in 2010–11. The main edible fisheries products exported to Japan were tuna (whole), rocklobster, abalone and prawns, accounting for 89 per cent of the total value of edible exports to Japan. Whole tuna was the most important export product to Japan, contributing more than half ($127.0 million) of the total export value. Japan is one of Australia’s most important whole tuna export markets, accounting for 97 per cent of Australian exports of whole tuna in value terms.

Other important export destinations in 2010–11 included China, Taiwan, Singapore and the United States. China and Taiwan are important export markets for rocklobster, accounting for 19 per cent and 6 per cent, respectively, of the volume of Australia’s rocklobster exports in 2010–11. China and Singapore were the main export markets for abalone in 2010–11; China accounted for 22 per cent and Singapore 12 per cent of the volume of Australian abalone exports. For crab exports, Taiwan and China both accounted for 22 per cent of the volume of Australian crab exports in 2010–11.

Non-edible fisheries products

Main destinations: Hong Kong, Japan and United StatesThe key export destinations for Australian non-edible fisheries products in value terms in 2010–11 were Hong Kong ($145.1 million), Japan ($43.3 million) and the United States ($8.1 million). Together, these countries comprised 76 per cent of non-edible fisheries product exports in value terms. The major product exported to these markets was pearls, which accounted for 97 per cent of non-edible exports to Hong Kong, 93 per cent to Japan and 55 per cent to the United States.

Exports by state (tables 26 to 28)In 2010–11 Western Australia and South Australia topped edible fisheries products exports in value terms at $240.1 million and $238.4 million, respectively, followed by Tasmania ($165.6 million) and Queensland ($162.7 million). Together, these states accounted for 81 per cent of the total value of edible exports. Most of the remaining share came from Victoria ($148.5 million) and New South Wales ($15.9 million).

In 2010–11 Western Australia exported $198.2 million of western rocklobster, accounting for 54 per cent of Australia’s total rocklobster export value. South Australia exported $128.8 million of fresh, chilled or frozen whole fish, the majority of which was southern bluefin tuna. South Australia also exported a significant amount of southern rocklobster in the same year, valued at $58.0 million in 2010–11. For Tasmania, the major fisheries products exported in 2010–11 were abalone ($88.4 million) and fresh, chilled or frozen whole fish ($49.7 million). The key edible export products for Queensland were prawns and live fish, together valued at $80.5 million. Queensland also exported about $29.6 million worth of tropical rocklobster in 2010–11.

Non-edible exports, predominantly pearls, were dominated by exports from the Northern Territory (64 per cent, $153.5 million in value terms), and Western Australia (20 per cent, $47.1 million).

Imports by commodity (tables 29 to 31)The total value of Australian fisheries imports remained fairly stable at $1.5 billion in 2010–11. Approximately 83 per cent of this value consisted of edible products (valued at $1.3 billion). Edible imported products in 2010–11 included $769.1 million of finfish (60 per cent of total edible imports) and $503.5 million of crustaceans and molluscs (40 per cent). Non-edible products accounted for the remaining 17 per cent ($258 million) of imports in value terms and included pearls, fish meal and marine fats and oils (Figure 16).

The major imported products in 2010–11 were canned fish ($287.4 million), frozen fish fillets ($230.1 million), pearls ($166.9 million) and fresh, chilled or frozen prawns ($148.6 million) (Figure 17).

Edible fisheries products

Key products: fish (canned, frozen fillets) and prawns (fresh, chilled or frozen)Imports of edible fisheries products in 2010–11 rose by 2 per cent ($27 million) to $1.3 billion in value terms. The largest change in edible import value came from canned fish imports, which rose by $29.9 million (12 per cent), and other fresh, chilled or frozen crustaceans and molluscs, which also increased by $16.3 million (20 per cent).


31

Trade

In 2010–11, 60 per cent ($769.1 million) of the total value of edible fisheries product imports was from finfish, while crustaceans and molluscs comprised the remaining 40 per cent ($503.5 million).

Finfish

Finfish imports were valued at $769.1 million and accounted for 60 per cent of total edible imports in 2010–11. The largest categories of edible finfish imports in value terms were canned fish ($287.4 million) and frozen fish fillets ($230.1 million).

The value of finfish imports rose by 2 per cent ($17.6 million) in 2010–11, mainly due to the higher import value of canned fish.

Canned fish imports rose by 12 per cent, from $257.5 million in 2009–10 to $287.4 million in 2010–11. Canned tuna and canned salmon contributed $200 million (70 per cent) and $49.6 million (17 per cent), respectively, to the total value of canned fish imports.

The import value of frozen fish fillets fell by 1 per cent ($1.8 million) to $230.1 million, mainly as a result of a 5 per cent decrease in the average unit import price for frozen fish fillets. The value of smoked, dried or salted fish product imports also fell by 7 per cent ($3.4 million) to $43 million.

Crustaceans and molluscs

In 2010–11 crustacean and mollusc imports rose by 2 per cent ($9.3 million) to $503.5 million. This consisted mainly of prawns ($291.0 million, including canned and preserved), followed by fresh, chilled or frozen calamari, squid and octopus ($74.3 million) and fresh, chilled or frozen scallops ($34.5 million).

The increase in value was mainly driven by significant increases in the import values of calamari, squid and octopus, which rose by 20 per cent ($12.3 million) and accounted for 15 per cent of the total value of crustacean and mollusc imports (Table 31). This was primarily the result of a 26 per cent increase in the average import price of calamari, squid and octopus. The import value of fresh, chilled or frozen lobster also increased, but to a lesser extent, by $3.1 million (28 per cent) to $14.3 million. This was driven by the 25 per cent (163 tonnes) increase in its imported quantity.

Imports by source (tables 32 to 38)Edible fisheries products

Key sources: Thailand, New Zealand, China and VietnamThe major sources for Australian edible imports (excluding live products) in 2010–11 were Thailand, New Zealand, China and Vietnam (Figure 18). Thailand remained the largest source by value ($340.4 million), accounting for 27 per cent of the total edible import value. New Zealand, China and Vietnam accounted for 17 per cent, 15 per cent and 13 per cent of the total edible import value, respectively.

The major import product from Thailand was canned fish (primarily tuna), which accounted for about 62 per cent of the total value of edible fisheries products imported from Thailand in 2010–11.

The major import products from New Zealand were frozen fish fillets and fresh and chilled whole fish. In 2010–11 Australia imported $64.4 million of frozen fish fillets and $60.5 million of fresh and chilled whole fish from New Zealand.

The import value of edible fisheries products from Vietnam and China has increased in recent years (figures 19 and 20). The total import value from Vietnam and China increased by $103.9 million and $155.8 million, respectively, in real terms from 2000–01 to 2010–11. Until 2009–10 the main commodity imported from both countries was prawns. In 2010–11 Australian imports of fresh, chilled or frozen prawn products from China remained relatively stable at $42.5 million. By contrast, the import value of other crustaceans and molluscs from China surged by 57 per cent ($16 million) to $44.5 million. This was a result of a 21 per cent (1549 tonnes) increase in the imported quantities and a 29 per cent increase in the average import value of other crustaceans and molluscs from China.

Trade

Prawns continue to be the key commodity imported from Vietnam. The value of prawns imported from Vietnam in 2010–11 increased by 13 per cent ($10.3 million) to $89.5 million. This was primarily driven by a 22 per cent ($11.6 million) increase in the value of canned prawns imported from Vietnam, which makes up 39 per cent of total edible imports from that country.

Non-edible fisheries products

Key sources: Peru, Norway, New Zealand and United StatesImports of non-edible fisheries products fell by 4 per cent ($10.6 million) to $258.4 million in 2010–11. Imports classified as being re-imported Australian product were 56 per cent of this value and were the main cause of the decrease in 2010–11. Australian re-imports (mostly re-imported pearl products) accounted for $145.4 million in 2010–11, compared with $154.2 million in 2009–10.

In 2010–11 most imports of non-edible fisheries products that were not re-imports were sourced from Peru, Norway and Indonesia. Combined, these countries accounted for 20 per cent ($51.2 million) of the Australian total value of non-edible fisheries products in 2010–11. The major commodities imported from Peru in 2009–10 were fat and oil products ($8.9 million) and fish meal ($18.2 million). The major products imported from Norway were fat and oil products, which contributed $10.6 million of total non-edible import value from that country in 2010–11. Other major import sources were Indonesia ($10.8 million) and Samoa ($7.0 million).

Employment

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) does not provide separate employment statistics for the fishing sector; these figures are included in the hunting and trapping sector. However, separate statistics are available for the aquaculture sector. The Labour Force Survey (ABS 2010) shows that in 2009–10 the fishing, hunting and trapping industry employed 11 699 people, an increase of 268 relative to 2009–10 (Figure 21). Employment in the aquaculture sector rose by 16 per cent (588 people) to 4373 people in 2010–11, while employment in the fishing, hunting and trapping sector fell by 4.2 per cent (321 people) to 7326 people.

Full-time employment accounted for 71 per cent of employment in the fishing, hunting and trapping sector, with part-time employment making up the remaining 29 per cent. Compared with 2009–10, the number of people engaged in full-time employment in the fishing, hunting and trapping sector decreased by 6.9 per cent (382 people) in 2010–11. Part-time employment in the fishing, hunting and trapping sector rose by 3 per cent (61 people) in the same year.

In the aquaculture sector, full-time and part-time employment accounted for 82 per cent and 18 per cent, respectively. Compared with 2009–10, the number of people employed full-time in the aquaculture sector increased by 24 per cent (701 people) to 3590 people in 2010–11. By contrast, part-time employment in the aquaculture sector fell by 13 per cent (112 people) to 783 people between 2009–10 and 2010–11.

Males have historically dominated the employment share in the commercial fishing, hunting and trapping industry. In 2010–11 the number of females employed in the industry increased by 84 per cent (1006 females), compared with 2009–10. Nevertheless, males still made up 81 per cent (9489 males) of total employment in the industry, while females constituted the other 19 per cent (2210 females). By sector, fishing, hunting and trapping employed 7326 people, of which 1121 were female, while aquaculture employed 4373 people, of which 1088 were female.

Employment

The most recent ABS Census Survey detailing employment in the fishing industry, by sector and by state, was conducted in 2011. Fishing, hunting and trapping and aquaculture activities employed 8049 people, with 58 per cent (4681 people) engaged in fishing, hunting and trapping activities and 42 per cent (3368 people) in aquaculture activities. Fish wholesaling and seafood processing employed 5764, with 69 per cent (3981 people) employed in fish wholesaling and 31 per cent (1783 people) in seafood processing.

Employment

The offshore longline and rack aquaculture sector employed the largest number of people (1274), followed by rocklobster fishing (1058). By state, Western Australia employed the largest number of people in the wild-catch fishing sector (638 people), followed by Queensland (557 people) and New South Wales (489 people). Tasmania employed the largest number of people in the aquaculture sector (1152 people), followed by South Australia (673 people) and New South Wales (588 people).

The Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC) has noted that ABS employment data provides a highly conservative estimate of employment in the commercial fishing industry. Employment in commercial fishing covers Commonwealth fishing employment and state fisheries and aquaculture. Data collected by the ABS are not disaggregated in sufficient detail to be useful for planning and strategic purposes. These data tend to ‘under-report employees, including through attribution of some fishing industry activities to other industries such as transport and generalised food processing’ (FRDC 2005).

Furthermore, ABS employment data do not appear to be consistent with data collected by AFMA in connection with fishing vessels, fishing licences and other forms of fishing regulation. However, the latter sources are not sufficiently comprehensive to provide a substitute for ABS data. Until accurate information is available, the FRDC estimates that total commercial fishing employment (direct and indirect) is between 100 000 and 120 000 (FRDC 2010). This figure includes people employed in the wild-catch, aquaculture and all post-harvest processes (including seafood components of transport, wholesaling, retailing and restaurants).

Recreational fishing is a popular activity that contributes economic and social benefits to the Australian economy, particularly in regional areas. Ridge Partners (2010) estimates that about 3.4 million Australians engage in recreational fishing each year, directly contributing an estimated $2.5 billion to the economy.

Some industries depend either wholly on the recreational fishing sector (the fishing tackle and bait industry, and the fishing tour and charter industry) or rely on it for a large proportion of income (the recreational boating industry and the tourism industry in coastal regions). In 2003 the ABS estimated that the sector supports about 90 000 Australian jobs (ABS 2003). Campbell and Murphy (2005) estimate that recreational fishers spent $223 million on fishing gear, tackle and bait in the 12 months to May 2000 (including second-hand purchases). By contrast, Dominion Consulting (2005) estimated that the value of retail sales in the tackle and bait industry in 2003–04 was $665 million. For the recreational boating industry, annual turnover is estimated at around $500 million, of which 60 per cent is related to fishing (ABS 2003).

Individual state and territory authorities are responsible for managing recreational and charter fishing in Australia. Recreational fishers are not required to report their activities to fishery management agencies, although in some states charter operators report the total catch and fishing effort of tour groups as a condition of their licence. Some states require that recreational fishers be licensed and that anglers carry their licences while fishing.

Estimation of the catch and harvest of fish by recreational fishers depends on surveys of the general population and targeted surveys of fishers who can be contacted via licence details or at known locations where fishers commonly have access to fish stocks.

State and territory governments use controls on fish size, bag limits, gear restrictions and seasonal and area closures to regulate recreational catches. Licensing requirements and regulations vary considerably between jurisdictions and often depend on location within a jurisdiction, the fishing method used and the species targeted.

Valuation of the recreational sector is difficult; unlike commercial fishers, who sell their catch on markets, recreational fishers do not have to pay for fish caught recreationally and, therefore, do not reveal the associated value they gain from catching fish. Although non-market valuation techniques are available to estimate the

Chapter 4 Recreational and charter fishing


41

Recreational and charter fishing

value of recreational fisheries, these techniques are often costly to apply. Questions also arise over how comparable such recreational values are with gross value of production measures used for valuing the commercial sector. For these reasons, estimates of the economic value of recreational fishing are often not available. ‘Measuring the economic and employment contribution of recreational fishing at a national level’ has become one of the top priorities for research investment as proposed in the Recfishing Research 2012–13 business plan (InfoFish Australia 2012).

Australia-wideComprehensive national recreational fisheries statistics are not available for recent years. The last Australia-wide survey of the sector was the 2000–01 National Recreational and Indigenous Fishing Survey (NRIFS), conducted by Commonwealth and state fishery management agencies (Henry & Lyle 2003). Over the 12 months to May 2001 the study used telephone and diary survey methods to gather information on the number of recreational fishers in each state and territory, and the extent of their activities.

The results from the survey indicated that 3.36 million fishers participated in recreational fishing between May 2000 and May 2001. Estimated expenditure on services and items related to recreational fishing was $1.85 billion over the survey period. New South Wales had the largest expenditure ($554 million), followed by Victoria ($396 million) and Queensland ($320 million). The annual average expenditure per fisher was highest in Victoria at $721 per fisher, followed by Western Australia ($706 per fisher) and the Northern Territory ($608 per fisher). The national average was $552 per fisher per year.

Since 2001 the NRIFS survey methodology has been repeated in some states and the Northern Territory, although not in concurrent timeframes. A comparison of key participation and fishing effort statistics from the NRIFS and subsequent statewide surveys shows that, for the states where the surveys have recently been repeated, there has been a moderate reduction in numbers of fishers but a more pronounced reduction in participation rate and total days spent fishing. Statistics on expenditure by fishers are not available in the recent statewide surveys.

New South WalesIn New South Wales, a recreational fishing licence is needed for all recreational fishing activities. Size and bag limits apply for many species, as do gear restrictions and area/seasonal closures. Separate recreational fishing rules apply for saltwater and freshwater fishing. Size limits, catch limits and area and seasonal closures are the primary management measures for these categories. Operators in the charter boat sector must hold a licence and maintain comprehensive catch records. However, a number of categories of recreational fishing are exempt from licensing. People under the age of 18 or over the age of 60 and Indigenous people are exempt from holding a recreational fishing licence.

The Department of Primary Industries conducted a survey of recreational fishers in the Greater Sydney region of New South Wales for two years, from March 2007 (Steffe & Murphy 2011). The survey provided estimates of fishing effort and catch for common recreational species in marine and estuarine fisheries within the region, by location and for the region as a whole.

The Department of Primary Industries has collected data on gamefishing tournaments since the early 1990s (Park 2007). The program collects catch and effort data from scheduled radio reports routinely broadcast during tournaments and more detailed data from tournament results and post-fishing interviews with gamefishers.

Since the NRIFS in 2001, there has not been a survey in New South Wales that can provide statewide estimates of catch, fishing effort and expenditure for the recreational fishing sector.

For more information about recreational fishing in New South Wales, see the state Department of Primary Industries website.

VictoriaAn all-water recreational fishing licence is required for such activities in Victoria. Some recreational fisheries in the state are exempt, but limits and closures still apply. People under 18 years of age or 70 years of age or over are also exempt from holding a recreational fishing licence.

Fisheries Victoria ran a Statewide Angler Fishing Diary Program to collect statistics on Victorian recreational fishing during 1997–2006 (Bridge & Conron 2010). A time series of catch rates and size composition information was generated for four key target species in four fishing regions of interest to Fisheries Victoria:• snapper in Port Phillip Bay and Western Port• King George whiting in Port Phillip Bay and Western Port• black bream in the Gippsland Lakes• rainbow and brown trout in the Goulburn River.

Currently, angler diary programs are run in selected inland and estuarine water bodies where monitoring is required under Fishery Management Plans (Conron et al. 2012).

From March to July 2011 Fisheries Victoria conducted a survey of fishers targeting southern bluefin tuna in western Victoria. During interviews at boat ramps and while gathering catch, fishers were asked about fishing effort and size composition of retained southern bluefin tuna. The estimated total retained catch of southern bluefin tuna from the Victorian fishery was 240 tonnes; however, this is likely to be an underestimate because the survey excluded some fishers for example, those with moored boats (Green et al. 2012).


43


Although a pilot statewide telephone diary survey was tested in 2006, there are no recent statewide estimates of participation, catch and fishing effort for Victorian recreational fishers that are comparable to the 2000–01 NRIFS.

For more information about recreational fishing in Victoria, see the state Department of Primary Industries website.

QueenslandRecreational fishers are not required to hold a licence to fish in Queensland waters. However, anglers over the age of 18 must purchase a permit when they fish in certain Queensland dams. Many species have limits on the size (length) of fish that can be legally taken, including minimum size limits and some maximum size limits.

The 2009 report, Prospects for Queensland’s primary industries 2009–10, estimates the value generated from recreational fishing activities at $73 million (DEEDI 2009). The value is estimated using expenditure figures, including purchases of vessels and fishing equipment, as an indicator of the total recreational fishing value. Therefore, this value is often larger than the commercial equivalent value of fish caught.

The report estimates recreational fishing expenditure in Queensland at between $350 million and $420 million in 2008–09 (DEEDI 2009). Calculation of this expenditure uses an estimate of Queensland recreational fishing expenditure for 2000 (derived from the NRIFS) and adjusts it to 2008–09 dollars assuming the same economic conditions apply. About 250 charter vessels operate in Queensland waters, where expenditure related to charter fishing is estimated at about $16 million.

The Queensland Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry’s 2010 Statewide Recreational Fishing Survey collected reliable estimates of recreational participation rates, statewide and regional annual catch, common species caught by recreational fishers and regions where recreational fishing activities take place. The survey combined diary and telephone surveys to collect high-quality data over 12 months (Queensland DAFF 2012). Statistics for fisher participation and fishing days are shown in the comparative table above. The final report was released in October 2012.

For more information about recreational fishing in Queensland, see the state Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry website.

South AustraliaThe Department of Primary Industries and Resources South Australia (PIRSA 2010) estimates that 236 000 South Australians participate in recreational fishing each year. Recreational fishers are not required to hold a licence to fish in South Australian waters. However, they must use registered rocklobster pots to catch southern rocklobster for personal use. Minimum size limits, bag limits, vessel limits, gear restrictions and area and seasonal closures apply for many recreational species. Charter vessel operators must hold a charter boat fishery licence, and are also subject to these restrictions.

In 2007–08 the department conducted a recreational fishing survey that provided estimates of recreational fisher participation levels, demographics, fishing effort and catches for 12 key species (Jones 2009). Read the report, South Australian Recreational Fishing Survey 2007–08.

Western AustraliaIn Western Australia, recreational fishing licences are required for abalone, rocklobster, marron, net fishing and freshwater angling. A statewide recreational boat fishing licence was introduced in 2009, along with new bag limits designed to preserve fish stocks. Seasonal closures are used to control fishing effort for some species, and size and bag limits also apply for most species caught.

Since 2001 operators in the aquatic tour industry, which includes charter fishing operators, have been required to hold a licence. However, fishers do not need a recreational fishing licence when fishing from a licensed charter vessel. A person fishing from a vessel without a motor does not require a recreational boat fishing licence. Indigenous fishers are not required to hold a recreational fishing licence if the fish are taken for personal use, rather than for a commercial purpose.

Results from the Western Australia Department of Fisheries Recreational Boat Fishing Survey 2011 were scheduled for publication in early 2013. The survey tracked fishing activity by 3000 randomly selected boat fishers who were each issued with a logbook. This survey provides estimates of the quantity of fish retained and released for each Western Australian fishing region.

For more information about recreational fishing in Western Australia, see the state Department of Fisheries website.

TasmaniaIn Tasmania, a licence for saltwater rod and line fishing is not required but fishers must hold an Inland Fisheries Licence for inland waters, including some river mouths and estuaries. Recreational fishing licences are needed for collecting abalone, southern rocklobster, scallops and mullet, and when using graball and beach seine nets. Fishing using any type of set line, including dropline or longline, also requires a licence. A range of gear restrictions, bag limits, size limits, seasonal closures and area restrictions apply for abalone, southern rocklobster, shellfish and scalefish.

Indigenous fishers undertaking customary fishing are exempt from holding a licence but must comply with all other fisheries rules, such as gear restrictions, possession limits, and size and seasonal restrictions. For Indigenous ceremonial activities, permits and exemptions are available.

The Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment and the Tasmanian Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute carried out the 2007–08 Survey of Recreational Fishing in Tasmania, which was funded by the Tasmanian Fishwise Community Grants program (Lyle et al. 2009). The survey provided estimates of recreational fishing participation and catch between December 2007 and November 2008. Other surveys funded through the Tasmanian Fishwise Community Grants program include assessments of the recreational rocklobster fishery, studies of net fishing and a survey of gamefishing in Tasmania (DPIPWE 2010).

For more information about recreational fishing in Tasmania, see the state Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment website.

Northern TerritoryIt is estimated that Northern Territory residents and visitors spend nearly $35 million annually on recreational fishing, with the purchase of vessels and vehicles and their associated running costs making up the bulk of the expenditure (Handley 2010).

Recreational fishers are not required to hold a licence to fish in Northern Territory waters, although a temporary licence is needed for recreational fishing on and over Indigenous granted land and adjoining waters. Size and possession limits are the primary catch controls for recreational fishing. However, seasonal and area closures also apply for many recreational species.

The Northern Territory Government conducted a recreational fishing survey from February 2009 to March 2010 (Northern Territory Government 2009a; 2009b). The survey provided information on the numbers of fish caught, the time taken to catch fish, fishing gear used and the location of activity. The survey report is scheduled for publication by January 2013.

For more information about recreational fishing in the Northern Territory, see the Northern Territory Government website.

Australian Capital TerritoryRecreational fishers do not need a licence to fish in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). However, a permit is required when using any type of powered vessel for recreational fishing on Canberra’s urban lakes. The main recreational species targeted are Murray cod, golden perch, trout, redfin and European carp.

ACT public waters are opened for fishing all year round and are divided into three categories: open waters, permanently closed waters and trout waters. Bag and size limits and seasonal closures apply, as do restrictions on specific fishing gear and bait used for recreational fishing purposes. Enclosed traps, such as bait, minnow and yabby traps, are prohibited in ACT public waters.

Some ACT waters are permanently closed to protect native fish species. These species are trout cod, Macquarie perch, silver perch, two-spined blackfish, and Murray River crayfish. If caught, these species must be returned to the water unharmed.

For more information about recreational fishing in the Australian Capital Territory, see the ACT Environment and Sustainable Government website.

Commonwealth watersAlthough state and territory governments manage recreational fishing offshore from their coastlines, the Australian Government has responsibility for managing many fish stocks in Commonwealth waters; these are waters further than three nautical miles from shore. Recreational catch is of particular importance where the target species are also primary targets of commercial fisheries; Griffiths and Pepperell (2006) identified 245 such marine species. These species include tuna, billfish and deepwater finfish.

In October 2010 Recfish Australia released, Recreational fishing in Commonwealth waters: a preliminary assessment. The report focuses on the level of recreational fishing in Commonwealth waters. The report found that in some regions in 2005–06, particularly Narooma–Bermagui, 47 per cent of fishing trips occurred in Commonwealth waters and generated about $27 million for the local community (Recfish Australia 2010).

Between December 2010 and May 2011, ABARES surveyed gamefishers, local businesses and community members at three eastern Australian sites where gamefishing tournaments were held several times a year (Ward et al. 2012). The sites were Mooloolaba, Port Stephens and Bermagui. Tournament game fishers surveyed at Mooloolaba averaged 13 gamefishing trips to that site, amounting to 15 days per year. Those at Port Stephens averaged 6 trips (9 days) and those at Bermagui, 4 trips (11 days) per year. On average fishers spent $4625 for a tournament trip to Port Stephens, $2698 per trip to Bermagui and $2378 per trip to Mooloolaba. The net economic value of game fishing was also estimated. This is the use value (non-financial) that individuals place on a game-fishing trip, in addition to their actual expenditure. The net economic value from a trip to Bermagui ($124 per individual per trip) was substantially higher than that of Port Stephens ($67), but survey respondents travelled greater distances to experience game fishing in Bermagui.

Customary fishing by Indigenous people is increasingly being recognised as separate to other types of fishing. The National Indigenous Fishing Technical Working Group, established in October 2003, aims to enhance Indigenous people’s participation in protecting, sharing and using Australian fisheries (NNTT 2003). The working group formulated The Principles Communiqué on Indigenous Fishing, which was endorsed by the Australian Government in August 2005. The principles represent a commitment from stakeholders to:• recognise customary fishing as a sector in its own right• integrate and protect customary fishing within fisheries management frameworks• implement strategies to engage Indigenous people in fisheries-related business• expedite processes to increase Indigenous involvement in fisheries management

and vocational training (NNTT 2005).

The National Indigenous Fishing Technical Working Group defines customary fishing as ‘fishing in accordance with relevant Indigenous laws and customs for the purpose of satisfying personal, domestic or non-commercial communal needs’ (NNTT 2004). The Torres Strait Treaty is more specific, describing traditional fishing as:

the taking, by traditional inhabitants for their own or their dependants’ consumption or for use in the course of other traditional activities, of the living natural resources of the sea, seabed, estuaries and coastal tidal areas, including dugong and turtle (DFAT 1978).

Other definitions include slight variations on these. The New South Wales Department of Primary Industries defines cultural fishing as:

fishing activities and practices carried out by Aboriginal persons for the purpose of satisfying their personal, domestic or communal needs, or for educational or ceremonial purposes or other traditional purposes, and which do not have a commercial purpose’ (I&I NSW 2009).

The Western Australian Department of Fisheries defines customary fishing in its Customary Fishing Policy as fishing activities applying—within a sustainable fisheries management framework—to a person of ‘Aboriginal descent, fishing in

Chapter 5 Customary fishing

Customary fishing

accordance with the traditional law and custom of the area being fished and is fishing for the purpose of satisfying personal, domestic, ceremonial, educational or non-commercial communal needs’ (Government of Western Australia 2009).

Indigenous fishers do not necessarily value individual species in a similar way to the non-Indigenous commercial and recreational fishing sectors. Fish is an important food source, as well as a component of many cultural, ceremonial and social events. Fishing also allows communities and families to retain their independence and connection to their fishing areas and reinforce their social networks through the sharing of gathered food (Campbell & Murphy 2005). Fishing is often opportunistic, with little discarded catch.

The 2000–01 National Recreational and Indigenous Fishing Survey (NRIFS) aimed to better understand the level of fishing undertaken by the Indigenous fishing sector. The survey collected fisheries catch statistics from Indigenous people, aged five years and older, living in coastal communities across the north of Australia from Broome in Western Australia to Cairns in Queensland (excluding those living in the Torres Strait). The survey showed that an estimated 37 000 Indigenous people living in the north of Australia fished at least once during the survey year. This was equivalent to 91.7 per cent of the Indigenous population in the region. It was estimated that these individuals spent a total of 420 000 days fishing in that same year (Henry & Lyle 2003).

The survey indicated that Indigenous fishers in northern Australia harvested approximately 900 000 finfish, 1.1 million molluscs, 660 000 prawns and yabbies, 180 000 crabs and rocklobsters and smaller numbers of other species during 2000–01. The most prominent finfish species groups were mullet, catfish, tropical snapper, bream and barramundi. The most prominent non-finfish species groups were mussels, freshwater prawn, mud crabs, prawns and oysters. Indigenous fishers have traditionally harvested a range of species that are prohibited for non-Indigenous Australians, including crocodiles, turtles and dugong.

Most (70 per cent) of Indigenous catches were taken from inshore and coastal waters, reflecting the distribution of key target species. These waters are also more accessible to traditional fishing methods (Campbell & Murphy 2005). While Indigenous fishers use similar fishing methods to recreational fishers, including lines, traps and nets, much of the Indigenous catch is taken by spears and hand collection methods.

Based on the NRIFS, Henry and Lyle (2003) estimated that 186 200 Indigenous people (excluding those living in the Torres Strait) participated in non-commercial fishing during the survey year and that a total expenditure of $22.52 million was incurred by these fishers. Expenditure on fishing by Indigenous people residing in northern Australia was estimated to be $2.35 million, while the expenditure by those that resided in southern Australia was $20.6 million.

According to Campbell and Murphy (2005), fish and fishing are important educational tools in Indigenous communities, with information being passed on to successive generations. Fishing is considered vital for teaching and practising traditional ways. For that reason, Indigenous fishing rights and opportunities have been formally recognised by many state and territory governments and authorities.

Since 1905 Western Australian law has recognised customary fishing by Indigenous people as separate to other types of fishing (Government of Western Australia 2012). The Northern Territory’s Fisheries Act 1988 exempts Indigenous people from the restrictions of bag limits, size limits, or taking protected species if they are fishing or hunting within their traditional fishing areas (Northern Territory Government 2004).


49

Customary fishing

While many exemptions are being applied to Indigenous/customary fishing, regulations are also needed to ensure such fishing is conducted in a sustainable way to protect fish stocks for future generations, and to provide opportunities to enhance Indigenous participation in fisheries management.

Currently three Aboriginal Fisheries Consultative Committees operate in the Northern Territory to provide opportunities for Indigenous groups to participate in fisheries management (DPIF 2012). In June 2006 the Torres Strait Regional Authority established a Land and Sea Management Unit under the Land and Sea Management Strategy. This unit provides support for Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal communities to care for land and sea resources in the Torres Strait region (TSRA 2010). The Western Australian Government drafted a new policy in December 2009 to recognise customary fishing by Indigenous people in its management activities (Government of Western Australia 2009). The New South Wales Government amended its Fisheries Management Act 1994 to formally recognise cultural fishing (I&I NSW 2009). Fisheries Victoria released its Aboriginal Fishing Strategy in August 2012 to recognise customary fishing and increase Aboriginal participation in fisheries management processes (VIC DPI 2012).

southern bluefin tuna sold from aquaculture farms in South Australia and reported at its market value (farm-gate aquaculture value). The input value of those tuna is also included as a production output from the Commonwealth’s Southern Bluefin Tuna Fishery. To avoid double counting, the input value is netted out of Australian totals.

Note on jurisdictionsAustralian fisheries are defined as those fisheries falling within the Australian Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), which extends to 200 nautical miles from coastal baselines. Australia does have some jurisdiction over the seabed outside the EEZ, where the continental shelf extends beyond the zone. This extended continental shelf area is currently of limited importance to the Australian fishing industry as jurisdiction is restricted to sedentary marine organisms. To simplify jurisdiction, maritime boundaries (determined by legislation) specify the default management responsibility of the state, Northern Territory and Commonwealth governments. Each state and Northern Territory has responsibility for fisheries that lie within its internal waters (for example, river, lake and estuarine fisheries) and, where applicable, adjacent fisheries within three nautical miles from the coastline (coastal waters).

The Commonwealth has jurisdiction for fisheries that lie between three and 200 nautical miles from the coastline. When a particular fishery falls within two or more jurisdictions, an offshore constitutional settlement arrangement is generally developed and responsibility is passed to one jurisdiction.

For more information about maritime boundaries, see the Geoscience Australia website.
