FOREWORD Australian Fisheries Statistics is designed to meet the needs of the fishing industry and fisheries managers, policy makers and researchers. ABARE has been publishing detailed production and trade data in this series since 1991. The 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 fisheries, and on the volume and value of Australian fisheries trade, by destination, source and product, for the three years to 2003-04. The report also contains a profile of Commonwealth and state fisheries and state aquaculture for 2003-04, covering selected species, fishing method and number of licence holders.

Australian Fisheries Statistics is part of a suite of ABARE publications that provide a comprehensive account of historical trends in, and the outlook for, Australian fisheries. Australian Commodity Statistics provides a historical series of production and trade statistics for fisheries and a range of other commodities. Australian Commodities includes forecasts for major fisheries commodities that are updated each quarter. Detailed analysis of the economic performance of selected fisheries is proved in the annual Australian Fisheries Surveys Report.

Southern bluefin tuna

Aquaculture production is the liveweight quantity of product produced and marketed by aquaculturists. Aquaculture value is the assessed value received by aquaculturists on the basis of an at ‘farm gate’ equivalent, for product marketed. Export quantity data are supplied by the Australian Bureau of Statistics on the basis of the net product weight exported. Export value data are supplied by the Australian Bureau of Statistics on the basis of free on board value. Import quantity data are supplied by the Australian Bureau of Statistics on the basis of the net product weight imported. Import value data are supplied by the Australian Bureau of Statistics on the basis of product cost plus insurance and freight. Production quantity is a measure of the quantity of fish product landed by fishery, usually on the basis of catch records. Production value is the assessed value at the point of landing for the quantity produced and excludes transport and marketing costs. Products consist of fisheries products marketed for human consumption plus nonedible fisheries products. Seafood is any fish or other aquatic plant or animal intended for human consumption; it excludes nonedible fisheries products.

Southern bluefin tuna sold from farms in South Australia are reported at their full market value. However, the input value of those tuna is also included as an output from the Commonwealth southern bluefin tuna fishery. To avoid double counting, the input value is netted out of Australian totals.

culture production fell by less than 1 per cent to $0.73 billion in 2003-04. The value of Australian fisheries production in 2002-03 and 2003-04 is shown in figure A. Rock lobster continues to be the highest value individual catch.

Australian dollar In 2003-04 the Australian dollar continued to appreciate relative to the US dollar (by 22 per cent) and the Japanese yen (by 13 per cent). This appreciation was greater than that experienced from 2001-02 to 2002-03 (when the Australian dollar appreciated by 11 per cent relative to the US dollar and by 6 per cent relative to the Japanese yen). Australia is a small producer of fish, and so the export prices received by Australian producers are set in world markets. Other things being equal, an appreciating Australian dollar results

Overview Quantity and value Australian fisheries production rose by 5 per cent in 2003-04 to 267 000 tonnes (tables 4, 5). However, with falling unit values for many species, the gross value of fisheries production fell by 5 per cent to $2.2 billion. The gross value of products from all three sectors — state wild caught, state aquaculture and Commonwealth wild caught — fell from 2002-03 to 2003-04. The total value of production from state wild catch fisheries fell from $1.23 billion in 200203 to $1.15 billion in 2003-04, while Commonwealth wild catch fell from $0.41 billion to $0.34 billion (table 1).

in lower export prices in Australian dollar terms. This explains a large part of the fall in the unit value of many of the fisheries products in 2003-04.

Aquaculture’s share The real value of aquaculture production has increased over the past decade from $494 million in 1994-95 (in 2003-04 dollars) to $732 million in 2003-04. This represents an average annual rate of growth of 4 per cent, although the real gross value of production has fallen in the past two years. The gross value of aquaculture continues to gain importance in fisheries production around Australia, contributing 34 per cent of total fisheries gross value of production in 2003-04.

State and territory fisheries The gross value of Australian fisheries production in 2003-04, by state and location of catch, is given in tables 3–6 and figure B. Western Australia and South Australia each accounted for around a quarter of Australian production in 2003-04. South Australia’s share has grown significantly since 1994-95 (figure C), based on strong growth in aquaculture production.

03 to $139 million in 2003-04 (table 7). While the volume of wild caught fisheries products increased slightly in 2003-04, falling average prices led to a fall in the value of wild caught production from $104 million in 2002-03 to $89.7 million in 2003-04. In particular, the value of wild caught prawn production fell by $7.8 million in 2003-04 to $23.3 million. The gross value of aquaculture production increased from $48.6 million in 2002-03 to $49.6 million in 2003-04, largely as a result of a $3.2 million increase in the value of oyster production.

The total value of fisheries production in Victoria fell from $109 million in 2002-03 to $95 million in 2003-04 (table 8). The fall in value was caused by both a fall in wild caught and aquaculture production for most species and declining average prices. Farmed abalone production in Victoria increased by almost 80 tonnes in 2003-04 despite falling prices and continued to receive a slightly higher average price than wild caught abalone. australian fisheries statistics 2004

Queensland The total value of fisheries production in Queensland rose from $288 million in 200203 to almost $295 million in 2003-04 (table 9). While the volume of wild caught production increased by 7 per cent in 2003-04, the value of production increased by only around 2 per cent. Aquaculture production rose for all species except jade perch, for which production fell from 49 tonnes in 2002-03 to 35 tonnes in 2003-04.

Western Australia The gross value of fisheries production in Western Australia fell from $582 million in 200203 to $553 million in 2003-04 (table 10). The total value of wild caught production fell by $29 million to $396 million in 2003-04, primarily because of falling average prices of rock lobster. The total value of aquaculture production rose slightly as the increased value of production of mussels and fish offset the drop from yabbies.

South Australia From 2002-03 to 2003-04, the total value of fisheries production in South Australia fell from $497 million to $460 million (table 11). While wild caught production increased strongly (35 per cent) in 2003-04, falling prices meant that the value of production fell (7 per cent). Aquaculture production increased from 13 700 tonnes in 2002-03 to 15 400 tonnes in 2003-04. However, average beach prices (for whole fish excluding freight and marketing costs) for farmed southern bluefin tuna fell by around 11 per cent between 2002-03 and 200304, reducing the value of aquaculture production in South Australia by $25 million.

Tasmania The gross value of wild caught fisheries production in Tasmania fell from $161 million in 2002-03 to $146 million in 2003-04 (table 12). In large part this was attributable to the lower average prices of rock lobster in 2003-04. The value of aquaculture production increased in 2003-04 from $123 million to nearly $133 australian fisheries statistics 2004

million, mainly due to increased salmonid production.

Northern Territory The gross value of fisheries production in the Northern Territory increased from $55 million in 2002-03 to $59 million in 2003-04 (table 13). This was driven by the increase in the value of aquaculture (including pearls), up by $6 million in 2003-04 to $28 million, offsetting the big falls in wild mollusc and crustacean catches.

Commonwealth fisheries Major trends While the total production from the Commonwealth wild caught fisheries has increased slightly over the past three years, the value of output from these fisheries has fallen significantly (table 14). Like the trends seen in the state fisheries, this is largely a result of falling world prices and an appreciating Australian dollar in 2003-04. The northern prawn fishery continued to be Australia’s most valuable Commonwealth managed fishery, worth around $74 million in 200304. The south east trawl fishery and eastern tuna and billfish longline and minor line fisheries were the next two most valuable fisheries, worth $54 million and $47 million respectively. While production in the northern prawn fishery increased by 9 per cent, the gross value of production fell from almost $83 million in 200203 to $74 million in 2003-04. The gross value of product in the south east trawl fishery fell from nearly $66 million in 2002-03 to $54 million in 2003-04, reflecting both smaller harvests and lower average prices. There was a fall in the wild caught harvest and gross value of production in all three major tuna fisheries. The gross value of production in the eastern tuna and billfish fishery fell from $68 million in 2002-03 to under $47 million in 2003-04, while in the southern and western tuna and billfish fishery it fell from $20 million to $8.3 million, and in the southern bluefin tuna fishery it fell from $78 million to $38 million in 2003-04. 3

production and trade

Aquaculture The value of Australian aquaculture production rose strongly in real terms (2003-04 dollars) over the mid-late 1990s but leveled out in the new century (figure D). With a fall in world prices and an appreciating Australian dollar, the value of Australian aquaculture fell in 2003-04.

Major trends For the Northern Territory, and all states except South Australia, the value of aquaculture production increased moderately in 2003-04 (tables 15–17). As noted earlier, although farmed tuna production rose in South Australia, prices fell, resulting in the value of aquaculture production in that state falling by 8 per cent. The value of production increases in the other states in 200304 largely reflected increased production of high value species such as abalone (Victoria) and salmonids (Tasmania). However, like their wild caught counterparts, the prices of these species fell in 2003-04.

Australia’s total exports of fisheries products in 2003-04 were valued at around $1.65 billion. Approximately 80 per cent of total exports were of edible fisheries products such as rock lobster, tuna, abalone and prawns. The remaining 20 per cent of exports were nonedible fisheries products such as pearls, fish meal and marine fats and oils. Pearls are the dominant nonedible export product, by value. The total value of Australian fisheries exports fell by 10 per cent from 2002-03 to 2003-04. This fall was driven primarily by the fall in value of exports of edible fisheries products (11 per cent to $1.3 billion), while nonedible product exports fell by 8 per cent to below $333 million. The drop in edible export value in 2003-04 was mainly caused by a 9 per cent or $90 million fall in the value of crustacean and mollusc exports. Exports of finfish also fell, by $75 million or 16 per cent. The value of exports to a number of Asian markets such as China, Chinese Taipei and Japan have not recovered to pre-SARS levels, with the volume of exports falling slightly and the value of exports being affected by falling australian fisheries statistics 2004

p r o d u c t i o?n? ?a n d t r a d e

world prices and the appreciation of the Australian dollar. However, exports of some products recovered in 2003-04, with the value of exports of abalone and scallops increasing by around 10 per cent and 22 per cent respectively. The decline in nonedible exports was driven by a 7 per cent fall in the value of pearl exports to $310 million.

Edible fisheries exports The principal edible fisheries exports in 200304 continued to be rock lobster ($427 million), tuna ($273 million), abalone ($238 million) and prawns ($161 million). Tuna exports dominate finfish products, constituting around two thirds of the finfish export value. The value of tuna exports fell by $48 million or 15 per cent in 2003-04 to $274 million. The average per unit value of all tuna species fell in 2003-04. Southern bluefin tuna exports fell from $267 million in 2002-03 to $243 million in 2003-04. In part this was caused by a fall in the tonnage of frozen product exports, as the frozen product receives a higher price than fresh or chilled product. Salmon exports also declined substantially in value, falling from $12.1 million in 2002-03 to $4.2 million in 2003-04.

Exports, by destination Main markets for seafood Japan continues to be Australia’s main export market for edible fisheries products (table 24). In 2003-04 around 38 per cent of edible fisheries products, valued at $489 million, were exported to Japan. This is a fall of 22 per cent from 200203, when exports of edible fisheries products were worth $628 million. Hong Kong and the United States were the next largest destinations, taking edible fisheries products exports valued at $381 million and $126 million respectively in 2003-04. The majority of Japan’s imports of edible fish from Australia (table 25) were of tuna products valued at $267 million (down 14 per cent from 2002-03). Exports to Hong Kong were again mainly rock lobster, valued at $158 australian fisheries statistics 2004

million. Rock lobster was also the major product exported to the United States, valued at $94 million. Primary markets for Australia’s exports of finfish products are Japan for tuna and salmon and Thailand for whiting. Japan took over 98 per cent of all tuna products (excluding canned) in 2003-04 and over 62 per cent of salmon exports (excluding canned). Thailand imported over 46 per cent of whiting products. The majority of canned finfish products were exported to New Zealand, with New Zealand taking 87 per cent of all canned tuna exports, and 97 per cent of all canned salmon exports. Hong Kong and Japan continue to be the primary export markets for Australia’s exports of crustacean and mollusc products in 2003-04, taking $360 million and $202 million respectively. Together they account for 62 per cent of all crustacean and mollusc (shellfish) exports out of Australia. The United States and Chinese Taipei took a further 19 per cent or $171 million in shellfish exports in 2003-04. The vast majority of shellfish exports to Hong Kong were of rock lobster (41 per cent) and abalone (37 per cent). Exports of shellfish to Hong Kong increased in 2003-04 for all products except prawns. Tuna accounted for the majority of Australian seafood exports to Japan in 2003-04, representing 55 per cent or $267 million (down from $311 million in 2002-03). Rock lobster exports accounted for 16 per cent of seafood exports to Japan.

Main markets for nonedible fisheries products The principal markets for nonedible fisheries products (table 24) in 2003-04 were Hong Kong ($171 million), Japan ($37 million) and the United States ($29 million). Other markets for nonedible products included New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Germany.

Exports, by state Principal exporters South Australia and Queensland are the main exporters of finfish, while South Australia and 5

Value of imports Import value, by sector Australia imported $1.1 billion of fisheries products in 2003-04, a decrease of $95 million from 2002-03 (table 29). Almost 82 per cent ($905 million) of the gross value of imports was edible fisheries products, consisting of finfish, crustaceans and molluscs and in particular frozen finfish fillets, prawns and canned fish. The value of imports of edible fisheries products fell by 5 per cent in 2003-04. The remaining $201 million of imports consisted of nonedible fisheries products, which included pearls, fish meal, marine fats and oils and ornamental fish. The value of nonedible fisheries exports fell by 20 per cent from 200203 to 2003-04.

exported fish was almost five times the value of imported fish products.

Nonedible fisheries products imports Nonedible fisheries products imported into Australia in 2003-04 consisted of pearls, fish meal, marine fats and oils and ornamental fish. Of these imports (with a told value of $201 million in 2003-04), the bulk was accounted for by pearls ($145 million), followed by fish meal and marine fats and oils ($19 million and $9 million respectively).

Imports of edible fisheries products

Trends in quantity imported

In 2003-04, 49 per cent ($545 million) of the total value of fisheries products imports were edible finfish products, while crustaceans and molluscs made up 33 per cent ($360 million). The largest categories of edible finfish imports in value terms were frozen fish fillets ($194 million, 36 per cent of edible finfish imports) and canned fish ($179 million, 33 per cent). Crustacean and mollusc imports consisted mainly of prawns, valued at $184 million, followed by calamari, squid and octopus imports, valued at $49 million and scallops valued at $22 million. Australia imports relatively large volumes of low value fish and crustaceans (figure F), and exports relatively small volumes of high value fish and crustaceans. In product weight terms, fish imports in 2003-04 were over three times that of exports, but the average unit value of

Over the decade from 1994-95, the total quantity of Australian seafood imports increased by 60 per cent. Finfish and shellfish imports both increased by 60 per cent. In 2003-04 the quantity of imports of edible fisheries products into Australia increased by 14 per cent from the previous year. Imports of finfish increased in volume by 12 per cent in 2003-04, mainly because of an increase in the volume of canned fish. Imports of crustaceans and molluscs increased in volume by 21 per cent in 2003-04, mainly because of the 44 per cent increase in the volume of prawns imported.

Imports, by source Seafood Thailand and New Zealand continue to dominate as the major source of edible fisheries products imported into Australia, accounting for around 43 per cent of total edible imports (table 37). Imports from Thailand made up 24 per cent of edible products by value ($222 million), followed by 19 per cent from New Zealand ($168 million). The remainder of edible imports originated from a number of countries including Viet Nam ($85 million), China ($69 million), India ($38 million) and South Africa ($34 million). Imports from China increased by 55 per cent, mainly reflecting increases in prawn imports. Over 57 per cent of Australia’s imports of canned fish and 16 per cent of canned crustacean and molluscs in 2003-04 were sourced from Thailand (tables 35, 36). New Zealand was the source of almost 40 per cent of Australian imports of fresh, chilled or frozen fish products (valued at $100 million), 27 per cent of fresh, chilled and frozen molluscs ($21 million) and 33 per cent of canned crustacean and mollusc imports ($9.2 million). Almost 20 per cent of dried and salted fish were imported from Norway ($1.8 million), while almost 70 per cent of Australia’s smoked fish imports ($15 million) were sourced from Denmark (table 34).

Nonedible fisheries products Australia’s imports of nonedible fisheries products are sourced from a wide range of countries (table 37). Around 21 per cent of all nonedible fisheries products imported by Australia in 2003 -04 were sourced from four countries — New Zealand ($12 million), Peru ($16 million), the United States ($8.3 million) and Indonesia ($6.2 million). The value of nonedible imports from each of these countries fell compared with the previous year.

Employment Historically, employment data for the fishing industry has been collected by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). The data collected by the ABS is gathered from the population census survey and thus is collected every five years. However, the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation has stated that ‘data collected by the Australian Bureau of Statistics is not disaggregated in sufficient detail to be very useful, and tends to underrecord employees, including through attribution to other industries such as transport and generalised food processing’ (FRDC 2004). While information on the processing industry is collected annually by the ABS from the manufacturing census, the ABS has been unable to publish these data since 2001-02 because of methodological problems (ABS, personal communication, December 2004). The most recently available ABS employment data for the Australian fishing industry is shown in table A. To provide additional information on employment, ABARE has collated available data from its fishery survey data for the Commonwealth fisheries, and from the states and Northern Territory, where available (table B). ABARE undertook a census of seafood processors in January 2005. This information is also presented in the table. The differences in definitions of employment between the states and sectors means that a total number of employees cannot be estimated. However, it appears that estimates for employment in the Australian fisheries industry gathered by ABARE are larger than those given by the ABS in August 2001. In part this may reflect increases in activity over the four years.

ABARE undertook a census of seafood processors around Australia in January 2005. Of the 197 businesses found in the Yellow Pages, 52 were contacted and found to be ineligible (that is, not or no longer a seafood processor) and a further 36 businesses were unable to be contacted.

There were no seafood processing businesses listed in the Yellow Pages for the Northern Territory

Recreational fishing

C

The recreational fishing sector of the fishing industry is larger and more widely dispersed than in any other natural resource industry that supports a prominent commercial sector (FRDC 2004). The large number of participants in this sport is increasingly leading to substantial catches being taken by the recreational fishing sector. In 2000-01, the National Recreational and Indigenous Fishing Survey was commissioned. Commonwealth and state agencies carried out the survey in the twelve months prior to May 2001 (Henry and Lyle 2003). The survey used telephone and diary survey methods to estimate the number of recreational fishers in each state and the extent of their activities. Data collected included catch levels, fishing mode and location, and expenditure data at a state level. From this survey, it was estimated that 3.36 million people across Australia participated in recreational fishing over the twelve month period prior to May 2000. Fishing participation was dominated by males, with a participation rate twice that of females. The greatest number of fishers was in the 30–44 age group, though participation rates were highest among children in the 5–14 age group. The predominant method of fishing across all states and territories was line fishing, while the majority of fishing events occurred in either estuarine or coastal waters.

Estimated attributable expenditure on recreational fishing, by state, is shown in table C. This expenditure includes money spent during the survey period on both directly related fishing items, such as bait and boat hire, as well as indirect expense items such as travel and accommodation. Recently, debate has increased on the allocation of fishery resources between various user groups, especially commercial and recreational fishers. Economic valuations of each of sector can assist this allocation process; however, two things should be noted about the estimates provided in this report. First, gross value of production is not a good proxy for an economic assessment of the economic value of commercial fishing, nor is recreational fishing expenditure a good proxy for an estimation of the economic value of recreational fishing. Second, gross value of production is not comparable with estimates of recreational fishing expenditure. For further information on economic valuation techniques and resource allocation see Hundloe (2002) and Galeano et al. (2004). Expenditure data on recreational fishing does provide an indication of the level of recreational fishing activity in Australia. Major recreational catch species for each state are shown in figure H. While for New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Northern Territory finfish species were of greatest importance to recreational fishers, in Queensland, Western Australia and Tasmania, crustaceans and molluscs were a greater proportion of the recreational harvest. australian fisheries statistics 2004

A recreational fishing licence is required for all recreational fishing in New South Wales. Victoria introduced an all-water recreational fishing licence in 1999; however, there are a number of categories entitling an exemption to holding a licence. In Western Australia recreational fishing licences are required for abalone, rock lobster, marron, net fishing and freshwater angling. Size and bag limits also apply for a majority of fish species caught. A recreational fishing licence is necessary in Tasmania for inland fishing, and for the collection of abalone and rock lobster. Seasonal closures and area and gear restrictions are used for many of the larger australian fisheries statistics 2004

recreational fisheries such as rock lobster, giant crab, abalone and scallops. Queensland, South Australia and the Northern Territory do not require recreational fishing licences; however, South Australia uses effort controls such as size limits, gear restrictions and area closures to regulate recreational catch, while the Northern Territory has fish possession limits for a number of species. The Northern Territory and all states expect Tasmania undertake or have undertaken a number of recreational fishing surveys, based either on species or on individual fisheries. Details on these surveys and recreational fishing in 11
