Impact of COVID-19 on Australian Seafood Industry Data Assets

Australia's seafood industry data assets used to analyze COVID-19 impacts from January 2020 to June 2021 and beyond. The metadata catalogue lists assets referenced in a 2025 report prepared for the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC). It is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

Strengths

• Metadata is linked to a specific, cited 2025 FRDC report providing context.
• Covers a defined crisis period from January 2020 to June 2021.
• Includes data on multiple high-value species, as indicated by platform tags like Tuna and Lobster.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
