Tasmanian Fisheries and Aquaculture Economic Indicators for 2022/23

Seven key fisheries and aquaculture sectors, including processing, are analyzed for their economic contribution to Tasmania in the 2022/23 financial year. The work was undertaken by the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies at the University of Tasmania in collaboration with BDO, applying input-output modelling. Indicators measured include Gross Value Added, contribution to household income, and employment figures.

Use Cases

• Assessing the economic impact of the Tasmanian salmonid aquaculture sector based on Gross Value Added and employment indicators
• Comparing the contributions of different fisheries like rock lobster and abalone across multiple financial years
• Modeling regional economic dependencies on seafood production and processing activities
• Monitoring industry trends and workforce changes in the Tasmanian aquaculture sector over time

Strengths

• Covers seven distinct fisheries and aquaculture sectors, providing sector-specific analysis
• Includes economic indicators for three financial years (2022/23, 2020/21, 2018/19) for longitudinal comparison
• Applies a standardized economic contribution framework (Australian Fisheries and Aquaculture Industry: Economic Contributions Estimates - Practitioner Guidelines 2019)
• Analysis was conducted by a recognized research institute (IMAS) in collaboration with a professional services firm (BDO)

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The contribution of immediate processing or farm gate retail activity is not included for the 2020/21 and 2018/19 data
