Abstract

Contains market sampling data for a variety of commercial fish species. The sampling usually takes place at a fish processing facility or shed, and is representative of that portion of the catch that is marketed or sold. A shed or market sample involves measuring a sample of the landed catch at, or subsequent to, the point of landing.

The primary time series of market data is from 1990 to the present time. The major species on the database are snapper, hoki, short and long finned eels, paua, red cod, trevally, kahawai, gemfish, orange roughy, scallop, blue nose, and blue and jack mackerel.
