Metric: Ratio of the level of actual fishing output to allowable fishing output, i.e. the ratio of actual fishing catch/effort to total allowable catch/effort (TAC or TAE). Where unavailable, the ratio of the number of active fishing licences to total number of fishing licences in the fishery. (%) Measures how much of the available catch or effort allocation is being used. This indicates the extent to which the fishery resource is being utilized.

Metric: Presence/absence of initiatives aiming to address labour supply shortages and/or constraints, including automation. Indicates whether programs or initiatives exist to help attract workers, improve workforce capacity, or introduce automation technologies.

Metric: Number of negotiated benefit sharing or access agreements in place between the fishery and Traditional Owners. Measures whether formal arrangements are in place to share benefits from a fishery with Traditional Owners

Metric: Diesel rebate available to offset costs of production ($AUD/L of fuel). Measures the financial support available to reduce fuel costs for fishing operations.

Metric: Ratio of average quota unit sale price to average quota unit market value. Where unavailable, ratio of quota units traded/sold to total number of quota units in the fishery. Measures how actively fishing quota is bought and sold. Higher values generally indicate stronger demand and confidence in the fishery.

Metric: Year-over-year percentage change in the fishery beach price. Measures how the price paid to fishers for their catch changes from one year to the next.

Metric: Total annual export value of produced seafood for the fishery ($AUD). Measures the total value of seafood exported from the fishery each year.

Metric: Indirect economic contributions from the fishery to Gross State product (GSP). If unavailable, contributions to State Gross Value Added (GVA), or State Gross Domestic Product (GDP) ($AUD). Measures the broader economic activity supported by the fishery through related industries, services, and supply chains.

Metric: Extent of forwards and backwards seafood product traceability for the fishery's target species. Measures how well seafood products from the fishery can be tracked through the supply chain from harvest to consumer.

Metric: Average annual RD&E investment in innovation in seafood production business models for the fishery (e.g. sea ranching, stock enhancement, multiple systems offshore, etc) ($AUD). Measures how much is invested each year in research, development, and innovation to improve seafood production and business practices.
