-
Metric: Annual mean chlorophyll level in the fishery jurisdiction (mg chlorophyll/m³). Measures the average level of phytoplankton in the water, which can provide an indication of ecosystem productivity.
-
Metric: Food Supply Chain Index for the fishery's jurisdiction. Aspirational indicator, data not yet available. Measures the resilience and performance of the food supply chain supporting seafood production and distribution.
-
Metric: Annual climate-related financial losses ($AUD). Measures the financial losses experienced due to climate-related events such as storms, heatwaves, or changing ocean conditions.
-
Metric: Sensitivity level or score of fishery target species. Measures how vulnerable target species are to environmental pressures and change.
-
Metric: Dependence on employment in fisheries by state/territory as expressed by the ratio of total employed population working in fisheries. Measures the share of the total workforce employed in fisheries-related jobs.
-
Metric: Number of other licenced activities and/or use zones, leases, licences, or applications to use that interact with or are interacted with by the fishery. Measures how many other authorised activities, industries, or marine uses overlap with the fishery's area of operation.
-
Metric: Assessment of the range-shifting nature of the fishery's target species (range-shifting/not range-shifting). Indicates whether target species are changing their geographic distribution over time, often in response to environmental conditions.
-
Metric: Presence/absence of formal agreements (e.g. TUMRAs, co-management plans, Sea Country IPA) in place for the defined fishing area. Indicates whether formal arrangements, such as co-management plans or Sea Country agreements, are in place for the area.
-
Metric: Number of fishery closures due to external environmental contaminants in the past 5 years. Measures how often fishing activities are suspended because of pollution or contamination risks.
-
Metric: Extent of negative communication (number of instances) about the fishery, target species, or extraction/production method(s) in the past 5 years. Measures the number of reported instances of negative media coverage, campaigns, or public commentary relating to the fishery.
