This resource includes the series of Aquaculture Site Maps produced for New South Wales and depicts the aquaculture lease area and state wide production totals. The data has been recorded and submitted to NSW DPI.

The datasets contain summaries of NSW Fisheries logbook data on catch and effort distribution for commercial fisheries in state marine and estuarine waters.

The data are aggregated to produce summaries of total catch and effort by fishery at a 1 degree resolution where 5 boats or more operate. For areas where less than 5 boats operate the data is shown as confidential. The data was mapped using 5 year - financial year periods; 2003/04 to 2007/08, 2008/09 to 2012/13, 2018/19 to 2022/23, and 1 year; 2022/23.
