Description
Overview This report presents results of the 2017 Northern Prawn Fishery survey, comprising survey based estimates of financial and economic performance for the 2014-15 and 2015-16 financial years, as well as non-survey based estimates of economic performance for the fishery in the 2016-17 financial year. Key issues * Profit at full equity, a profit indicator that assumes that all assets are fully owned by operators, increased for the average boat in the fishery between 2014-15 and 2015-16, from $531,556 to $737,160. * Net economic returns (NER) for the fishery rose from $20.7 million in 2014-15 to $30.9 million in 2015-16. The increase in NER from 2014-15 to 2015-16 was primarily driven by faster growth in fishing income than in fishing costs. The growth in fishing income was driven by increased landings of tiger prawns which increased by 85 per cent in 2015-16. * Preliminary non-survey based estimates indicate that NER in the NPF declined by 2 per cent in 2016-17 to $30.3 million.
