Hi all,
I was watching a new fishing show on the TV on Sunday, I think it was called 'Fish of the Day', and the host was saying that in NZ recreational fishing connected to snapper species provides around $88/kg (of the fish) to the country's economy. This would take in tourism connected with fishing, charters,tackle/bait sold etc. I'm assuming.
Compared to $9/kg of snapper that the commercial catch contributes to the NZ local economy. Of which 70% is estimated to be shipped off overseas.
I know stats can be presented in ways to support a particular position, but those two numbers really jump right out at you. I wonder if there are similarities in Australia's fisheries?  If there is, you've really got ask if we're getting the most out of our fish stocks given the current priorities and approaches to fish management?
I found this information interesting anyway thought I'd pass it on.

Just another weakness in the line only 2lb extra anyway
