Australian Fishing Industry

The Australian fishing industry encompasses commercial, recreational, and aquaculture activities that harvest fish and seafood from oceans, rivers, and lakes. It plays a vital role in supplying fresh seafood domestically and for export, supporting local economies and communities. The industry is managed through regulations to ensure sustainable fishing practices, protect marine ecosystems, and prevent overfishing. Key species include seafood like prawns, snapper, and tuna. Advances in technology, aquaculture, and sustainable management help maintain fish stocks and support Australia’s reputation for high-quality seafood. Overall, it balances economic growth with environmental conservation.
