      abstract = {The total factor productivity indexes of five key  Commonwealth fisheries have been developed using the Fisher  index and ABARES survey data. Where fish stock biomass  information is available, these indexes are also adjusted  for changes in fish stocks. In trend terms, productivity  increased over the last decade in most Commonwealth  fisheries analysed. These increases reflect a mix of  government induced structural adjustments and management  changes as well as autonomous adjustment responses to  market conditions.
Changes in productivity can provide  information regarding the response of fishing fleets to  policy settings and how changes in fish stocks, technology  and fleet structure have influenced a fishery’s economic  performance. These results are part of ongoing work to  develop a suite of economic indicators to assess the  economic performance of key Commonwealth fisheries.},
