As well as being delicious and fresh, a new assessment shows our tiger prawns and bugs are also very sustainable resources.
This is thanks to the proactive approach to fisheries co-management taken by the Central and Northern Trawl Entitlement Holders Association, starting with the stock assessment process.
Our researchers drew upon more than 50 years of data up until 2021 to assess stocks and worked with commercial fishers to better understand fishing practices.
The results indicate that they are some of the best-managed fisheries in the world.
