View the document The potential of a beche-de-mer fishery.
Author(s): Harriott, V.J.
Year: 1985
Notes: Australian Fisheries, 18-21, June
Held at: IMR - Beche-de-mer BF
Identifiers: Beche-de-mer
Abstract: Covers survey methods of holothurians used on the Great Barrier Reef, and results. Weight loss caused by processing is estimated. From the estimates of abundance and mean weight of the final product, a gross estimate of product yield for the sites surveyed is made. Given the density of the sea cucumber populations surveyed, possible fluctuations in price and demand for the product, and competition in the marketplace from Third World countries with low costs, the author considers a beche-de-mer fishery unlikely to be viable on the Great Barrier Reef.
