The data presents the quantities of fresh fish caught locally and imported into Perth, Australia, spanning from 2004 to 2014. A notable trend is the consistent growth in the overall volume of fresh fish entering Perth during this period, with both local catches and imports doubling since 2004.
From 2004 to 2007, Perth experienced steady growth in fresh fish volume, rising from 3142.2 tons to 6532.7 tons. The most significant surge occurred in 2008, witnessing an additional 2300 metric tons compared to the previous year. Subsequently, there was a decline in growth, stabilizing around 5800 tons until 2014, where the total volume reached 5814.7 metric tons.
Throughout this period, both local catches and imports increased consistently, maintaining a relatively consistent ratio of imports to local catches, averaging around 1/5 to 1/6. Interestingly, while the substantial increase in 2008 is evident in the total volume, its impact on the individual categories of local catches and imports is less pronounced.
