The table gives a detailed breakdown in metric tons of how much fish was caught locally and how much was imported over a ten year period in Perth, Australia.
There was a considerably larger volume of locally caught fish than imported fish over the entire period. This volume of locally caught fish increased dramatically in the first four years before peaking in 2008 at 8136.2 metric tons and then decreasing every year after that, although it did recover slightly in the final year to 5031.9 tons.
With regards to levels of imported fish there was much more fluctuation than with locally caught, ranging from 231.6 tons in 2005 to 1227.3 tons in 2012. However, the overall trend shows an increase over the period with considerably more fish being supplied internationally.
Overall, we can see that Perth was not very reliant on imported fish and was able to provide a large amount domestically. When looking at total volumes of fish, we can see that amounts increased until 2009 and then dropped off. However, Perth seems to be more reliant on fish imports than in the past.
