This table illustrates figures about Australian local and imported fish over a 10-year period. The units are measured in metric tons.
Overall, it is clear from the table that the figures followed a similar upward trend during the first six years; after that, a progressive decline has been highlighted in both categories. In addition, the regional catches of fresh fish are much higher than the imported ones in Perth.
According to what is shown, in 2009 the total number of fresh fish reached a peak of 8949, with 7844.9 locally, while imports were only 1104.1. After one year, imported fish presented the highest figure across the category at 1203.7.
In terms of decreasing, the total number showed a dramatic reduction between 2010 and 2011—from 8035.1 to 6116.6. Moreover, the numbers kept reducing slightly until reaching 5814.7 in 2014.
In 2004, both categories hit all-time low proportions over the examined timeline—2677.77 locally caught, 464.5 in imports—with a total of 3142.2.
