Kilograms of bait consumed to land a kilogram of lobster. It is a direct running cost and, increasingly, a sustainability metric as fisheries scrutinise the wild-caught bait that feeds other wild-capture fisheries.
Bait is a recurring cost and a supply-chain footprint; efficient operations minimise bait per kilogram landed through bait choice, pot soak and placement.
FRDC ↗Bait conversion rewards fishing craft: the right bait, well-placed pots and the right soak time all lift catch per unit of bait. A poor ratio quietly erodes margin and points to pots working cold ground or being over-baited for the return.
Silo pulls each of these from the sources the operation already uses, and keeps the figure current automatically.
Match bait type and quantity to the grounds and season.
Optimise soak time so bait works fully before hauling.
Place pots on productive structure, not just easy ground.
