Kilograms of lobster landed per pot lift — the fishery’s long-standing index of abundance. For Southern Rock Lobster the relationship between CPUE and true abundance is strong, which is why it anchors the stock assessment.
The Tasmanian fishery carries a commercial catch-rate target of about 1.2 kg per pot lift; state-wide CPUE has ranged from record lows near 0.8 to well above target in productive southern grounds.
IMAS Tas Fisheries ↗CPUE tracks both the health of the grounds you fish and your variable cost of catching — a rising rate means fewer lifts, less fuel and less time for the same catch. Because technology quietly lifts efficiency over time, the assessment standardises CPUE before reading it as abundance.
Silo pulls each of these from the sources the operation already uses, and keeps the figure current automatically.
Fish grounds and depths on the run of abundance, not habit.
Log every lift accurately so your CPUE signal is clean.
Rest worked ground and rotate pots to avoid local depletion.
