The total number of pot lifts worked to take your quota over the year. Divided into catch it gives CPUE; multiplied by cost per lift it drives your fuel, bait and labour bill.
Effort and catch rate are inversely correlated through the fishery’s history — as abundance falls, more pot lifts are needed to take the same quota.
IMAS Tas Fisheries ↗Effort is the input you actually control. Watching lifts against catch tells you when the grounds are tiring — needing ever more effort per kilo — and when to shift ground, change depth, or hold off for better conditions rather than burning fuel for a thin return.
Silo pulls each of these from the sources the operation already uses, and keeps the figure current automatically.
Concentrate lifts where catch rate is genuinely higher.
Match soak time to the grounds to lift catch per lift.
Avoid over-working tired ground that needs more lifts per kilo.
