What each kilogram clears after the direct, variable costs of catching and landing it. With the catch capped by quota, margin per kilo is the number that turns an entitlement into a livelihood.
In a fixed-quota fishery, margin per kilogram — not volume — is the lever operators can move, through price achieved and cost control.
ABARES ↗Because you cannot simply catch more, the whole business comes down to widening the gap between beach price and cost per kilo. This figure ties grade, timing, fuel and lease decisions into one bottom line and shows which of them is really moving the needle.
Silo pulls each of these from the sources the operation already uses, and keeps the figure current automatically.
Lift realised price through grade, condition and timing.
Drive down fuel, bait and lease cost per kilogram.
Focus effort where the price-minus-cost spread is widest.
