In 2008-09 Seafood (including aquaculture) contributed $820.2 million to State food revenue. This comprised around 7 per cent of the total food revenue contribution of $12.4 billion. When seafood imports of $260 million (from both overseas and interstate) are excluded from the gross seafood revenue estimate, the industry contributed around $561 million.
Figure 1 shows that the SA Seafood gross food revenue industry is highly export focused, with $331 million derived from overseas exports. Interstate exports valued at $105 million, retail $234 million and hospitality $151 million make up the remainder of seafood gross food revenue.
