## Resource

Austral Fisheries, a key player in the Northern Prawn Fishery, concluded its banana prawn season early, surpassing catch targets ahead of schedule. This successful season, marked by robust prawn stocks, allowed the company to finish a month earlier than planned. Austral Fisheries capped their own catches, focusing on domestic demand and minimizing fuel costs. The season also saw the absence of A Raptis and Sons, which may lead to improved efficiency and better catches in the future. Positive results are not limited to the Northern Prawn Fishery, with strong catches reported across Australia due to favorable climate conditions and sustainable practices. Austral Fisheries new trawl gear, designed to reduce bycatch, further enhanced operational efficiency. The early finish and strong catches ensure a good supply of banana prawns for consumers, with reasonable prices and consistent availability.
