Understanding and Forecasting Seafood Supplies and Buyers Behaviour Trading at the Sydney Fish Market

• Project Number: 2008/740
• PhD Student: Mr Vipul Pare
• Student Affiliation: University of South Australia
• Primary Supervisor: Dr John Dawes
• Co-Supervisors - Dr Carl Driesener and Dr Herve Remaud
• Mentor: Gus Dannoun (Sydney Fish Market)

About the Project

Currently, the Sydney Fish Market does not use the vast amount of data that are automatically collected during the auction sales. Vipul's project will help to Sydney Fish Market to understand how species ‘perform’ as brands. In Vipul's perspective, this database, extending over 10 years, is unique as itwill help the Seafood CRC and the Sydney Fish Market to better understand supplier and buyer behavior, and therefore better understand the Australian fish market structure.

Knowledge that will be created can be extended to other similar Australian fish exchanges, ultimately  resulting in a very good understanding of the structure of the Australian fish market.
