In 2003, the fishery's annual quota was set at {{convert|36000|MT}}.<ref name=":0" /> By 2014, the annual quota had increased to {{convert|38000|MT}}.<ref name=":1" /> The fishery's total landed catch peaked at {{convert|56952|MT}} in the financial year 2004-05 stabilising at around {{convert|32000|MT}} per year thereafter.
