摘要:The cost of growing out western rock lobsters from pueruli to marketable-sized lobsters has
been modeled from available information. The model uses different scenarios of survival
rates, marketing weights, market prices, feed costs, puerulus prices, labour costs, puerulus
compensation costs, discount rates and capital costs. The sensitivity of estimated profitability
to various input costs and rock lobster prices was assessed by estimating the impact of changes
on the estimates of net present value (NPV) internal rate of return (IRR) and benefit:cost ratio.
Importantly, the aim of the study was to identify key cost and benefit-driving parameters, so
that future research directions and policy decisions can be directed towards overcoming these
potential barriers to profitability, but not to provide conclusive evidence of overall expected
profitability at this stage.
