Yellowtail Kingfish (Seriola lalandi) Commercial Fishery Information
Buyers & Sellers of Kingfish, 
They are usually marketed as whole, gilled and 
gutted fish.  They are sold on the domestic market in cutlet or fillet 
form, with better quality fish being sold for sashimi. 
 
			
				| Commercial Fishing for  
					Yellowtail Kingfish:
			 Yellowtail 
				Kingfish are Wild Caught. 
The major commercial fishery for yellowtail kingfish is in New South Wales.  In
Queensland, yellowtail kingfish are taken as an incidental catch in the snapper handline
fishery.  They are caught by using surface or subsurface traps, trolling, bottom set longlines, poling and bottom set traps, handlines, droplines, longlines and bottom set
gillnets.  They are usually marketed as whole, gilled and gutted fish.  They are
sold on the domestic market in cutlet or fillet form, with better quality fish being sold
for sashimi. 
The most important commercial trevally in Australia is 
Yellowtail Kingfish (Seriola lalandi) named for its distinctive yellow tailfins. 
It’s harvested from the wild, mainly off NSW (November-March) and Queensland 
(April-August), with some off south-western Western Australia; but the majority 
is farmed in Spencer Gulf, South Australia, and usually marketed under its 
Japanese name ‘hiramasa’. It’s a highly-regarded, oily, pinky-white fleshed fish 
that’s popular raw but also lends itself to a wide variety of cooking styles 
  
CATCHING METHOD: Longliners.

Society (Sustainable

CAUGHT YELLOWTAIL KINGFISH: Line caught; growth overfished in NSW and 
indications of significant fishing pressure elsewhere; catch rates have improved 
in recent years but remain below historical levels; uncertain stock status in 
QLD; also imported from New Zealand.
 FARMED YELLOWTAIL KINGFISH: Produced in sea cages; concerns about 
pollution of and escapes into coastal waters from sea cages; reliance on wild 
caught fisheries to supply feed, meaning environmental footprint extends beyond 
the farm.
