Map showing areas where Yellowtail Kingfish are found in Australian WatersYellowtail 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

From Australian Marine Conservation Society (Sustainable Seafood Guide):

WILD 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.
