In this Miscellaneous Bulletin a research project funded by the Fishing Industry Research Committee is reported. The aim of this project was to derive price spreads for the major fish species marketed in Sydney. Weekly auction-retail price spreads for fifteen categories of fish and two categories of crustacea, over the period October 1982 to June 1986, are calculated and reported. The data are explained, a detailed account of the calculation procedures is given, the resultant price spreads are presented in both tabular and graphical forms, and trends in the spreads, hypothesised factors determining their magnitude and variability, and inter-relationships between the spreads, are discussed. Further quantitative research employing these spreads is proposed.
