Most people have never thought about who owns the right to catch the fish on their plate. It turns out it’s a real asset, and it trades.
This week James Whelan and Heath Moss head out to sea with Anthony Ciconte, head of Atlantis Fisheries Consulting Group.
Anthony traces his path from selling lobster tanks in Chinatown to managing statutory fishing rights for investors. He explains how quota works as a title to a share of the catch in perpetuity, and why southern bluefin tuna has gone from near-collapse to a global management success story. The global catch limit has just been lifted to 23,647 tonnes a year for 2027–29.
They also cover how investors earn a return through leasing and capital growth, and the new country-of-origin labelling rules for seafood that started on 1 July. Anthony also explains why Australia’s science-based management and on-board camera monitoring underpin the sector.
Back on shore, James runs through the week’s SmallCaps headlines: Mount Ridley Mines, CurveBeam AI, Cobalt Blue, LinQ Minerals, BSA and Cleo Diagnostics. Heath unpacks Wall Street’s sell-off, bond buying, oil’s risk premium, and the hyperscaler earnings and US midterms ahead.
