I don't know about victoria, in Tasmania each quota cost you 280,000 and you can only catch 715kgs per year. mind you its live weight.
on the market, processed abalone only cost $280 per kg meat only. deduct all the weights and bibs and bobs. the license holder only can sale to processors for only about 40 kG, LIVE WEIGHT. WHICH I THINK ITS A BAD INVESTMENT.
BUT THATS TASMANIA, considering they hsve more abalone than us.
