Explanatory note
This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.
These regulations, which come into force on 5 May 2022, amend the Fisheries (Amateur Fishing) Regulations 2013 (the principal regulations). The amendments relate to daily limits that are set by the principal regulations for the number of finfish (or particular species of finfish) that a person may take or possess on any single day. Mainly, the amendments—
set a daily limit of 50 for baitfish (see new regulation 11A):
set a daily limit of 1 for southern bluefin tuna (see new regulation 11B):
set a combined daily limit for all finfish (other than eels or baitfish) taken from, or possessed in, each fisheries management area (FMA), as follows:
a total quantity of 20 finfish for each of the Auckland and Kermadec FMA, the Central FMA, and the Challenger FMA (see new regulations 55(1), 78(1), and 92(1)):
a total quantity of 30 finfish for each of the South-East FMA and the Southland and Sub-Antarctic FMA (see new regulations 117(1) and 141(1)):
reduce the daily limit for grey mullet taken from, or possessed in, the Auckland and Kermadec FMA from 30 to 20 (see new regulation 55(3)).
Within the combined daily limits for all finfish that are set for each FMA, daily limits apply to particular species of finfish. These regulations relocate where some of those limits are specified within the principal regulations so that—
the daily limits for finfish (or particular species of finfish) that apply to an entire FMA are specified in new Schedules 6 to 9 and 11 of the principal regulations; and
the daily limits for finfish (or particular species of finfish) that apply only to a part of an FMA are specified in the body of the principal regulations.
These regulations also make consequential amendments to the infringement offences and fees set out in Schedule 19 of the principal regulations.
Date of notification in Gazette: 7 April 2022.
These regulations are administered by the Ministry for Primary Industries.
