Maori Fisheries Act 2004

Notice of Classification and Harbour Data for Stocks Entering the Quota Management System on 1 October 2010

Pursuant to the Maori Fisheries Act 2004, I, Peter Te Matakahere Douglas, Chief Executive of Te Ohu Kai Moana Trustee Limited, acting under the authority of an Instrument of Delegation from the Board of Te Ohu Kai Moana Trustee Limited dated the 29th day of March 2010, hereby give notice that I have made the following determinations under section 7(1) of the Maori Fisheries Act 2004.

Entry 1 October 2010

Attached Bladder Kelp Seaweed – Stocks KBB3, KBB4

Bladder kelp seaweed (Macrocystis Pyrifera) is a large seaweed species occurring throughout New Zealand. This seaweed occurs predominately in coastal waters around southern North Island, the South Island, Chatham Islands, Stewart Islands and New Zealand’s sub-Antarctic islands. Bladder kelp is found in the lower intertidal to shallow sub-tidal zones and prefers a rocky substrate. Bladder kelp prefers depths less than 40m and usually does not occur shallower than about 5m. (Data from Ministry of Fisheries (2009): Introduction of Bladder Kelp Seaweed, Macrocystis Pyrifera (KBB), in Fisheries Management Areas 3 and 4 into the Quota Management System on 1 October 2010, Initial Position Paper.)

This data indicates that attached bladder kelp stocks are an Inshore species for classification purposes.

Patagonian Toothfish – Stock PTO1

Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus Eleginoides) (also known as Chilean sea bass) is a fish found in cold, temperate water. Patagonian toothfish is found in New Zealand’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), in certain areas towards the southern boundary of the EEZ. Toothfish occur in water as shallow as 50m and as deep as over 3,000m. In general the species’ depth distribution is related to size; very small fish are found in less than 100m and very large fish are found in depths greater than 1,200m. Almost all commercial catch data records (catch data that has depth included) for Patagonian toothfish in New Zealand’s EEZ for the last five years report the species has been taken at depths greater than 1,000m from the surface. (Data from Ministry of Fisheries (2009): Introduction of Patagonian toothfish into the Quota Management System on 1 October 2010, Initial Position Paper.)

This data indicates that the Patagonian toothfish stock is a Deepwater species for classification purposes.

Stocks with no Harbour Quota

Attached Bladder Kelp Seaweed – Stocks KBB3, KBB4

In the South Island, bladder kelp penetrates deeply inside the harbours of Port Pegasus, Paterson Inlet, Otago, Akaroa and Lyttelton. Further north, the kelp grows inside Port Underwood, Queen Charlotte Sound and Wellington Harbour. Although analysis indicates that kelp grows within the harbours identified above, none of these harbours are listed in Schedule 2 of the Maori Fisheries Act 2004 for the purpose of allocation. The only harbour listed in the South Island is Marlborough Sounds. (Data from Cameron H. Hay (1990): The Distribution of Macrocystis (Phaeophyta: Laminariales) as biological indicator of cool sea surface temperature, with special reference to NZ waters.)

This data indicates that no harbour quota will be deducted from the total settlement quota for attached bladder kelp stocks for classification purposes.

Patagonian Toothfish – Stocks PTO1

Patagonian toothfish distribution in New Zealand EEZ occurs in areas towards the southern boundary of FMA6 (Sub-Antarctic). Toothfish is found in cold water and is caught at depths over 1,000m from the sea’s surface. Most fishing to date of Patagonian toothfish has taken place towards the southern boundary of the EEZ, distribution and fishing of toothfish does not occur in any harbours of New Zealand including those harbours listed in Schedule 2 of the Maori Fisheries Act 2004. (Data from Ministry of Fisheries (2009): Introduction of Patagonian toothfish into the Quota Management System on 1 October 2010, Initial Position Paper.)
