Worry about poaching
PA Nelson Concern is growing about the effects of poaching orange roughy fish from the Challenger Plateau west of New Zealand. The Nelson Harbour Board’s chairman, Mr Ron Fletcher, said yesterday that poaching could threaten the livelihood of many in New Zealand’s fishing industry. The chief executive of Sealord Products, Mr Graham France, said the deep-water resources could
follow the inshore fishery into collapse. Mr Fletcher said a collapse of the deep-water fishery would not only threaten the jobs of more than 1200 directly involved in the industry in Nelson but would “flow on” to other industries. Engineering and other industries which had grown with the fishing industry would also be hit. The allegations of poaching will be debated at a special meeting of the Harbour Board on Tuesday.
