Foreign catch down
Wellington reporter The tonnage of fish caught in New Zealand waters by licensed foreign vessels fell during 1984-85 for the first time in four years. Tonnages increased from 78,420 in 1981-82 to
103,160 in 1982-83 and 114,030 in 1983-84, but fell to 98,690 in 1984-85. The decline was because of reduced catches of the three most important species, squid, hoki and southern blue whiting, although there was a jump in the quantity of
barracuda and jack mackerel caught.
These statistics from the Ministry of Fisheries are for foreign licensed vessels — trawlers, squid jiggers, and tuna longliners — and not foreign vessels under charter to New Zealand companies.
