Publisher: New Zealand Office of the Minister for the Environment

Creation date: 2001

This paper seeks the Committee’s agreement to consolidate the current licensing and compliance regimes applying to aquaculture. It proposes that all fish farmers, whether using land or sea based facilities, be registered under the Fisheries Act 1996. Registered fish farmers would be required to comply with controls (primarily set by regulation), governing the acquisition and disposal of fish, the operation of the farms, and the creation and supply of information regarding the farmed product.

Key Words: New Zealand • Aquaculture Moratorium • Policy and Regulation • Aquaculture Reform • Enforcement and Compliance
