Research and reports

Introduction

Research and science contribute to the management of New Zealand’s fish stocks. However, for many of our fisheries there is a dearth of information that can be reliably used to guide the science process. To ensure a balanced management approach the New Zealand Sport Fishing Council (NZSFC) works with a number of agencies and organisations to better understand fisheries management.

Over time the NZSFC will add to this collection of research and science papers, reports and data sheets. The source of the information is noted alongside the document below.
