flag New Zealand will update fish quota values by landing method and ban commercial marlin bycatch landings for sustainability.

flag New Zealand plans to revise its deemed value system for fish caught beyond quotas, introducing separate rates based on how fish are landed—fresh or frozen—to better match market realities. flag The change, part of a 2026 Fisheries Act Amendment Bill, aims to ease financial burdens on inshore fishers using deepwater vessels, whose catches are often frozen and sell for less. flag The government has also decided against allowing commercial landings of marlin bycatch, citing sustainability concerns. flag Public feedback will be accepted during the bill’s review process.
