Proposal to increase the in-season TACs for RCO 2, RCO 3 and FLA 3

The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) is seeking feedback and additional information from tangata whenua, the fishing industry, other stakeholders and interested parties on proposals to increase the in-season Total Allowable Catch (TAC) for a number of inshore fish stocks. The proposals focus on increasing the value fishers obtain from sustainable use of these well-managed inshore quota fisheries by increasing the quantity of Annual Catch Entitlement (ACE) available to fishers. They are:

for red cod RCO 2 and RCO 3, and flatfish FLA 3:

  • a proposed increase in the in-season TAC for each stock; and
  • a proposed increase for creating additional ACE for each stock
