Download 2012 Compliance Risk Profile of the Sub-Antarctic Southern Blue Whiting Fisheries

The Ministry for Primary Industries is releasing historical reports dealing with compliance risk profiling of the Southern Blue Whiting fishery that were designed to better inform fisheries management practices and in turn raise compliance levels.

The purpose of these reports, a summary of which was released on our website last year, was to identify the extent to which the reporting of catch may have been inaccurate and the reasons for those inaccuracies.

As a result of this work, industry changed its processing procedures which resulted in more accurate reporting and MPI altered conversion factors to ensure the way the fish was processed was more transparent.
