Photographic and trawl surveys of scampi on the Chatham Rise (SCI 3 and SCI 4A) were conducted in September and October 2023 from RV Kaharoa. There was an increase in number of scampi burrows, number of visible scampi, and the trawl estimate of scampi in SCI 3 compared to the previous survey in 2019. This was the first survey of SCI 4A.
As part of an investigation into scampi growth, a total of 5546 and 1172 scampi were tagged and released in SCI 3 and SCI 4A, respectively. To date no scampi have subsequently been recaptured by commercial fishing vessels.
