In 2020/2021, 476 study burrows were monitored within the Great Barrier Island/Aotea study area with 67% occupied by breeding pairs and fledgling success 76.8%. Only 3 burrows were detected from 128 transects across the remaining medium-grade habitat and distance sampling models could not be run. However, within core high- and medium-grade habitat above 300 m, distance sampling proved a robust population estimate method resulting in 4336 breeding pairs.

New Zealand Food Safety commissioned research to understand what (if any) impact the inclusion of energy labelling on menu boards has on influencing consumers to purchase lower energy foods. Most respondents say that they are unlikely to use menu labelling, however overall, those seeing energy information on menus ordered 12% less energy. Decrease in energy ordered was only seen in adults. Youth ordered 4% more energy. Education is critical to strengthen the impact of menu labelling.

Results for 1 July 2020 – 30 June 2021 and the programme for 1 July 2021 – 30 June 2022 for farmed cattle, sheep, goats, deer, ostriches, honey, salmon, wild mammals, and fish.

The fisheries taking FLA 3 are described for 1989–90 to 2018–19, based on commercial catch and effort data. FLA 3 includes up to 14 species, with three species predominating. Standardised catch per unit effort (CPUE) analyses were conducted on the FLA 3 species complex and on the three prevalent species. Finally, an in-season management procedure (MP), which set a TACC based on partial year CPUE, was evaluated for the period 2010 to 2019, the year the MP was suspended.

Commercial catch and effort data and fisheries observer records of catch and discards by species were used to estimate the rate and level of non-target catch and discards in the jack mackerel trawl fisheries for the fishing years 2002–03 to 2018–19. Estimates were made for broad categories of catch and discards including target species, QMS species, non-QMS fish, and non-QMS invertebrate species, and estimates of annual catch were made for several of the major individual non-target species.
